Is Alloclae an option for breast augmentation?

Question

Hello! I have small tuberous breasts that have lost practically all of their volume from breast feeding. I have no interest in breast implants and am wary of fat transfer. Is Alloclae a possible alternative? I am currently an A cup or perhaps a little smaller but would love to go up to a large B or C. Thank you!

Dear DiemDM,

tuberous breasts can rarely be corrected without implants or at least a small one. The breast needs to be scored radially from the inside to expand it. If you don't place an implant behind the radial scoring it will fall back to its original state. You could theoretically remove the implant at a later day and graft with fat but that would be a separate surgery.

Thank you for your thoughtful question &mdash; tuberous breasts after breastfeeding can be both a cosmetic and structural concern, and you’re not alone in wanting a natural solution without implants.From what you’ve described:
You have true volume loss, likely from breastfeedingA history of small, tuberous breast shapeAnd a desire to increase from an A to a full B or C cup without implants or fat transferLet’s break it down:1. Is AlloX (like AlloDerm or similar scaffolds) a solution?AlloX-based internal support materials can help reshape the breast, support the lower pole, and improve projection &mdash; especially in tuberous breast cases. However, they don’t add volume by themselves. They are like internal “scaffolding,” not fillers.2. What about fat transfer?If you're wary of fat grafting, that’s understandable. But in low-volume patients like yourself, carefully controlled, micro-droplet fat transfer (if done properly) can be a safe, long-lasting way to add natural volume. In my experience, combining it with structural correction (such as a Push-Up Lift) gives stable, aesthetic results.3. Can a lift alone help?In cases like yours, a lift alone will reshape the breast, release lower pole constriction, and centralize the nipple &mdash; but it won’t achieve a cup size increase. That said, I often perform what I call a Push-Up Lift, which uses your own tissue to create projection and shape, even without implants.So, to reach your goal of a full B or small C cup without implants, the most effective path might be a combination of:Push-Up LiftAnd small-volume, targeted fat grafting &mdash; if you’re open to revisiting itYou're absolutely not out of options &mdash; you just need a personalized plan that aligns with your values and anatomy.

Thank you for the question but you did not post any photos so best to either virtual consult or in person consult. I am in Miami also so you could consult virtually first and we can discuss that the issue with the new ALLOCOAE injections are their cost Specifically if you need 100 cc per breast that would be a $30,000 cost since the product is so expensive best of virtual concept with first so further details can be examined and discussed regards
