Herndon – October 05, 2026 -- Patients who shed significant weight on GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic often lose fat from the buttocks and hands faster than anywhere else, leaving too little tissue to harvest for traditional fat grafting. Dr. Amir Mahan Ghaznavi of AMG Plastic Surgery in Herndon, Virginia, is now offering an alternative: alloClae, a donor-derived structural adipose tissue product placed directly into the body without liposuction.

The procedure skips the operating room entirely

Unlike autologous fat grafting, which requires harvesting a patient's own fat through liposuction, alloClae arrives ready for placement. Dr. Ghaznavi injects it in his office under local anesthesia -- no donor site, no general anesthesia. Most patients return to desk work within one to two days.

New York – September 18, 2026 -- Hublot and artist Jeff Koons have launched a joint collection anchored by the MP-14 Origin, a $limited-edition 30-piece watch built to mechanically evoke the birth of the universe, alongside a second model called the Classic Fusion Balloon Dog.

The MP-14 Origin introduces Hublot's first automatic central tourbillon, a technical first for the manufacture, housed inside a 44mm octagonal case made of sapphire and titanium.

The sapphire case alone takes 534 hours to machine

The transparent octagonal box is paired with a titanium case back and Hublot's signature "ears" at 3 and 9 o'clock. Beneath a sapphire dome coated by hand in translucent blue varnish, concentric white-gold rings set with baguette-cut diamonds and blue sapphires form orbital layers converging on the hidden central tourbillon.
