Yes, you will be able to use your hands after a fat transfer. Restrictions are relatively minimal, with only gauze wrap required on the hands for the first few weeks after treatment.

Because AirSculpt® is minimally invasive, recovery is much quicker than with traditional liposuction-based fat transfers. Most patients return to normal activities, including work, playing instruments, or light cardio, within 48 hours. Beyond that point, restrictions are relatively minimal for hand rejuvenation patients, with gauze wrap being the primary requirement for the first few weeks after treatment. Strenuous exercise and activities that could interfere with the gauze wrap should be avoided for at least two weeks.

Fat removed during an AirSculpt® session is permanently removed and will not come back to that body part. If you gain weight after your procedure, the fat will appear anywhere but the treated area, so your new proportions tend to be preserved even in this scenario. We, therefore, recommend a healthy diet and exercise following your AirSculpt® treatment. 

Regarding the area that was enhanced during an AirSculpt fat transfer, results will be permanent after the initial reabsorption that ensues any natural fat graft. Dramatic weight fluctuations can also affect results, although newly achieved proportions should remain relatively intact.

By grafting fat in precise quantities, an AirSculpt hand rejuvenation will help plump up hands that are either naturally skinny or have lost volume over time.
