Sandra*, una abogada especializada en medios de comunicación y residente en Los Ángeles, llevaba años considerando aumentarse el busto —desde que tenía veintitantos—, pero siempre la disuadían el dolor del procedimiento, el largo periodo de recuperación y la idea de llevar “una especie de bolsa de material extraño en el cuerpo”.

Por eso cuando Sandra, que quiere proteger su identidad por motivos de privacidad, oyó hablar el verano pasado de un nuevo producto inyectable para el contorno corporal, se sintió intrigada. Sin rellenos sintéticos, sin bolsas implantadas y sin tiempo de inactividad.

“Llegas a cierta edad y decides: ‘Voy a hacer algo por mí misma en este momento’”, comentó. El producto que descubrió —alloClae, que se pronuncia allo-clay, como la arcilla terrosa para esculpir— es de rápida aplicación. La inyección suele durar menos de una hora y no requiere anestesia general ni entorno hospitalario. Además, las instrucciones de cuidados posteriores fueron, según Sandra, “sorprendentemente sencillas”. El hecho de que alloClae utilice grasa extraída de cuerpos donados —o cadáveres, como se les denomina en la comunidad científica— no supuso ningún problema para ella. “Me pareció bien”, afirmó.

Cada vez más personas en Estados Unidos parecen opinar lo mismo. Tiger Aesthetics, la empresa fabricante de alloClae, informó que más de 2.000 pacientes han recibido el tratamiento desde mayo de 2025. Es un tema que genera gran interés en un popular foro de cirugía plástica de Reddit, donde los posibles pacientes hacen preguntas, buscan opiniones e intercambian recomendaciones de médicos.

En 2026, resulta evidente que lo que antaño se habría clasificado como modificación corporal hoy se percibe simplemente como mantenimiento del cuerpo. Nunca había sido tan fácil —ni tan cotidiano— alterar drásticamente la propia apariencia física. Remodelación de costillas. Blefaroplastia superior. Blefaroplastia inferior. Lifting facial medio. Lifting facial inferior. Lifting facial de plano profundo. A medida que la ciencia y las técnicas quirúrgicas avanzan sin cesar, también crece nuestro deseo de lucir nuevas curvas, una piel más tersa y una mandíbula más definida.

AlloClae —uno de los productos más innovadores de esta categoría— es el último recordatorio de esta tendencia. Sin embargo, por cada clínica de cirugía plástica que califica este producto inyectable como un avance de “nueva generación”, hay un número equivalente de titulares que lo tildan de “relleno zombi” o “inyecciones de cadáver”.

Si existe un límite en la búsqueda de la imagen perfecta, ¿acaso nos estamos topando finalmente con él? ¿Qué implica que la sociedad acepte mayoritariamente inyectarse grasa de cadáveres en nombre de la belleza? ¿Podría alloClae llegar a ser tan común como el bótox?

Al final, tu opinión sobre alloClae podría depender de tu opinión sobre la muerte.

AlloClae fue lanzado inicialmente en EE.UU. en 2024 para cirujanos plásticos certificados con experiencia en el manejo de grasa y, desde enero, se ha extendido a un grupo más amplio de profesionales, incluidos los llamados “proveedores de nivel intermedio” (como asistentes médicos, enfermeros de práctica avanzada y enfermeros especialistas en estética). (Tiger Aesthetics señaló que capacita a enfermeros de práctica avanzada —quienes no tienen autorización para realizar inyecciones en los senos— en una técnica de inyección específica).

El Dr. Luis Macias, cirujano plástico de Los Ángeles con doble certificación y uno de los pocos médicos que recibió alloClae en una etapa temprana, ha sido testigo directo de la creciente popularidad del producto. “Tengo que comprar muchas jeringas a la vez y hablar constantemente con el representante al respecto”, comentó en una entrevista telefónica. “Siento que hablo con mi concesionario de Porsche… Es algo absurdo”.

(CNN) — What started as a yearly trip for a grandfather and his grandson turned into a visit to a Montana hospital after a bison attack at Yellowstone National Park.

Carl McDaniel, 65, was hospitalized with a broken femur after a bison charged and tossed him into the air Friday evening at the park’s Bridge Bay Campground, according to McDaniel and the National Park Service.

He was visiting the park with his 13-year-old grandson when they decided to take a walk after dinner.

Along the way, they encountered a large bison that appeared to be rolling around in the dust and was not bothering anyone, McDaniel told CNN.

“We were about a hundred yards away,” McDaniel said. “He was not aggressive; he was not having problems and we took some pictures and decided to walk on.”

McDaniel and his grandson snapped a quick photo and continued with their walk, video of the encounter shows. At the same time, a truck drove by, and the driver laid on his horn in what appeared to be an attempt to get the bison to move, McDaniel said. There is no audio on the video.

The bison then appeared to become agitated and began running toward the pair.

“There was little time to decide what to do. At that point, he was within 100 yards; he could be to us in seconds, so I told my grandson to run in one direction and I went the other to try and draw him away,” McDaniel said.

The animal then pushed McDaniel with the top of its head, sending him flying into the air before he hit the ground, the grandfather said.

“When I was on the ground immobile, unable to move, he was right on top of me. He could have stomped on me, he could have gored me, he could have done almost anything to take my life, and he did not do so,” McDaniel said.

After McDaniel hit the ground, photographer Mike MacLeod, who captured the encounter on video, had to step in, he told Cowboy State Daily.

“I was really afraid he was going to gore the guy on the ground, so I stopped videotaping and ran at the bison, yelled loud, and was trying to be as big and intimidating as possible,” MacLeod said.

After the bison took off, people rushed over to McDaniel, who was in a lot of pain, MacLeod told Cowboy State Daily. Yellowstone EMS arrived soon after, he said.

“Park emergency medical personnel responded and transported him to a nearby hospital,” the National Park Service said in confirming the incident in a statement to CNN.

This is the second bison attack at Yellowstone this year. A 12-year-old was injured near Mud Volcano on June 26, according to the agency.

After Friday’s attack, “all the people that were there were amazing; they were all positive, they were trying to help as best they could,” McDaniel said. A nurse started tending to his leg, while another bystander held his head.

He was then transferred to a hospital in Bozeman, a two-hour journey during which he was in intense pain. He said he was grateful for the paramedic who helped him along the way.

McDaniel broke his femur, the body’s strongest bone, in four places near his hip and suffered several bruises. He had surgery Sunday and could stand by Monday.

“I will be doing physical therapy for the next few days to get to walk, but it was not as catastrophic as it could have been,” McDaniel said.
