Recovery Time 24 to 48 hours back to routine

Minimum Treatment: 4 cc

As we get older, the face loses fat. The cheeks flatten, the temples hollow, and the area under the eyes starts to look tired even after a good night’s sleep. Weight loss and heavy training can do the same thing at any age.

The usual fix is either synthetic filler, which wears off within a year, or a surgical fat transfer, which means liposuction and a longer recovery. Slim patients are often told they do not have enough fat to move in the first place.

Fat Transfer to Face with alloClae^® adds fat tissue back to the face using a small cannula without surgery or liposuction.

The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery offers alloClae^® Fat Transfer to Face in Kirkland, performed by Board-certified plastic surgeons in a single visit with almost no downtime

What Is Fat Transfer to Face with alloClae^®?

It is a filler treatment that puts fat back where the face has lost it. Instead of a synthetic gel or your own fat, the filler is alloClae^®, an allograft adipose matrix. In simple terms, it is donated human fat that has been screened and processed so the living cells are removed, but the natural framework of the fat is kept. That framework is what gives fat its soft feel and lets it hold shape.

After placement, your own cells grow into the matrix over the next few weeks, and it settles in much like your own fat. A non-surgical facial fat transfer with alloClae^® works a lot like a traditional fat transfer, except the fat arrives ready to use. Nothing is taken from your abdomen or thighs, so the face is the only area that needs to heal.

The treatment is done in the clinic. You stay awake, the area is numbed, and you walk out the same day.

How Does alloClae^® Compare to Other Facial Volume Options?

	alloClae^®	Surgical Fat Transfer	Hyaluronic Acid Filler
Material	Processed donor fat matrix	Your own fat from liposuction	Synthetic gel
Surgery	No	Yes	No
Anesthesia	Local	IV sedation or general	Local
Donor site	None	Yes	None
Feel	Like your own tissue	Like your own tissue	Gel, can feel firm
How long it lasts	Meant to integrate and stay	Long-lasting, some fat loss over time	6 to 18 months
Downtime	24 to 48 hours	One to two weeks	A day or two
Best for	Lasting volume without surgery	Patients with enough fat to spare	Short-term or trial volume

Hyaluronic acid works well but needs repeating. Surgical fat transfer lasts but needs a donor site. alloClae^® for face sits in the middle: real tissue, no surgery, and a result meant to stay.

What Can alloClae^® Facial Volume Restoration Do for the Face?

At The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery, facial treatment is about putting volume back where it used to be, not adding bulk. With careful placement, alloClae^® facial volume restoration can:

Lift flat or sunken cheeks
Fill hollow temples that make the upper face look narrow
Soften the under-eye area and tear troughs
Smooth deep lines between the nose and mouth
Fill marionette lines at the corners of the mouth
Add shape to a weak chin or soft jawline
Round out hollows left by weight loss or illness

Because the filler is placed in small amounts, your surgeon controls where each cc goes and can stop as soon as the face looks balanced.

Who Is a Good Candidate for alloClae^® Face Treatment?

You may be a good fit if you:

Have lost volume in the cheeks, temples, or under the eyes
Look tired or drawn even when you feel fine
Are tired of repeating synthetic filler every year
Are slim and do not have enough fat for a surgical transfer
Want non-surgical face volume enhancement without general anesthesia or a long recovery
Have mild unevenness between the two sides of the face

Good general health, a stable weight, and realistic goals help the result hold. A consultation confirms whether alloClae^® is the right choice or whether another option would work better for you.

How Does the alloClae^® Procedure Work?

Here is what to expect on the day of your alloClae^® face treatment:

Consultation: Your surgeon looks at your face from the front and side, checks skin quality, and notes where volume has been lost.
Mapping: The areas to be treated are marked on the skin. The number of cc is agreed on before anything starts.
Numbing: Topical cream and local anesthetic keep you comfortable.
Placement: A fine cannula layers the filler beneath the skin through a few small entry points. Your surgeon checks your face from several angles as the work goes on.
Final check: Both sides are compared, the edges are smoothed, and you leave with written aftercare instructions.

There are no incisions, drains, or stitches. You can drive yourself home.

Benefits of alloClae^® for the Face

Real tissue, not gel

Synthetic fillers can feel firm or look puffy in thin skin. alloClae^® is fat tissue, so it moves and feels like the tissue around it.

Meant to last

The matrix is designed to integrate with your own tissue rather than dissolve. You are not booking a refill every few months.

No donor site

A surgical fat transfer leaves a bruised area where fat was taken. With alloClae^® facial injections, the face is the only area that needs to heal.

No general anesthesia

Everything happens in the clinic with local numbing. That means lower cost and no groggy afternoon.

Small, precise amounts

alloClae^® facial volume enhancement is measured in single cc. Your surgeon can treat one cheek a little more than the other, or stop early if the result already looks right.

How Much Does alloClae^® Fat Transfer to Face Cost?

Pricing at The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery starts at $400 per cc with a 4 cc minimum. The face needs far less filler than the body, so the total is usually lower than people expect.

Volume	Estimated Cost
4 cc	$1,600
6 cc	$2,400
8 cc	$3,200
10 cc	$4,000

The cost of treating one area, such as the temples or under-eyes, may fall at the lower end. Treating the cheeks, chin, and lines together takes more. Your surgeon sets the exact number at your consultation. Since the treatment is done in the clinic with local numbing, there are no operating room or anesthesia fees added.

What Is Recovery Like After alloClae^® Facial Treatment?

The first two days

Mild swelling, mostly in the cheeks and under the eyes
Light bruising near the entry points is common
Over-the-counter pain relief is usually enough
Sleeping with your head slightly raised helps swelling settle

Getting back to routine

Most patients return to work within 24 to 48 hours
Avoid pressing or rubbing the treated areas for the first week
Skip facials, massage, and hard workouts until your surgeon clears you
Makeup can usually go on the next day
Swelling settles over two to four weeks and the final result shows through
