Hand Fat Transfer for Rejuvenation

Hand Fat Transfer for Rejuvenation is an innovative cosmetic procedure designed to restore youthful volume and appearance to aging hands. As we age, our hands lose fat and collagen, causing veins, tendons, and bones to become more visible. This procedure uses your body's own fat to replenish lost volume, creating smoother, more youthful-looking hands.

At Neoderma Clinica, our hand rejuvenation procedure involves harvesting fat from areas where you have excess (typically the abdomen, thighs, or flanks), processing it, and then carefully injecting it into strategic areas of the hands. This autologous fat transfer not only adds volume but also improves skin quality over time through the regenerative properties of the fat cells.

The procedure offers natural-looking results with minimal downtime. Since we use your own fat, there's no risk of allergic reaction, and the results can be long-lasting. Hand fat transfer is often combined with other rejuvenation techniques such as laser treatments or chemical peels to address skin texture and pigmentation issues for comprehensive hand rejuvenation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hand fat transfer results can be long-lasting, often persisting for several years. Initially, some of the transferred fat will be reabsorbed by the body (typically 20-40%), which is why we often slightly overfill during the procedure. The fat that remains after the initial healing period (about 3 months) tends to be permanent. However, the natural aging process continues, so you may notice gradual changes over time. Some patients choose to have a touch-up procedure after a few years to maintain optimal results. The longevity of results also depends on factors like your metabolism, lifestyle, and how well you protect your hands from sun damage.

Hand fat transfer is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure. You may feel some pressure during the fat harvesting and injection phases, but significant pain is rare. After the procedure, most patients experience mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising at both the donor site and in the hands. This discomfort is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain medication and usually subsides within a few days. Cold compresses can help reduce swelling, and we provide detailed post-procedure care instructions to ensure your comfort during recovery. Most patients find the recovery process quite tolerable and are able to return to light activities within 1-2 days.

Ideal candidates for hand fat transfer are individuals who have visible signs of hand aging, including prominent veins, tendons, and bones due to volume loss. You should be in good general health, have realistic expectations about the results, and have sufficient fat deposits in donor areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. This procedure is particularly beneficial for those who feel their hands make them look older than they feel or for those who want their hands to match their rejuvenated facial appearance. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your hands and donor sites to determine if you're a suitable candidate and discuss what results you can expect based on your unique anatomy.

Yes, hand fat transfer can be effectively combined with other treatments for comprehensive hand rejuvenation. While fat transfer addresses volume loss, other concerns like skin texture, pigmentation, and fine lines may benefit from additional treatments. We often combine fat transfer with laser treatments to improve skin texture and reduce sun damage, chemical peels to address pigmentation issues, or dermal fillers for immediate results while waiting for the fat to establish. Some patients also benefit from PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy to enhance skin quality and accelerate healing. During your consultation, we'll assess all aspects of your hand aging and recommend a customized treatment plan that may include multiple complementary procedures for optimal results.
