In a groundbreaking advancement for regenerative aesthetics, Dr. Otto J. Placik, a nationally recognized board-certified plastic surgeon, has become the first Illinois board-certified plastic surgeon to perform the AlloClae treatment, the revolutionary AlloClae structural adipose filler designed to restore natural volume and redefine body contouring. On August 4, 2025, Dr. Placik successfully performed the procedure on a patient seeking enhancement of the hip and buttock region who did not have sufficient fat for traditional fat transfer. This milestone makes Dr. Placik the first and only board-certified plastic surgeon in Chicago, Illinois, USA to introduce AlloClaeChicago to patients, marking a new era of safe, effective, and natural Skin Rejuvenation Chicago treatments. 'AlloClae ushers in a whole new era of body contouring options for people seeking natural tissues rather than foreign fillers,' said Dr. Otto Placik, known as one of America's top board-certified plastic surgeons in Chicago. 'It provides patients with innovative alternatives that look and feel authentic.' What Is AlloClae? Developed by Tiger Aesthetics, AlloClae is the first structural adipose filler specifically engineered for aesthetic procedures. Using a proprietary five-step refinement and sterilization process, AlloClae preserves the natural proteins, collagen, and growth factors found in adipose tissue. This allows it to provide long-lasting skin tightening innovation, volume restoration, and natural body contouring, without liposuction or surgical fat grafting. Delivered in ready-to-use 12.5cc and 25cc configurations, AlloClae is FDA-cleared, packaged sterile, and available for in-office use. It is also part of Tiger Aesthetics' larger strategy to launch a new category of regenerative treatments, including DermaClae, that redefine skin care innovation in the U.S. Dr. Placik ' s Leadership in Pioneering Procedures Recognized as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor, award-winning surgeon, and rated Top Doc, Dr. Placik has built a reputation for pioneering procedures in fat transfer. He was among the first surgeons in the Midwest to adopt fat grafting to the breast and has performed thousands of transfers to the hips, buttocks, face, and even cosmetic gynecological areas. His expertise made him the clear leader to introduce AlloClae Facial, AlloClae Glow, and AlloClae Expert applications for patients seeking natural, minimally invasive alternatives. 'This treatment expands the range of options available to patients who previously could not undergo procedures like a Brazilian Butt Lift,' Dr. Placik explained. 'AlloClae is a game-changer, especially for individuals seeking a 'skinny BBL' without sufficient donor fat.' National Innovation, Local Impact Tiger Aesthetics recently announced a $50 million investment in a state-of-the-art Wisconsin facility to support production of AlloClae and its portfolio of regenerative products. By bringing this technology to Illinois, Dr. Placik ensures that patients in the Chicagoland area have access to the most advanced, U.S.-manufactured, natural solutions in the market.

‘Potentially disease ridden' bushmeat stopped at Detroit Metro Airport
Bushmeat intercepted at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. (Source: U.S. Customs and Border Protection) **WARNING: This article contains images that some readers may find disturbing. Reader's discretion is advised** U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have stopped 'potentially disease ridden' bushmeat twice in one week at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. ADVERTISEMENT The incident took place last month. CBP said bushmeat is meat from wild animals, which can include bats, non-human primates, and cane rats from certain regions. It's illegal to import into the U.S. and poses a significant disease risk. 'These recent bushmeat interceptions are significant in bringing attention to the illegal importation of bushmeat through our ports of entry,' said Fadia Pastilong, port director. 'This also showcases how we work with our partner agencies to prevent a potential disease outbreak.' The meat was seized and turned over to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Each traveller was fined $300 for undeclared agricultural items. CBP said rodent-type bushmeat interceptions are sporadic at Detroit Metropolitan Airport, but primate interceptions are much rarer. Bushmeat is considered a cultural delicacy and often consumed raw, or with minimal processing, which can increase disease. That includes ebola, mpox, and other emerging diseases. 'We routinely find various agriculture items and oddities – live giant snails, animal skills, and exotic food items – but most times it's not a malicious act,' said Marty C. Raybon, director of field operations. 'Despite this, it's our duty to protect the homeland and preventing certain food and animal products from entering the U.S. is essential to public health.'
