‘He can say he went to the gym’: people are pumping themselves with fat from corpses to perk up their pecs, boobs and butts

TL;DR

Alloclae is a new cosmetic procedure using sterilized fat from deceased donors for body augmentation.
It offers an alternative to autologous fat transfer, particularly for individuals with insufficient body fat due to weight loss from medications like Ozempic.
The procedure is marketed as minimally invasive with immediate results and little downtime.
Ethical questions arise regarding donor consent and the 'Swiftian' nature of using cadaver tissue for aesthetic purposes.
Concerns include potential health risks, complications with medical screenings (e.g., mammograms), and the high cost of Alloclae.
Despite the controversy, similar allogeneic tissues are widely used in reconstructive and sports medicine.
Alloclae has potential applications beyond cosmetic enhancements, including reconstructive surgery and scar treatment.
