alloClae™ Breast Augmentation

alloClae breast augmentation is an implant-free alternative for breast enhancement, adding volume to the breasts using processed donor adipose tissue. For patients desiring natural breast volume without traditional silicone breast implants, alloClae provides an appealing alternative. Unlike traditional fat transfer for breast augmentation, it eliminates the need for liposuction to harvest your own fat, making it an excellent option for those who lack sufficient donor fat. It is also a great option for patients looking for a rapid recovery, as the procedure can be done under local anesthesia and has minimal to no downtime.

At Austin Plastic Surgeon, our team focuses on using advanced techniques and state-of-the-art technologies to provide beautiful, natural-looking results customized to each patient’s unique goals and anatomy. We take an artful approach to alloClae breast augmentation, prioritizing balance, authenticity, and complementary enhancements that celebrate your natural silhouette.

About alloClae™ Breast Augmentation

Unlike traditional breast augmentation methods, alloClae is an off-the-shelf regenerative treatment that uses purified donor fat cells to add targeted soft tissue volume without the need for synthetic implants or invasive surgery. The product is composed of an allogeneic adipose tissue matrix, which is donated human fat that has undergone a proprietary five-step purification process to remove cellular debris and DNA. This rigorous processing minimizes the risk of immune response while preserving a bioactive “honeycomb” framework rich in collagen, extracellular matrix proteins, and natural growth factors. ⁽¹⁾ Once injected, this matrix acts as a biological scaffold that encourages the body’s own cells to migrate into the area, stimulating long-term tissue remodeling and collagen production.

Benefits

Choosing alloClae for breast augmentation offers a multitude of clinical and aesthetic advantages. Key benefits include:

Candidates

Potential candidates for alloClae breast augmentation are individuals in overall good health who desire a subtle, natural breast enhancement rather than a dramatic size increase. Though, the size is completely dependent on the volume and placement of the alloClae. Patients wanting a larger breast size will need more alloClae product. In general, the most common treatment is 100cc per side for an alloClae breast augmentation. This typically increases the breast by a cup size. The beauty of alloClae breast augmentation is that we can size you in the office, and based on the sizing and wishes, our board certified plastic surgeons can recommend an amount of alloClae to help you achieve the desired appearance. The procedure is particularly well-suited for patients who desire an implant-free option and want to avoid the risks and downtime associated with traditional breast implant surgery. It is an excellent choice for leaner patients who lack the body fat for a traditional fat transfer, or our busy business professionals that don’t want the downtime of liposuction and other surgeries. Additionally, alloClae is highly effective for correcting mild asymmetry, smoothing contour irregularities, or restoring upper-pole fullness that may have diminished due to pregnancy, weight loss, or natural aging. alloClae is frequently used in our patients to treat rippling. Many of our patients are on their weight loss journey, and alloClae not only restores the volume it can hide visible edges of the breast implant. All candidates should have realistic expectations about surgery and anticipate a modest size increase (half to one cup size).

Personal Consultation

During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your breast anatomy, including skin quality, any asymmetry or contour irregularities, and existing volume. You will discuss your medical history, any previous breast surgeries or history of breastfeeding, aesthetic goals, and preference for avoiding synthetic implants or liposuction. This is also your time to ask questions about the procedure, recovery process, and potential outcomes. Once your surgeon determines that an alloClae breast augmentation is the right procedure for you, they will create your personalized treatment plan.

Preparation

Preparing for an alloClae breast augmentation is more straightforward than it is with traditional breast implant surgery or liposuction and fat transfer to your breast. Your surgeon will recommend avoiding nicotine, alcohol, and certain blood-thinning medications and supplements in the days leading up to your procedure to minimize the risk of bruising and support optimal healing. Our team will provide clear instructions regarding what to wear and how to prepare the treatment area for your appointment.

Procedure

alloClae breast augmentation is an efficient, in-office procedure that typically takes between 60 and 90 minutes to complete. To ensure your comfort, your surgeon begins by applying a topical numbing cream or injecting a local anesthetic to thoroughly numb the breast tissue. Once the area is prepared, they will make a tiny incision and use a specialized cannula to deliver the alloClae into targeted regions. Because your surgeon controls and performs the placement in real time using the ultrasound, they can precisely build volume and refine the breast contour to achieve optimal symmetry and shape. The majority of the alloclae augmentations are done using the preservation concept. This places the alloClae above the muscle fascia, below the breast gland, to preserve all the natural ligaments and tissue. The goal is to stay out of the breast gland but give a natural appearance and feel. It utilizes all of the preservation concepts while using a natural product such as alloClae for the augmentation. Patients generally experience a sensation of pressure rather than pain, and since general anesthesia is not required, you will remain awake and comfortable throughout the session. We have had patients here at Austin Plastic Surgeon that have had surgery at noon and been out to dinner at 7 that same day looking absolutely fabulous!

Recovery

Recovery after alloClae is relatively quick, with most patients returning to their normal daily routines within 24 to 48 hours. Since there is no liposuction or harvesting of fat, there is no donor site to heal from, downtime is significantly reduced compared to traditional fat transfer. It is normal to experience some mild swelling, tenderness, or light bruising at the injection sites for a few days as the tissue adjusts to the new volume. You may be advised to wear a soft, supportive bra and avoid strenuous chest-focused exercise for about a week to support optimal tissue integration. Any minor discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter support, and the small entry points usually heal without the need for sutures.

Results

Patients can appreciate a noticeable improvement in breast volume and contour immediately following the procedure. While initial results are visible right away, the final enhancements will continue to refine over several weeks as swelling dissipates and the alloClae matrix integrates with the surrounding natural tissue. Results typically stabilize by three months, at which point the breasts take on a softer, more harmonious appearance. Because the product stimulates the body’s own fat and integrates over time, the benefits are designed to be long-lasting, with many patients enjoying their enhanced curves for several years. While the body may gradually metabolize some of the matrix over 12 to 24 months, ⁽²⁾ the regenerative signals often provide lasting improvements in tissue quality and volume.

Corresponding Procedures

alloClae is a highly versatile tool that can be used on its own or in conjunction with other procedures to enhance overall aesthetic results. It is frequently combined with liposuction of the abdomen or thighs for comprehensive body reshaping. For patients undergoing a breast lift, alloClae can add supplemental volume to the upper pole, providing a more youthful look than a lift alone. It also plays a vital role in breast revision surgery, where it is used to disguise implant edges, smooth visible rippling, or enhance cleavage for a more seamless transition. We have also had patients that do a hybrid breast augmentation, which combines a 6th generation Motiva breast implant and alloClae or fat transfer. This softens the appearance of the implant and allows for more customization in final results.

Cost of alloClae Breast Augmentation in Austin, San Antonio, and West Lake Hills

The cost of your alloClae breast augmentation is customized based on the details of your unique treatment plan. Factors influencing the final price include the amount of alloClae required to reach your desired volume, the complexity of the correction (such as addressing asymmetry), and whether it is being combined with any other procedures. In general for an alloClae augmentation, the vast majority of patients will do at least 100cc per side to see a noticeable difference. This is typically an increase in cup size, but varies from person to person. During your consultation, your specialist will provide you with a straightforward price estimate.
