Benefits

As an innovative and minimally invasive method of correcting liposuction contours, alloClae offers patients numerous advantages. When this treatment is performed by one of the Austin Plastic Surgeon experts, patients experience advantages like:

  • Versatility: Liposuction contour correction with alloClae can be performed on multiple body areas, including the abdomen, thighs, arms, face, hands, and flanks.
  • Natural results: Since alloClae uses donated fat cells in addition to harnessing the power of the body’s natural regenerative properties, results are harmonious and blend seamlessly with existing tissue.
  • Minimally invasive treatment: Unlike traditional fat grafting, alloClae involves no liposuction, resulting in reduced recovery time.
  • Stimulated collagen production: alloClae fosters increased collagen production, which encourages additional volume and is essential for youthful skin elasticity.
  • Long-lasting results: While individual results may vary, many patients report prolonged improvements that can last for several years.
  • Little to no downtime: Most patients return to normal activities soon after their appointment, making alloClae an efficient option for busy lifestyles.
  • Personalized approaches: Each treatment plan can be customized based on unique patient anatomy and goals, ensuring optimized outcomes.
  • Improved patient satisfaction: Many patients report feeling significantly more confident in their appearance following the procedure.

Candidates

Patients who have undergone a liposuction treatment but are left with awkward or unnatural-looking contours may be eligible for contour correction treatments with alloClae. Patients who do not have enough excess fat for an effective fat transfer are encouraged to consider alloClae as an alternative procedure for correcting liposuction contours. Prospective patients should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations regarding the results of their correction. A consultation with one of the expert surgeons at Austin Plastic Surgeon will help to further determine the candidacy of all prospective patients.

Preparation

Once you schedule your surgery date, you will receive detailed preoperative instructions. Following these closely will ensure a smooth procedure with optimal results. Patients should discontinue any blood-thinning medications, supplements, or vitamins at least a week before the procedure to reduce complications. Those who smoke or use other forms of nicotine should cease use several weeks before the surgery to promote better healing post-operatively. While these are common preparation steps for all patients, you may receive further instructions based on your personal goals and unique medical history.

Procedure

The alloClae liposuction contour correction procedure will begin with local anesthesia administration. We will cleanse and numb the area receiving alloClae to make your experience comfortable. alloClae acts like a scaffold, allowing fat and other tissues to form around it and smooth out harsh contours.

Your surgeon will carefully inject alloClae into the targeted treatment areas. Multiple injections may be required to ensure an even distribution. The entire procedure may take 30 minutes to an hour, though this depends on the number of areas being treated.

Recovery

alloClae is associated with little to no downtime after the appointment. You may experience some swelling, redness, or tenderness at injection sites, which usually resolves within a few days. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to assess your results and address any questions.

Results

Liposuction Contour Correction with alloClae™ Austin Plastic Surgeon

Results with alloClae are visible immediately and refine over weeks as the injectable stimulates collagen growth. Smoothing liposuction contours with alloClae can uplift confidence and enhance one’s self-image. alloClae is known to provide results that are longer-lasting than those associated with traditional fillers. Many patients enjoy long-lasting aesthetic enhancements for several years. However, certain factors, such as lifestyle habits, weight fluctuations, and the processes of aging, may affect the longevity of one’s alloClae results.

Corresponding Procedures

In addition to correcting liposuction contours, alloClae can be performed on essentially any part of the body that could benefit from rejuvenation or volume enhancement. alloClae can also address concerns like sunken cheeks, hollow under-eyes, and facial wrinkles. alloClae is also an option for breast and buttocks enhancement. It can also be used to enhance the results of other procedures, particularly anything involving fat transfers. Fat transfer procedures, like fat transfers to the face, to the buttocks (a BBL), or to the breasts are performed by harvesting fat from a donor site, purifying it, and injecting it into areas in need of enhancement. Incorporating alloClae into these treatments can benefit patients by requiring less fat to be harvested and providing a scaffolding matrix in the treated areas to help the fat remain in an optimal position. alloClae use is not limited to fat transfer procedures, either. Our practice can include injections in rib repositioning, tummy tucks, lift procedures, and more.

Cost of Liposuction Contour Correction with alloClae in Austin

The total cost of your liposuction contour correction procedure will depend on a variety of factors, including how much alloClae is used, which areas are being addressed, your personal goals, and others. After meeting with one of the expert surgeons at Austin Plastic Surgeon, you will receive an accurate price estimate for your treatment.
