Adipose Tissue Allograft
Restore volume with innovative donor-based fat grafting technology.
Dr. Saiqa Khan, MD, FACS, provides advanced adipose tissue allograft implantation using carefully processed donor adipose tissue to restore volume, smooth contours, and enhance facial and body features for patients seeking natural-looking enhancement.
About Adipose Tissue Allograft
Adipose Tissue Allograft utilizes processed adipose tissue from screened donors to provide volume restoration and contouring enhancement. Dr. Khan specializes in this innovative technique, which offers an alternative to traditional autologous fat transfer, particularly beneficial for patients with limited donor fat or those requiring large-volume corrections.
Treatment Process:
- Donor Tissue Preparation – Adipose tissue allograft undergoes rigorous screening and processing for safety
- Tissue Processing – Proprietary tissue processing retains the native structure of adipose, including adipocytes, extracellular matrix, and native growth factors while removing immunogenic components
- Strategic Implantation – Processed tissue is artistically placed to restore volume and enhance contours
- Integration – Material provides scaffolding and signaling required for soft tissue restoration and volume maintenance
Enhancement Areas:
- Facial volume restoration in cheeks, temples, and under-eyes
- Lip augmentation and facial contouring
- Breast reconstruction and cosmetic enhancement
- Buttock augmentation and body contouring
- Hand rejuvenation and age-related volume loss
- Post-surgical volume correction and refinement
Adipose Tissue Allograft Implant Benefits:
- No Donor Site Required – Eliminates need for liposuction to harvest your own fat
- Unlimited Volume – Sufficient material available for large volume requirements
- Consistent Quality – Processed tissue provides predictable results
- Reduced Procedure Time – No harvesting required, shorter surgical time
- Less Invasive – Single injection site without donor area trauma
Treatment Applications:
- Primary Volume Restoration – First-line treatment for volume deficits
- Revision Procedures – Corrects previous fat grafting with insufficient volume
- Large Volume Cases – When patient lacks adequate donor fat for autologous transfer
- Combination Enhancement – Used with other procedures for comprehensive results
Dr. Khan carefully evaluates your volume needs, aesthetic goals, and medical history to determine if adipose tissue allograft implant is the optimal approach for achieving your desired results safely and effectively.

Adipose Tissue Allograft FAQ
Adipose tissue allograft safety relies on rigorous donor screening and advanced tissue processing protocols. Donors undergo a comprehensive medical and behavioral history screening, extensive infectious disease testing, including HIV, hepatitis, and other pathogens, as well as a tissue compatibility evaluation. Proprietary processing retains the native structure of adipose, including adipocytes, extracellular matrix, and native growth factors, while removing immunogenic components such as blood cells and lymph nodes. Tissues are quarantined and tested multiple times before being used clinically. Modern processing techniques significantly reduce the risk of infection while maintaining the beneficial properties for volume enhancement. Dr. Khan only uses materials from accredited tissue banks. While extremely rare, potential risks include infection, allergic reaction, or tissue rejection. Dr. Khan thoroughly discusses safety protocols and addresses any concerns during consultation to ensure you're comfortable with the treatment approach.
Adipose tissue allografts and autologous fat transfer both provide natural volume enhancement but differ in several key aspects. For your own fat transfer, a liposuction surgical procedure is used to collect adipose tissue from specific areas of the body using a suction device and a cannula. This adipose tissue can then be processed and transferred to other areas of the body that need volume or contour improvement. However, autologous adipose tissue is not readily available as it requires a surgical procedure for tissue harvesting, which can potentially lead to donor site morbidity. Additionally, clinical outcomes are highly variable due to differences in tissue harvesting and processing techniques as well as variations in tissue quality among patients. Adipose tissue allograft is an alternative option to autologous fat grafting without these limitations: it allows for fast preparation and implantation, does not result in donor site morbidity from adipose tissue harvesting, and is produced using a validated manufacturing process that ensures lot-to-lot consistency, which should result in more predictable and consistent clinical outcomes.
The current data demonstrate that the product remains palpable 12 months after implantation (longer term follow-up is ongoing). The processed tissue provides immediate volume while providing the scaffolding and signaling required to support durable soft tissue restoration. The initial volume may appear slightly overcorrected to account for natural settling and absorption that occur over the first few months. Peak results are typically seen at 3–6 months when any swelling has resolved and tissue integration is complete. Longevity depends on various factors, including the implantation site, patient age, lifestyle, and individual tissue response. Areas with more muscle movement may show faster absorption than static areas. Many patients opt for maintenance treatments every 1–2 years to maintain optimal results. The advantage is that touch-up treatments are typically smaller than initial procedures. Dr. Khan discusses realistic expectations for your specific treatment areas and develops a maintenance plan if desired.
Adipose tissue allograft can effectively treat most areas where volume enhancement is desired. Facial applications include the cheeks for midface lifting, the temples for youthful fullness, the under-eyes for hollow correction, the lips for natural augmentation, and overall facial contouring. Body applications include breast enhancement for natural augmentation, buttock enhancement for shape and projection, hand rejuvenation for age-related volume loss, and post-surgical volume correction. The versatility enables comprehensive enhancements in multiple areas during a single treatment session. Some areas, like the face, may require smaller volumes with more precise placement, while body areas can accommodate larger volume corrections. Dr. Khan evaluates each area individually, considering factors such as tissue characteristics, the desired degree of enhancement, and safety considerations. Multiple areas can often be treated simultaneously for comprehensive transformation, while maintaining natural proportions and achieving optimal results.
Adipose tissue allograft costs in the Sugar Land and greater Houston area typically range from $4,000 to $12,000, depending on the treatment areas, volume required, material costs, and procedural complexity. Facial treatments generally range $4,000-$7,000, while body treatments requiring larger volumes cost $8,000-$12,000. The specialized processing and safety protocols for cellular adipose filler contribute to material costs. Factors affecting price include the number of areas treated, total volume needed, injection complexity, facility fees, and anesthesia requirements. At Empowered Plastic Surgery, our comprehensive fee includes pre-treatment consultation, high-quality processed cellular adipose tissue, expert injection technique, post-treatment care, and follow-up appointments. We offer financing through CareCredit, Alphaeon Credit, and PatientFi with 0% interest options and extended payment terms up to 60 months. When considering value, cellular adipose filler injection eliminates donor site costs and healing while providing immediate significant volume enhancement.
Good candidates have specific volume enhancement needs and realistic expectations about the procedure. Ideal candidates include patients requiring significant volume corrections beyond what their donor fat can provide, individuals with minimal body fat unsuitable for harvesting, those seeking to avoid donor site surgery and recovery, patients needing revision procedures after insufficient previous volume enhancement, and individuals in good general health without autoimmune conditions. The procedure works well for patients wanting natural-looking volume enhancement without synthetic fillers. Poor candidates include those with active infections, autoimmune disorders affecting tissue healing, unrealistic expectations about results or longevity, known allergies to processed tissue products, or those preferring only autologous (own tissue) procedures. Dr. Khan performs comprehensive medical evaluation and discusses your goals, medical history, and treatment preferences to determine if cellular adipose filler injection is the optimal choice for achieving your desired volume enhancement safely and effectively.
