Experience the Future of Regenerative Aesthetics

Dr. Otto Placik brings the revolutionary AlloClae Adipose Filler to Chicago, offering patients an innovative alternative to traditional synthetic fillers and invasive fat transfer procedures. This FDA-approved bioengineered injectable represents a breakthrough in aesthetic medicine, utilizing processed donor fat tissue to achieve natural-looking volume enhancement and body contouring.

What is AlloClae Adipose Filler?

AlloClae represents a paradigm shift in injectable aesthetics. This innovative filler is created from carefully processed donor fat tissue obtained from cadaveric sources through a rigorous bioengineering process. Unlike living donor procedures, this tissue is collected and processed in specialized facilities to ensure safety, sterility, and optimal therapeutic properties.

FDA-Approved Bioengineered Fat Filler - The first and only FDA-approved injectable filler derived from processed human adipose tissue, offering a natural alternative to synthetic fillers with enhanced biocompatibility and integration.

The Science Behind AlloClae

The processing of AlloClae involves sophisticated bioengineering techniques that preserve the natural architecture and cellular matrix of adipose tissue while ensuring complete safety. This process creates an injectable filler that:

Natural Integration

Integrates seamlessly with your body's own fat tissue, creating natural-looking and feeling results that improve over time.

Biocompatible Matrix

Provides a scaffold for your body's own cells to inhabit and replace the injected material with your natural tissue.

Superior Volume

Delivers significant volume enhancement (100-300cc per treatment area) that surpasses traditional synthetic fillers.

Long-lasting Results

Offers potentially permanent results as your body incorporates the filler and replaces it with your own fat tissue.

Benefits of AlloClae Adipose Filler

Ideal for Modern Patients

In today's fitness-conscious society, many patients lack sufficient donor fat for traditional fat grafting procedures. AlloClae addresses this challenge by providing volume enhancement for lean individuals or those who have experienced significant weight loss.

Versatile Treatment Applications

  • Hip dip correction and contouring
  • Cellulite improvement when combined with release techniques
  • Breast enhancement and cleavage improvement
  • Buttock contouring (smaller volume than BBL)
  • Correction of liposuction irregularities
  • Implant edge camouflage
Treatment Volume Range Longevity
Traditional Fillers 1-5cc 6-18 months
AlloClae 50-300cc Potentially Permanent
Fat Grafting 100-800cc Long-lasting

Who is a Candidate for AlloClae?

Ideal Candidates Include:

  • Lean individuals who lack sufficient fat for traditional grafting
  • Weight loss patients seeking body contouring
  • Fitness enthusiasts wanting enhanced curves
  • Previous surgical patients needing revision or enhancement
  • Those seeking natural alternatives to synthetic fillers
  • Patients wanting significant volume without surgery

Treatment Areas

Hip Dips Buttocks Thighs Breasts Face (Future) Arms Calves Hands

Volume Expectations

Dr. Placik typically injects between 50-200cc per side, depending on the treatment area and desired outcome. This represents a significant volume enhancement that bridges the gap between traditional fillers and major surgical procedures.

Future Developments

Tiger Aesthetics is developing DermaClae, a refined version of AlloClae that will be injectable through smaller cannulas for facial applications. This advancement will expand treatment options for delicate areas like the lips, under-eyes, and jawline.

Combination Treatments

AlloClae can be combined with other Tiger Aesthetics technologies for comprehensive body contouring, including cellulite release procedures that address the fibrous bands responsible for dimpling and contour irregularities.

AlloClae Recovery and Results

Recovery Timeline

AlloClae offers a more comfortable recovery compared to surgical procedures:

  • Immediate: Some swelling and tenderness at injection sites
  • 1-2 days: Return to normal daily activities
  • 1 week: Most swelling subsides
  • 2-4 weeks: Initial settling and natural integration begins
  • 3-6 months: Full integration with natural tissue replacement

Expected Results

Patients can expect to see immediate volume enhancement that continues to improve over time. Unlike synthetic fillers that gradually dissolve, AlloClae is designed to integrate with your body, potentially providing permanent results as documented in post-treatment biopsies.

Long-term Outcomes

Similar to bone grafts that have been used successfully for decades, AlloClae works by providing a scaffold that your body gradually replaces with your own tissue. Biopsies performed months after treatment show the patient's own fat cells inhabiting the areas where AlloClae was placed.

Maintenance

One of the significant advantages of AlloClae is the potential for permanent results, eliminating the need for regular touch-up treatments required with traditional synthetic fillers. This makes it a cost-effective long-term solution for volume enhancement.

AlloClae Adipose Filler FAQs

How does AlloClae compare to synthetic fillers?

AlloClae offers several advantages over synthetic fillers: it provides significantly larger volume (50-300cc vs 1-5cc), offers potentially permanent results instead of temporary effects, integrates naturally with your tissue rather than remaining as a foreign substance, and allows for treatment of larger body areas that are impractical with traditional fillers.

Is AlloClae a good option if I previously had surgery or fat grafting?

Yes, AlloClae is excellent for patients who need revisions, enhancements, or corrections from previous procedures. It can camouflage implant edges, correct irregularities from liposuction, or add volume where previous fat grafting may have been reabsorbed. Dr. Placik will evaluate your specific situation during consultation.

Is AlloClae safe for patients with autoimmune conditions?

While AlloClae has an excellent safety profile due to its biocompatible nature, patients with autoimmune conditions require individual evaluation. Dr. Placik will review your medical history and may consult with your other physicians to ensure AlloClae is appropriate for your specific condition.

Can I combine AlloClae with other treatments?

Absolutely. AlloClae works well in combination with cellulite release techniques, skin tightening procedures, and other body contouring treatments. Dr. Placik can develop a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses multiple concerns for optimal results.

Is AlloClae FDA-approved?

Yes, AlloClae is FDA-approved for injection anywhere fatty tissue naturally occurs in the body. This approval represents extensive clinical testing and safety evaluation, giving patients confidence in the treatment's safety and efficacy.

Is there an age limit for AlloClae treatment?

There is no specific age limit, but candidates should be in good general health and have realistic expectations. Dr. Placik evaluates each patient individually to ensure they are appropriate candidates for the procedure based on their health status, goals, and anatomy.
