Is Alloclae FDA Approved and Safe?

Is Alloclae FDA approved? Alloclae is a donor-derived tissue made by Tiger Aesthetics from donor fat that is screened, processed and sterilized before it reaches a practice. Donor tissue is not approved the way a drug or a device is. It follows the FDA rules for human tissue, which cover how donors are screened and how the tissue is tested and processed. At Revive Surgical Institute in Miami, Dr. Morad Askari uses Alloclae for volume in the buttocks, hips, breasts, hands and face.


Here is what that regulation means for you, how the tissue is prepared and what to ask at your consultation.

How Donor-Derived Tissue Is Regulated

Alloclae is donor-derived tissue, so it falls under the FDA rules for human tissue. Those rules control how donors are screened, how the tissue is tested and how it is processed and handled. The tissue is cleaned and prepared so it can be injected without liposuction, and it arrives ready to use. You can read more about the product on our Alloclae in Miami page.

What Alloclae Is Used For

Alloclae is used for volume and contour in body areas such as the buttocks, hips and breasts. That is what sets it apart from most injectables, which are made for the face. At our practice the most requested areas are a Liquid BBL, hip dips and non-surgical breast augmentation.

How the Donor Tissue Is Prepared

  • Donors are screened before any tissue is accepted
  • The tissue is tested and processed
  • The product is sterilized and packaged in measured volumes

Why the Injector Matters

A carefully prepared product is only one part of a good result. Alloclae is placed with a cannula in layers, and the plan for each side depends on your anatomy. At Revive, Dr. Askari, a board-certified plastic surgeon, performs Alloclae treatments himself and plans the volume after examining you.

Questions to Ask at Your Consultation

  • Which product will be used, and can I see the packaging
  • How many cc does my plan need per side
  • Who will perform the treatment
  • What results should I expect at three to six months

Watch Dr. Askari Explain Alloclae

Dr. Morad Askari, a board-certified plastic surgeon, explains when Alloclae is the right choice and shows how the treatment is done in the operating room.

What is Alloclae, and when is it the right choice?Dr. Askari explains where Alloclae makes the most sense: small contour irregularities, minor dents or dimples, and revisions that need a small amount of volume.

What these videos cover
  • Alloclae is a processed donor fat graft used to restore volume and improve contour in select patients.
  • It fits best for small contour irregularities, minor depressions or dimples, and revision procedures that need a small amount of volume.
  • For larger fat transfers, like a first-time BBL, your own fat is usually still the preferred option because it allows much more volume without the cost of donor tissue.
  • The procedure: the area is prepped with antiseptic and numbed, tiny access points are made, ultrasound shows the tissue layers, and the Alloclae is placed under ultrasound guidance.

Conclusion

So, is Alloclae FDA approved? It is a donor-derived tissue made from screened, processed and sterilized donor fat that follows the FDA rules for human tissue, and it is used for body volume without liposuction.
