Where Can I Get a Minimally Invasive Hand Rejuvenation in San Diego?

The thin skin tissue on your hands can look old and wrinkled over time due to constant use and frequent exposure to sun and weather. If you are struggling with this problem, a fat transfer to the hands can easily and effectively restore your youthful appearance without extensive surgery.

Am I a Plausible Candidate For A Hand Fat Transfer?

One of the most effective ways to treat problems with the appearance of the hands is to rejuvenate them with a simple fat transfer. This procedure adds volume to the hands and significantly improves their appearance, effectively reversing the gradual loss of collagen that occurs with age. Most middle-aged patients are good candidates for a fat transfer to the hands.

You should be in somewhat good health to undergo the procedure, although it is by no means a major surgical procedure. You must have at least one donor site on your body with free fat cells that can be transferred. For most people, however, this is usually not a problem. 

Key Benefits of a Fat Transfer to the Hands

1. It restores the natural loss of fat and collagen with aging and exposure to the elements.
2. It uses your body fat as a filler, significantly reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
3. The procedure takes as little as 15 to 20 minutes
4. Results last for years.
5. Reduction of wrinkles, lines, and folds.
6. Correction of a sagging, veiny, "tendinous" appearance.
7. Patients achieve soft and supple hands.
8. More natural than commercial fillers
9. Easy combination of hand fat transfer with other fat transfer and skin tightening procedures.

What's Treated with a Hand Fat Transfer?

Fat transfer hand rejuvenations are performed for cosmetic reasons to help patients look and feel younger by making their hands look like they did when they were 20 or 30 years old. The procedure can also have significant health benefits: some report that their hands feel stronger, that their joints and knuckles hurt less than they used to, and that they have softer and smoother hands.

Hand fat transfers are straightforward, sometimes called micro lipo injections or autologous fat transfers. The process is quick and effective:

Liposuction involves quickly removing healthy fat from another body part (usually the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks).

1. This fat is then cleaned and prepared for transplantation.
2. Healthy fat is injected into the hand using a thin needle and cannula to restore areas that have lost vitality and volume.
3. More fat is injected than necessary to allow for the body's natural reabsorption of the injected fat (because the body will absorb a certain percentage, and we want you to look good when that happens).
4. The hands are massaged to ensure even fat distribution, which will achieve your original goals for the procedure and make your hands look healthier and more youthful.
5. Some patients find that their hands look 10-20 years younger after the procedure.
