Fat Injections: the New Trend

Injecting fat into the skin as part of a cosmetic procedure is nothing new. After all, fat is the best material to augment soft tissue, as it creates the most natural-looking end result. That being said, injecting large amounts of fat into one area has always been problematic. Because these new deposits of fat are too large to establish their own blood supplies, procedures relying on fat injections offered only a temporary solution for most patients.

A new technique called microfat grafting might just solve this problem. In microfat grafting, tiny amounts of fat are injected in a series of layers; this allows surrounding blood vessels to grow into the new fat. Because of this growth, we are able to achieve permanent or near-permanent results for patients seeking facial improvements and enhancements.

Although microfat grafting requires special expertise, patience, and precision on the part of the plastic surgeon, you may find that the results are worth it.

If you live in or near Chicago and wish to schedule a private consultation with Dr. Placik, please send us an email or call us at (847) 398-1660.
