The short answer
Fat Transfer to Hands moves a patient's own fat beneath the skin of the hands to restore volume and soften visible contours. It may suit patients with hand volume loss and suitable donor fat. Patients across the Denver metro begin with an in-person evaluation before any plan is confirmed.
Overview
What is Fat Transfer to Hands?
Fat transfer to the hands is a procedure designed to restore volume and improve the appearance of aging hands. As we age, the skin on our hands becomes thinner, and veins and tendons become more prominent. The procedure begins with liposuction to harvest fat. The fat is then purified, and then re-injected into the hands to restore a fuller, more youthful look.
Fat transfer to the hands helps smooth out wrinkles, reduce the appearance of veins, and create a more plump, rejuvenated appearance. This procedure can also be performed under awake local anesthesia, providing a more comfortable experience with quicker recovery and reduced post-operative nausea. It is ideal for individuals who want to address signs of aging in the hands without the need for implants or synthetic materials. Recovery is minimal, and the results are natural and long-lasting, with little to no risk of allergic reactions.
