BBL with alloClae®

BBL with alloClae® in Kirkland and Bellevue

Procedure Time About 1 hour, depending on the volume treated
Recovery Time Most patients return to routine activities within 24 to 48 hours, as advised by their surgeon

Many women want fuller, rounder buttocks but do not want to get surgery. A traditional Brazilian butt lift (BBL) requires liposuction to remove fat from another part of the body, while butt implants involve surgery to place silicone implants. Both options require more recovery time than an injectable treatment. Women with limited body fat may also find that they do not have enough fat for a traditional BBL. 

BBL with alloClae® in Kirkland is a third option that can be considered. As a donated fat, this filler is injected into the buttocks to add volume and improve contour without harvesting fat from the patient’s body. 

The procedure is performed by board-certified plastic surgeons at the Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery. As a minimally invasive procedure, BBL with alloClae® in Bellevue takes only about an hour to complete, and patients can leave home the same day.

What Is a Non-Surgical BBL with alloClae®?

What Is a Non-Surgical BBL with alloClae®?

alloClae® is an allograft adipose matrix made from donated human fat tissue. The tissue is processed to remove cells while retaining its structural components. It is designed to provide volume when placed in the treatment area.

Unlike a traditional fat transfer, alloClae® does not require liposuction to collect fat from the patient’s abdomen, flanks, or thighs. Instead, the processed donor tissue is injected into selected areas to improve fullness and contour.

A non-surgical BBL with alloClae® may be good for patients who want to improve the shape of their buttocks without getting a traditional surgical BBL or receiving butt implants. However, injectable treatment is not equivalent to surgery, and the amount of volume it can provide varies by patient.

alloClae® vs. Fat Transfer vs. Butt Implants

The best option depends on the desired change in size, body shape, medical history, and willingness to undergo surgery.

Feature alloClae® Fat Transfer BBL Butt Implants
Material Processed donor adipose tissue Fat transferred from the patient’s body Silicone implants
Surgery required No traditional surgery Yes Yes
Anesthesia Local anesthesia, according to the treatment plan General anesthesia or other anesthesia, depending on the procedure Typically general anesthesia
Donor site None Abdomen, flanks, or thighs None
Volume change Generally intended for targeted contouring Can provide more substantial volume changes Can provide a more substantial increase in volume
Recovery May involve a shorter recovery period Usually requires more extensive recovery Usually requires several weeks of recovery
May suit patients who want Targeted fullness and contour refinement More substantial enhancement and who have sufficient donor fat Increased volume through implants

Patients seeking a dramatic increase in size may need to consider surgical options. Those interested in more targeted contouring without liposuction may wish to discuss alloClae® BBL treatment with a qualified surgeon. The expected results, limitations, and risks should be reviewed before choosing a procedure.

What Can alloClae® Do for the Buttocks?

At The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery, alloClae® treatment can be considered for patients who want to improve the shape and balance of their buttocks. Depending on their anatomy and treatment plan, possible goals include:

  • Adding fullness to a relatively flat buttock profile
  • Improving fullness along the upper and outer curves
  • Softening the appearance of hip dips
  • Addressing differences in volume between the two sides
  • Improving selected contour irregularities
  • Refining the results of a previous fat transfer, when appropriate

alloClae® buttock enhancement focuses on targeted volume rather than the substantial size increase that some patients seek from surgery. The amount used and the areas treated depend on the patient’s anatomy and the surgeon’s assessment.

Who Is a Candidate for a Non-Surgical BBL with alloClae®?

Who Is a Candidate for a Non-Surgical BBL with alloClae®?

Patients considering alloClae® butt injections may be interested in a modest improvement in shape without liposuction or implants. A consultation can help determine whether the treatment is appropriate.

Potential candidates may include people who:

  • Want a subtle improvement rather than a dramatic increase in size
  • Have limited body fat for a traditional fat-transfer BBL
  • Prefer to avoid liposuction and surgical implants
  • Want to address hip dips or areas of reduced fullness
  • Have a specific contour concern following an earlier buttock procedure
  • Prefer a treatment with less recovery time than traditional surgery

Good general health, realistic expectations, and a willingness to follow aftercare instructions are important. Medical history, allergies, existing conditions, and the proposed injection area must also be assessed.

Not everyone is a suitable candidate. The surgeon should explain the potential benefits, limitations, risks, and alternatives before recommending treatment.

How the alloClae® BBL Procedure Works

The treatment plan varies according to the patient’s anatomy and goals. The process generally involves the following steps.

Consultation

A surgeon evaluates the buttocks, hip proportions, skin quality, and areas where additional volume may be desired. Medical history and treatment goals are reviewed.

Treatment planning

The surgeon identifies the areas to be treated and discusses the proposed volume, expected results, and limitations.

Anesthesia

The treatment area is prepared, and local anesthesia may be used to improve comfort, depending on the treatment protocol.

