FAT TRANSFER HAND REJUVENATION

Over time the subcutaneous thickness of hands diminishes. Own fat transfer (lipotransfer, lipografting, fatgrafting, lipofilling) is a surgical proceedure used to improve the cosmetic look of patients’ hands. During the procedure, a small amount of fat is harvested by liposuction (usually from the area of the lower abdomen and thighs) into syringes, then filtered (purified) and injected into the subcutaneous area of the back of hands by thin cannulas to cover subcutaneous structures (bones, tendons, vessels) without visible scars. As part of fat transferred is subsequently absorbed by the body; a final satisfactory result often requires the repetition of the treatment.
