alloClae™ Fat Transfer
Patients in Columbia, Maryland, seeking natural-looking enhancement without surgery now have a breakthrough alternative: alloClae. This minimally invasive fat transfer procedure delivers the benefits of traditional fat grafting—for facial rejuvenation, breast augmentation, body contouring, and more—without the need to harvest fat from your own body. Whether you’re located in Columbia or nearby areas such as Baltimore, alloClae offers a streamlined solution for restoring lost volume and enhancing your silhouette. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sarah Mess uses alloClae to address signs of volume loss across multiple treatment areas, including the face, hands, breasts, and buttocks.

What Is alloClae?
alloClae is a proprietary blend of Human Cell & Tissue Product (HCT/P) and extra cellular matrix (ECM) that can be used as an alternative to traditional fat transfer procedures. alloClae uses this injectable formulation to restore volume and improve contours in targeted areas of the body. It offers many of the same benefits as traditional fat grafting procedures, without requiring patients to undergo a surgical procedure.
Unlike conventional fat transfer procedures that require liposuction to extract fat from a donor site, alloClae uses sterilized donor fat cells (HCT/P adipose tissue) that have been carefully processed to remove any elements that could trigger allergic reactions, combined with ECM. This approach ensures that only the purest, most viable fat cells and the preserved fat matrix, rich in collagen and protein fibers, are injected to support the natural structure and achieve long-lasting results.
Benefits of alloClae
- No need to harvest fat from your own body
- No general anesthesia required
- Minimally invasive procedure with small incisions
- Reduced downtime and lower risk of complications
- Enhanced collagen production for improved skin quality
How alloClae Works: Process and Technology
The science behind alloClae lies in its advanced fat purification and processing technology. Donor fat is cleaned, sterilized, and processed using a centrifuge to isolate the healthiest fat cells while preserving the fat matrix. The matrix acts as a scaffolding that supports cell viability and encourages long-term integration and regeneration within your body.
By avoiding traditional harvesting techniques, patients no longer need to worry about cannula-related trauma, compression garments, or healing processes associated with liposuction donor sites.
alloClae Treatment Areas
alloClae can be used in many areas of the body where volume loss or contour irregularities are a concern:
- Face: Facial fat transfer to under-eye hollows, nasolabial folds, jawline, and cheeks
- Breasts: For natural-looking breast augmentation without implants
- Buttocks: A minimally invasive alternative to a Brazilian butt lift
- Hands: To restore youthful fullness and reduce visible signs of aging
Who is a Good Candidate for alloClae?
Ideal candidates for alloClae are individuals seeking a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure to enhance facial contour or body shape without undergoing surgical fat grafting. It’s especially suitable for patients who don’t have enough excess fat for traditional fat transfer or prefer to avoid surgery and general anesthesia.
Dr. Mess will develop a customized treatment plan based on your goals, treatment areas, and existing volume loss. Because alloClae uses donor fat cells, patients with a history of severe allergic reactions should disclose this information to Dr. Mess to confirm suitability.
What to Expect After Treatment
Most patients experience minimal discomfort and require little downtime following alloClae treatments. Since there is no fat harvesting, healing is typically faster than with traditional procedures. Mild swelling or bruising may occur at the injection sites, but this typically subsides within a few days. Results are visible immediately and improve over time as collagen production increases and the transferred fat integrates with your tissue for long-lasting results.
Follow-up visits may be scheduled to assess your progress and determine if additional sessions are needed for optimal enhancement.

How is alloClae different from traditional fat transfer?

Can I combine any other treatments with alloClae?
Yes. alloClae pairs well with dermal fillers for lip and jawline enhancement, facelift surgery, or other body contouring procedures, depending on your needs. During your consultation, Dr. Mess can recommend additional injectables or cosmetic procedures to further enhance your youthful appearance, tailored to your specific cosmetic goals.
