Expert alloClae Treatment at Asia Pacific Aesthetics

Dr. Shim Ching, MD, a board-certified plastic surgeon and one of Hawaii’s most respected aesthetic authorities, offers advanced body contouring solutions grounded in experience, anatomy-driven planning, and patient safety. At Asia Pacific Aesthetics, alloClae is approached with the same discipline and clinical judgment applied to surgical procedures, ensuring it is recommended only when appropriate. Schedule your consultation with Dr. Ching to discuss your goals and see whether alloClae may be an appropriate option for you.

What Is alloClae?

alloClae is a donor-derived adipose tissue allograft developed for aesthetic body procedures. It is composed of intact, nonliving adipocytes supported by extracellular matrix, creating a structural framework that provides immediate volume while allowing the tissue to settle naturally within the treatment area. Unlike traditional fillers or fat grafting, alloClae does not require liposuction or depend on the survival of transferred fat cells.

Benefits of alloClae

Structural volume support: Provides immediate contour enhancement with a firmer, more supportive consistency than traditional fat grafting.
No fat harvesting required: Avoids liposuction, donor-site trauma, and the recovery associated with fat collection.
Biologic composition: Derived from human adipose tissue rather than synthetic materials.
Subtle, controlled enhancement: Best suited for conservative contour refinement rather than dramatic volume changes.
Local anesthesia in select cases: Depending on the treatment area and plan, alloClae may be placed without general anesthesia.

Am I a Good Candidate for alloClae?

alloClae may be appropriate for patients seeking modest volume enhancement or correction of contour irregularities who are not ideal candidates for fat transfer. This often includes individuals with limited donor fat, patients who have experienced volume changes after weight loss, or those wishing to avoid liposuction. It is not intended for patients seeking large-volume augmentation or dramatic reshaping. Candidacy is determined through a detailed consultation and physical evaluation.

Why Choose Dr. Ching for alloClae?

Dr. Ching’s extensive training in plastic surgery and global experience allow him to evaluate emerging technologies with a critical, safety-first approach. His deep understanding of anatomy, tissue behavior, and long-term outcomes ensures that alloClae is used thoughtfully, conservatively, and only when appropriate. Patients benefit from treatment planning rooted in surgical expertise, not trends.

Your Consultation

Your consultation at Asia Pacific Aesthetics is focused on thoughtful evaluation and clear guidance. Dr. Ching will assess your anatomy, aesthetic concerns, medical history, and alternative treatment options to determine whether alloClae is appropriate. Recommendations are made with an emphasis on safety, longevity, and realistic outcomes.

How Much Does It Cost?

The cost of alloClae varies based on treatment area, volume required, and overall treatment plan. Because alloClae is customized to each patient’s anatomy and goals, pricing is discussed in detail during your consultation after a comprehensive evaluation.

What to Expect During alloClae Treatment

alloClae is administered using techniques similar to fat grafting, with careful placement of small amounts of tissue using a blunt-tip cannula. Treatment is performed with meticulous attention to symmetry and contour. Depending on the treatment area, local anesthesia may be used, and most patients return home the same day.

alloClae Recovery and Results

Following treatment, patients may experience temporary swelling, bruising, or tenderness. These effects typically resolve over several days to weeks. Initial volume is visible immediately, with results settling as swelling subsides. Outcomes are intended to be conservative and natural in appearance, with stability assessed over time.

alloClae Body Contouring Applications

Breast Augmentation

For carefully selected patients seeking subtle breast enhancement without implants or traditional fat transfer, alloClae may be used to increase breast size, refine shape, address mild contour deficiencies, or camouflage visible implant edges. This approach is intended for conservative volume adjustments rather than significant size increases. Dr. Ching evaluates breast anatomy, tissue characteristics, and long-term considerations before recommending alloClae for breast applications.

Brazilian Butt Lift

In body contouring applications, alloClae may be considered for Brazilian butt lift candidates who lack sufficient donor fat or require refinement rather than significant volume augmentation. It may be used to address contour irregularities or enhance shape in a measured, conservative manner. Patient selection is critical, and Dr. Ching assesses tissue characteristics, proportions, and safety factors before incorporating alloClae into a treatment plan.

Body Contouring Alternatives to alloClae

Patients considering alloClae may also explore the following procedures, depending on their goals, anatomy, and desired level of intervention:

Fat grafting (fat transfer): Uses a patient’s own harvested fat to restore volume and contour, with results influenced by fat survival.
Brazilian butt lift: Enhances buttock shape and volume using fat transfer, requiring adequate donor fat and surgical recovery.
Non-surgical BBL: Provides subtle contour refinement through non-surgical volume or contouring techniques for select patients.
Breast augmentation: Improves breast size and shape using implants or fat transfer for more predictable volume changes.
Breast implant revision: Corrects concerns related to existing implants, including position, contour, or visibility.

FAQs

Is alloClae FDA approved?

Yes. alloClae is regulated as a human cell, tissue, and cellular and tissue-based product and must meet strict standards for donor screening, processing, and sterility.

How is donor tissue screened?

Donor tissue undergoes extensive medical screening, testing, and processing to minimize the risk of disease transmission and immune reaction.

Can alloClae be removed if I am unhappy with the result?

Because alloClae is human tissue, it cannot be dissolved like hyaluronic acid fillers, which is why conservative treatment planning is essential.

Does alloClae feel natural?

When placed appropriately, surgeons report that alloClae integrates with surrounding tissue and feels soft and natural to the touch.

How many treatments are typically needed?

Some patients achieve their goals with a single treatment, while others may benefit from staged sessions to build volume gradually.

Can alloClae be combined with surgery?

In certain cases, alloClae may be used alongside surgical procedures to refine contours or address specific irregularities.

Will alloClae affect future imaging or exams?

Depending on the treatment area, imaging considerations may apply and will be discussed during your consultation.
