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
I can’t say enough, what a great experience I had with Dr. Simon Moradian. His work is outstanding, he is caring, patient and kind. I had an upper blepharoplasty, it was easy, painless and I was back to playing tennis is 9 days (don’t tell him). If you are debating, don’t, it is a good thing. Dr. Moradian is a great doctor to trust and be under his care. Hope you are as fortunate as I was.
Dr. Fine is simply amazing! I started this journey full of fear and uncertainty, and came out thrilled with the result. I never expected that my breasts would look better post mastectomy and reconstructive surgery, then my natural ones yet here I am, staring in the mirror every day with awe. I am super thankful to Dr. Fine and his team: wonderful Barbara, Monika and Kat and all the beautiful ladies who welcomed me with smile every time. 5 stars!
I had surgery on my chin and the results are amazing. Dr. Moradian made things easy and painless. I 10/10 would recommend to anyone near the Chicagoland area looking for a good plastic surgeon.
Absolutely the best experience at Northwestern! Rachel is truly AMAZING, and I’m incredibly grateful for her patience and expertise at every visit. She takes the time to carefully assess my needs and consistently delivers results that look beautifully natural. Her precision and technique are unmatched, and I’m forever thankful for the confidence she’s given me. Rachel’s knowledge and understanding of her craft are evident—she knows exactly what’s needed for the best results. What truly sets Rachel apart is her commitment to enhancing natural beauty with a personalized touch. She never pushes unnecessary treatments and always offers honest, thoughtful recommendations that highlight my best features. I can’t recommend Rachel enough!!
When my smartwatch started showing blood oxygen levels below 90%, I knew I needed to do something about my blocked nasal passages. What was holding me back was finding a specialist who had a similar view of the balance between form and function. I knew I needed to breathe better but I also needed reassurances that my nose would not look the worse for it. It was my lucky day when I walked through the doors of the NSPSMEDSPA and met with Dr. Shierle. He was calm, funny, honest, and supportive. He understood and had explanations for my symptoms and options for solutions. His reassurances based on experience were thoughtful and on point. His depth of knowledge was beyond impressive. September 2024, Dr. Shierle performed my septoplasty. It has been life altering. My oxygen levels are solidly above 95%. My sleep the best it’s been in memory. And although it might be because I’m no longer scrunching it up to get air, my nose looks its best ever. I would be remiss if I did not also thank the NSPSMEDSPA staff. Appointments, insurance and paperwork were all taken care expertly and with a smile. Thank you everyone.