Injection

The processed adipose tissue is placed in the planned areas using the technique and instruments selected by the treating clinician.

Final assessment

The surgeon reviews the treated areas, provides aftercare instructions, and explains when follow-up is needed.

Although the procedure does not involve liposuction or the placement of implants, it is still an injectable treatment with potential complications. The injection technique, treatment location, and provider’s qualifications are important safety considerations.

Benefits of alloClae® for Butt Shaping

No Fat Harvesting

A traditional surgical BBL requires liposuction to collect fat from another part of the body. alloClae® does not require a donor site on the patient, so there is no separate recovery area from fat harvesting.

Potentially Shorter Recovery

An injectable treatment may involve less downtime than surgical buttock augmentation. However, recovery varies, and patients should follow their surgeon’s instructions rather than assume they can immediately resume all activities.

Targeted Contour Improvement

Treatment can be planned around specific areas that need additional fullness, including selected parts of the buttocks or hip dips. The achievable change depends on the amount used and the patient’s anatomy.

No Implant Placement

alloClae® does not require a silicone implant or the creation of a surgical pocket for an implant. This eliminates implant-specific complications, although the injection itself carries separate risks.

An Alternative for Patients with Limited Donor Fat

Patients who do not have enough fat for a traditional BBL may want to ask whether alloClae® is an appropriate alternative. Suitability depends on the patient’s health, goals, and the safety and regulatory considerations of the proposed treatment.

How Much Does an alloClae® BBL Cost?

The alloClae® BBL cost at The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery starts at $100 per cc, with a minimum treatment volume of 10 cc. The total depends on the amount recommended and the areas being treated.

Treatment Volume Estimated Cost
10 cc $1,000
100 cc $10,000
200 cc $20,000
300 cc $30,000
400 cc $40,000

These figures are estimates based on the stated price per cc. The actual treatment plan and total cost should be confirmed during consultation.

Treating a small area, such as selected hip dips, may require less product than addressing several areas of the buttocks. Ask the practice whether the quoted price includes consultation, anesthesia, follow-up appointments, and any additional fees.

Recovery After alloClae® Butt Treatment

Recovery depends on the amount injected, the treatment areas, and individual healing. The practice’s estimate is 24 to 48 hours before returning to routine activities, but this does not mean that all swelling or tenderness will have resolved.

The First Two Days

Possible temporary effects include:

  • Mild swelling and tenderness
  • Bruising around the injection sites
  • Discomfort when moving or sitting

Follow the prescribed aftercare plan and ask the surgeon which pain-relief options are appropriate.

Recovery After alloClae® Butt Treatment

Returning to Routine Activities

Many patients may be able to resume desk work and light daily activities within 24 to 48 hours if their surgeon approves. However:

  • Follow the surgeon’s instructions about sitting and direct pressure on the treated area.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise until cleared.
  • Attend recommended follow-up appointments.
  • Contact the practice if symptoms worsen or unexpected changes develop.

Swelling may take longer to resolve, and the timing of the final visible result varies. Do not rely on a fixed timeline without discussing it with the treating surgeon.

FAQs

Can you get a BBL without surgery?

Yes. alloClae® adds volume to the buttocks through injection, with no liposuction, incisions, or general anesthesia.

Is a non-surgical BBL permanent?

The filler is designed to integrate with your tissue, so results are meant to last. Weight changes and aging will affect it the way they affect your own fat.

Can I sit down after an alloClae® BBL?

Yes, with some care. Short periods of sitting are fine right away. Avoid long stretches of direct pressure on the treated area for the first several days.

How many cc do I need for a BBL with alloClae®?

It varies. Filling hip dips may take under 100 cc. Reshaping the full profile usually takes a few hundred. Your surgeon sets the number at the consultation.

Does an alloClae® BBL hurt?

Topical and local numbing are used, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain. Mild soreness for a day or two afterward is normal.

How soon will I see results?

Volume is visible right away. Early swelling can make the area look larger than the final result, which settles over two to four weeks.

Can alloClae® be used to fix hip dips only?

Yes. Hip dips are one of the most common areas treated, and they usually need far less volume than a full reshaping.

What are the risks of alloClae® in the buttocks?

Possible side effects include swelling, bruising, tenderness, infection, lumps or nodules, and allergic reaction. People with severe allergies, a history of anaphylaxis, or an active infection should not receive it. Your surgeon reviews your history before treatment.

Can I combine an alloClae® BBL with other treatments?

Often, yes. Some patients pair it with body contouring or use it to refine a past fat transfer. Your surgeon advises on timing.

Is alloClae® FDA approved?

alloClae® is marketed as a human cell and tissue product (HCT/P) and meets the applicable requirements in the FDA’s HCT/P regulations. Donor tissue is screened and tested for transmissible diseases during processing.
