Facial Fat Grafting

Fat Grafting Under Eyes
Fat grafting under the eyes is a common procedure to address the hollowing that occurs with age beneath the eyes.

This hollowing is often accompanied by fine wrinkles and dark pigmentation. Fat injections under eyes will fill this hollowing, improve skin quality and help treat the darkness that is apparent with the hollowing.
