What Is Facial Fat Grafting?
While dermal fillers are a great option for restoring volume, they aren't the only choice we offer for facial enhancement at Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery. Another popular solution we perform is facial fat grafting (or fat transfer), an innovative procedure that uses fat harvested from your body to minimize signs of aging and bring back some youthful plumpness to your features. With facial fat grafting, you can take years off of your face and remove unwanted fat in one convenient procedure. To learn more about how facial fat grafting can give you naturally fuller features, schedule a consultation at our plastic surgery practice in Chicago, IL today.
How Is Facial Fat Grafting Performed?
Facial fat transfer is a process involving two steps. First, our providers will remove stubborn fat from your flanks, hips, abdomen, or other parts of your body using liposuction. This will be done with twilight or local anesthesia for your safety and comfort. After removing the fat, we'll purify it before gently injecting it into targeted areas around your face to achieve your desired results. Popular targets for facial fat transfer include the cheeks, lips, and under the eyes. During your consultation, we'll determine if you're a candidate for facial fat grafting and discuss which areas of your face may benefit from this treatment at our Chicago, IL office.

Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Moradian performed an incredible job! He’s one of the sweetest and compassionate doctors/surgeons I’ve ever encountered. He made me feel incredibly comfortable and relieved, putting all my anxieties to rest. I underwent a transaxillary breast augmentation, and I’m thrilled with the results. All of my friends and family are blown away by my outcome. I have a new sense of confidence that has changed my life. While I was in my recovery room, Dr. Moradian not only took care of me but also spoke to my family and answered all their questions. He exudes a sense of safety and ensures that you receive the best possible outcomes. He took the time to personally check up on me and kindly encouraged me to reach out to him. Dr. Moradian genuinely cares about your concerns and takes the time to explain everything in detail. I am so fortunate to have found him!
Simon was phenomenal. I decided at age 16 to gauge my ears and stretched them far beyond the point of them closing on their own. I am getting married and wanted to be able to wear regular earrings for the first time in 20 years. Simon came to rescue after I was quoted waaaaay too much from another surgeon that basically wanted to cut my ears that day without letting them heal on their own and told me he could inject them with filler after they healed (like, WHAT?) Simon was so thorough and patient during our consultation and even more so during the actual procedure. He let my ears close naturally for a while to avoid removing too much tissue so they would look normal and healthy after they healed. EVERYONE is shocked (including me) that they look so good. You would never know that I had enormous holes in my ears for 20 years. 10/10 recommend for any procedure.
Dr. Schierle and his team are THE BEST!! I got breast augmentation on January 9th. It’s Perfect! Love my new look! I feel more confidence now than before. Thank you again for your best work.
Had DCF rhinoplasty with Dr. Schierle, Dr. Moradian, and Monica in Dec of 2024. Definitely THE best experience I had ! The consultation was personalized, you could tell they are some of the best surgeons in the game. I never had any surgeries, so I was very nervous. But they made the process so smooth. I loved the results so much. They kept my natural beauty and elevated the new nose to complement my face better. Even some of my close friends wanted to book a consultation with them after seeing my new nose! 100000/10 recommend!
Amazing experience with Robyn for all of my injection and skincare needs! The staff is amazing and highly skilled. The entire staff is super welcoming and warm. I always recommend to my friends and family!
