Welcome back to Plastic Surgery Before and After! After a multi-year hiatus, Dr. Darren Smith returns with one of the most exciting developments in aesthetic surgery in recent memory: AlloClae — an off-the-shelf fat graft that’s redefining what’s possible in body and breast enhancement.

💡 Episode Highlights

What is AlloClae?

A revolutionary off-the-shelf fat graft derived from purified human donor fat. It allows for natural-feeling volume restoration without the need to harvest your own fat.

Who is it for?

Fit, lean patients who lack enough donor fat for traditional fat transfer

Individuals losing weight from GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic or Mounjaro) and seeking to restore volume in areas like the breasts or buttocks

Patients with liposuction irregularities or contour deformities who need precise, natural correction

Why it matters:

AlloClae offers instant, lasting volume enhancement under local anesthesia, often completed in under an hour with minimal downtime. Early data show 80–90% retention—a major leap forward in predictable outcomes.

🧬 The Science Behind It

AlloClae is built from a 3D matrix of intact donor fat that acts as a biologic scaffold, allowing your body to repopulate it with your own fat cells. The result: natural softness, visible volume immediately, and long-term integration that feels like your own tissue.

🩺 Recovery & Experience

Performed comfortably under local anesthesia

Minimal downtime — most patients can return to remote work the same day and in-office work within 48 hours

Instant, natural-looking results visible immediately after treatment
