Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.

When we think about what we can do to look more youthful, we typically think first about our facial appearance. But when you greet a colleague, client, or friend? You shake hands.

Fat Grafting for Hand Rejuvenation

As we grow older, the top of the hand, also known as the dorsum, shows its age more often than patients like. In particular, the skin develops wrinkles and “age spots”. The fatty layer beneath the skin loses volume. These changes can make a patient feel self-conscious about the aged appearance of their hands.

A hand lift procedure can achieve lasting improvements that look and feel completely natural. This procedure involves fat injections using fat harvested with tiny cannulas, usually from the abdomen, that is purified and then injected into the dorsum of the hands.

Hand Lift Surgery and Recovery

A hand lift is performed under local anesthesia or intravenous sedation in about one hour. Patients leave our facility shortly afterward and usually recover rapidly. There is very little postoperative pain. Light activities can be started within a day or two following surgery. All sutures dissolve. Within two to three weeks, our clinicians will have you apply special creams nightly for several weeks to remove the age spots, completing the hand rejuvenation.
