FAT GRAFTING

Fat grafting is designed to augment areas of volume loss that naturally occur with age. Normal facial aging results in progressive soft tissue volume loss, mostly in the form of youthful fat that breaks down over time. As the fat diminishes, skin begins to sag, causing wrinkles, creases and folds. Volume is typically lost in the temple area, the eyebrows and eyelids, the cheeks, the lips, and the jaw-line. In order to achieve natural and balanced facial rejuvenation results, the lost volume must be replenished. Fat grating is a technique used to artistically transfer fat and restore volume loss. We strive to deliver the best fat grafting Chicago has to offer! Volumetric fat grafting is a specific technique used by Dr David Shifrin alone or in combination with a facelift and is a very important component in achieving a more youthful facial appearance.
