Hand Rejuvenation

HAND REJUVENATION in Sarasota

Through the natural aging process, the hands can lose volume and elasticity. This results in a thinner, bony appearance with the addition of fine lines and wrinkles. At Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center, our skilled plastic surgeons offer hand rejuvenation procedures through the use of volume replacement with either fat grafting or injectable fillers for a more youthful appearance. These procedures can also be combined with skin rejuvenating treatments to address age and sunspots. With both fat transfer and injectable fillers, volume is restored to the hands to reduce the appearance of skin laxity, prominent veins, and wrinkles that occur as we age. To learn more about the hand rejuvenation treatments we offer, contact our Sarasota, FL facility to schedule your initial consultation.

TYPES OF HAND REJUVENATION

Injectable Fillers

Injectable fillers can be used to replace the lost volume in the back of the hand and decrease the visibility of the veins and tendons. At our practice, Radiesse® is the most commonly used filler to effectively rejuvenate the hands and restore fullness. The formula stimulates collagen production, reducing lines and wrinkles, increasing volume, and addressing uneven skin texture that often comes with aging hands. During your consultation, your Sarasota plastic surgeon will determine the best filler to achieve your desired results.

Injectable Fat Transfer

A fat transfer is an excellent option to replace the lost volume in the back of the hand. The fat is taken by liposuction from an area of the body, typically the abdomen or waist, before being processed and transferred directly into the hand via a sterile syringe. The fat is a living filler, so it has the potential to last longer than commercial injectable fillers. Further, it is the most natural product as you are the source.

Hand Rejuvenation: What to Expect

Hand rejuvenation uses a combination of different procedures, including injectable fillers and fat transfer. The procedures are customized to your individual needs during your initial consultation at our Sarasota facility.

A hand rejuvenation treatment is considered an outpatient procedure. Many patients are able to return to their usual activities immediately, but fat transfer patients should avoid strenuous exercise for 7 – 10 days to allow for proper healing. Redness, swelling, bruising, and/or itching are normal symptoms, but these should subside in a few days. Any discomfort can be eased with pain medication, and a cold compress can help reduce swelling. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your recovery process, please call our office.

Injectable Fillers

A numbing cream is first applied to the skin and the injectable filler is then injected into the back of your hand and fingers. Typically, two syringes of product are required for each hand. The entire treatment only takes about ten minutes to complete.

Fat Transfer

With a fat transfer, fat is first removed via liposuction from the abdomen, hips, or flanks and is then purified. The harvesting portion may be done under local anesthesia or twilight sedation. Once the fat is processed, it is injected into the back of the hand through a 2mm incision at the base of the wrist.
