FAT INJECTION TO HANDS

The hands are often the first area to betray our age. As we mature, the natural plumpness of the hands diminishes, revealing prominent veins, tendons, and wrinkles. This can be a source of self-consciousness for many individuals. Fortunately, advancements in cosmetic procedures offer solutions to restore a youthful and rejuvenated appearance to the hands.

For the past 20 years, our surgeons have been able to harvest autologous fat (one’s own fat) from another part of the body to the back of the hands to create more youthful contours once again. Usually, fat is taken from the abdomen or inner and outer thighs, prepared for reinjection. There is also the option of adding stem cells, which helps reduce fat reabsorption.

BENEFITS OF FAT INJECTIONS TO THE HANDS IN DUBAI

Fat transfer injections offer numerous benefits for those seeking to rejuvenate the appearance of their hands:

Natural-Looking Results: As your own body fat is used, the results appear natural and blend seamlessly with surrounding tissues.
Long-Lasting Effects: Fat transfer injections offer longer-lasting results compared to hyaluronic acid fillers, potentially lasting several years.
Improved Skin Quality: The injected fat cells can stimulate collagen production, leading to improved skin texture and elasticity.
Minimal Scarring: The cannulas used for fat harvesting and injection create minimal scarring, which typically fades over time.
Reduced Wrinkles and Veins: By restoring volume, the procedure diminishes the appearance of wrinkles and makes prominent veins less noticeable.

One of the great advantages is that the results are permanent, and there is no risk of rejection or allergic reaction as it is your body’s own product. This can also be done for the face, breast and other parts of the body.

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR FAT INJECTIONS TO THE HANDS?

Fat transfer injections for the hands can be a suitable option for individuals experiencing:

Volume Loss: Sun damage, aging, and weight fluctuations can cause the hands to lose volume, resulting in a sunken and aged appearance.
Wrinkles and Creases: Loss of collagen leads to the formation of wrinkles and creases on the hands.
Prominent Veins: Fat transfer can camouflage prominent veins on the hands, creating a smoother and more youthful appearance.
Good Overall Health: Being in good physical health with realistic expectations is crucial for optimal outcomes.

RECOVERY

Following the procedure, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the hands and the donor site. This typically resolves within a few days to a week. Here’s what to expect:

Post-operative Instructions: Our team will provide detailed instructions on pain management, wound care (if any), and activity restrictions.
Swelling and Bruising: These are common and usually subside within a week. Cold compresses can help manage swelling.

"As a long term client of Dr Maurizio, having his new base at Cornerstone in Grosvenor House has made my visits so much easier. He is the only person I will trust with my face!
Coupled with the addition of a family GP at the clinic, who I have now moved over too, having so many health and wellness services under one roof in my end of the city is wonderful"
