Hand Rejuvenation with Fat Injection

The changes that occur as a result of aging are seen in the hands as well as the face. There has been an increasing interest in hand rejuvenation in recent years because the hands are the most visible areas of the body after the face and neck. Potential changes as a result of aging include age spots, soft tissue loss and wrinkles, thin translucent skin and volume loss resulting in more visible veins, tendons and bones.

Treatment options to improve the appearance of the aging hand include chemical peels, laser treatment, sclerotherapy, dermal fillers and autologous fat transfer. Autologous fat transfer (AFT), also known as lipofilling or fat grafting, is a frequently used treatment.

Fat injection (fat filling) both corrects the decreased volume and provides fullness and rejuvenates the skin thanks to the SVFs in it. In hand rejuvenation treatment, fat injection is the ideal treatment. Because it is biocompatible and durable. In the last decade, many reports have been published on fat injection for hand rejuvenation and the results are very successful.
