HERNDON, Va., Oct. 5, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Dr. Amir Ghaznavi, a dual board-certified plastic surgeon and founder of AMG Plastic Surgery, is using alloClae® to restore volume in patients who have lost a significant amount of fat after major weight loss. This innovative procedure, which does not require liposuction, is ideal for patients who have too little fat left to harvest for grafting.
Dr. Ghaznavi, who has performed approximately 800 liposuction and fat-grafting procedures over his career, is now offering alloClae® to his patients in Northern Virginia. This product, a sterile, hydrated adipose allograft composed of non-viable intact adipocytes, extracellular matrix, lipids, and connective tissue, is intended to provide cushioning and support in localized areas of the body where adipose tissue naturally exists.
Unlike traditional autologous fat grafting, which requires harvesting a patient's own fat through liposuction, alloClae provides structural adipose tissue that is ready for placement. At AMG Plastic Surgery, the procedure is performed in the office under local anesthesia, with no liposuction donor site and no general anesthesia. Most patients return to desk work in one to two days.
Dr. Ghaznavi, who is also a Northern Virginia Magazine Top Doctor in 2026, considers alloClae for patients seeking targeted volume restoration in areas such as the hips, buttocks, hands, scars, and certain breast contour irregularities. After major weight loss, he stages alloClae alongside post-weight-loss body contouring surgery when loose skin is also present.
The amount of alloClae required depends on the treatment area, the degree of correction sought, and the patient's individual anatomy. Dr. Ghaznavi emphasizes that alloClae is not a substitute for every fat-transfer or body-contouring procedure. Patients seeking substantial volume increases may be better candidates for traditional autologous fat grafting or another surgical approach.
Dr. Ghaznavi's experience with fat grafting and body contouring is well-documented. His published research on body contouring after major weight loss appeared in the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery journal and discusses the benefits of body contouring and maintaining weight loss. Dr. Ghaznavi is located at 13454 Sunrise Valley Dr., Suite 130, Herndon, VA 20171.
