Fat Grafting

Fat Grafting fills facial features with a patient's own fat. The fat is extracted from another part of your body like the abdomen or thighs and injected into another area that requires augmentation.
The advantage of fat grafting is that the fat comes from your own body, so you cannot develop an allergic reaction unlike other external implant substances that are introduced into the body.
