Bring a Youthful Appearance to Hands

Hand rejuvenation with fat grafting, also known as autologous fat transfer, is a cosmetic procedure designed to restore a youthful and rejuvenated appearance to the hands. As we age, the skin on our hands loses volume and elasticity, causing prominent veins, tendons, and a more bony appearance. Fat grafting for hand rejuvenation addresses these concerns, enhancing the aesthetics and restoring fullness to the hands.

How Hand Rejuvenation with Fat Grafting Works:

• Consultation: The process begins with a consultation at Gem City Hand and Microsurgeons with our board-certified plastic hand & microsurgeons. During the consultation, we’ll discuss your aesthetic goals, and our surgeon will evaluate your hands to determine if you’re a good candidate for fat grafting.
  
  
• Harvesting Fat: To perform the procedure, our surgeons will harvest fat from a donor area on your body, typically areas like the abdomen or thighs, using liposuction techniques. This fat is then carefully extracted for use in the procedure.
  
  
• Purification and Processing: After the fat is harvested, it undergoes purification to remove impurities and excess fluids, leaving only healthy fat cells, which are then prepared for injection into the hands.
  
  
• Injection: Using a fine cannula, Dr. Wimalawansa will inject the purified fat into targeted areas of the hands, where volume and fullness are needed. The injections are placed in the subcutaneous tissue beneath the skin to restore a natural, youthful contour.
  
  
• Sculpting: Our surgeon will carefully sculpt the injected fat to achieve the desired shape and volume, ensuring a smooth and aesthetically pleasing result.
  
  
• Recovery: After the procedure, you may experience temporary swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. These side effects are generally short-lived. You’ll be advised to rest and avoid strenuous activities during the initial healing period.
  
  

Long-Lasting Results of Hand Rejuvenation with Fat Grafting

The results of fat grafting hand rejuvenation can last for several years, although some fat may be reabsorbed by the body over time. To maintain the desired outcome, additional touch-up sessions may be needed.

This procedure has the advantage of using your own tissue (autologous fat), reducing the risk of allergic reactions or rejection. Hand rejuvenation with fat grafting effectively restores volume, smooths out the skin, and gives the hands a more youthful, natural look with minimal scarring.
