Fat Transfer in Chicago, IL
What Is A Fat Transfer?
When a man or woman gains and loses weight or moves through the normal aging process, it's common for parts of the body to lose volume, taking on a saggy or flabby look. One way to regain this lost volume is through a cosmetic treatment known as fat grafting (or a fat transfer). A fat transfer removes fat from an area of the body where you don't want it and transfers it into another area that could benefit from additional volume. A fat transfer can be performed on large areas, such as the breasts or buttocks, or on delicate features, such as the lower eyelid, cheeks, or lips. Fat grafting and transfers are often ideal when a patient is looking for a natural enhancement rather than having fillers or implants. Dr. Lawrence Iteld uses the most effective liposuction and grafting methods for performing fat transfers. This body contouring treatment at Iteld Plastic Surgery creates gorgeous, soft outcomes. To learn how fat grafting can help give your body the shape you desire, schedule a private consultation at our Chicago, IL aesthetic practice.
How Does A Fat Transfer Work?
Fat transfer surgery at Iteld Plastic Surgery is performed with narcotics-free medication for your comfort and safety. The procedure involves three stages. First, Dr. Iteld will extract fat from your body using liposuction. Once it's removed, it will be purified to remove any broken cells and other fluids, ensuring only the highest quality fat remains. After preparing the injection site, the extracted fat will be transferred into the area that needs volume — the most common targets for fat transfer include the breasts, butt, hips, and face, though other areas can be treated, as well. This injection is performed in layers until the desired outcome has been attained. For some areas, numerous injections will be needed. The end result should look and feel natural.
What Are the Benefits of A Fat Transfer?

Iteld Plastic Surgery Reviews
The entire staff here was so amazing, I cannot recommend them enough! I had top surgery with Dr. Iteld and he, and the entire staff, were extremely welcoming, kind, and so supportive every step of the way. They are extremely affirming and take the time to make sure you have all your questions answered and feel comfortable. I had never had any surgery before and everyone at this location made me feel so at ease. And my results are AMAZING! I am so grateful to Dr. Iteld and his entire team for going above and beyond to help me through this process and for giving me a chest that I love! I truly cannot thank everyone enough for what they have given me.
I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Iteld and I absolutely love my results. He and his team were so kind, professional, thorough, and informative. I was a little nervous of course about surgery, but they made me feel very comfortable and confident in my decision. Recovery with no narcotics was so easy. I was surprised at how good I felt after surgery. Everything healed up perfectly and I’m so happy I went with him. I’d highly recommend him!
I had top-surgery done by Dr. Iteld and could not be happier with the results! He is a rockstar. I had a double incision with free nipple grafts and everything has healed so well. Dr. Iteld and the professionals working with him were extremely helpful, supportive, and kind throughout this entire process. They are quick to respond to questions and concerns, and genuinely care about what you are looking to get out of their services. I felt listened to and cared for while in their hands. Could not recommend Dr. Iteld enough!
i had a great experience with Dr. Iteld and his office! Everyone was kind and helpful, my experience was smooth and as easy as i can imagine a surgery being! Thank you!
275cc, mods, overs, 35 y/o, 125lbs, 5'5, 2 kids, 32A - A long time coming, the goal being to look proportionate and go from an A to a small C at the most. It’s more so about the look than the final cup size though! I have forever desired boobs, since I was a teenager! Just never happened for me. Dr. Iteld’s team was great and patient with me. I was eternally toying between 250, 275, 295 cc (with the understanding that what they put into your bod is roughly 25 cc more than the sizer you select). Ended up with a 275 cc implant, moderate profile, Allergan brand gel. The recovery has been crazy smooth. I feel great, out walking around but being very careful. I went out to dinner the night after the surgery, guys! Just be smart. Don’t overdo it. No one wants to end up back in the OR. CANNOT wait to see how these drop and look long term!Updated on 4 Mar 2024:Crazy to already notice a difference from day 1 to day 4 post op! I think these will be EXACTLY what I was looking for once they settle. Wish I could hit fast forward for a month. Still no pain. If anything this dang bra is the itchy and annoying part. Just by the straps due to the fabric weaving. I’m being VERY careful with my 2 and 4 year old. Definitely a challenge so make sure you have help constantly. Just remember it’s temporary!Updated on 7 Mar 2024:Day 7! My check-up is tomorrow! My left boob is a bit more swollen than the right, you can tell even the nipple is still puffy and a hair larger, while the right is responsive to the cold in this photo and not swollen. Super normal, not worried about it. You can see from the side photo that the “upper pole” of the breast looks a little less poofy as well as on the sides. Slow n steady!I can’t feel my nipples and the immediate area around, but each day I slowly get more feeling. Apparently this can take a few weeks. Overall still very happy with them and the healing process. Zero pain! Ready to get rid of this granny bra!
