Hand Fat Transfer

WHAT IS HAND FAT TRANSFER?

Hand fat transfer, also known as autologous fat grafting or fat injection, involves the transfer of fat from one part of the body to the hands. This procedure offers a natural and long-lasting solution to address volume loss, wrinkles, and prominent veins on the dorsal aspect of the hands. The process begins with harvesting fat cells from donor sites such as the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks through liposuction. The extracted fat is then meticulously processed and purified before being injected into targeted areas of the hands, sculpting and reshaping them to achieve desired outcomes. Hand fat transfer emerges as a solution to rejuvenate and revitalize the hands, restoring their youthful plumpness and vibrancy.

BENEFITS OF HAND FAT TRANSFER:

  • Natural Results: Unlike synthetic fillers, fat transfer utilizes the body's own tissue, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions or rejection. The transferred fat integrates seamlessly with existing tissue, providing natural-looking results.
  • Longevity: While traditional dermal fillers may require frequent touch-ups, fat transfer offers enduring results. Once the transferred fat establishes blood supply, it becomes a permanent part of the hand's anatomy, aging gracefully along with the patient.
  • Customization: Dr. Hirra Alavi's expertise lies in her ability to tailor each procedure to the unique anatomy and aesthetic goals of her patients. Whether addressing volume loss, prominent veins, or wrinkles, she applies her artistic eye and surgical finesse to achieve harmonious outcomes.

THE PROCEDURE:

Hand fat transfer is performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours to complete. To begin, Dr. Hirra Alavi harvests fat from the donor site using liposuction techniques. The harvested fat is then processed and purified to isolate healthy fat cells. Finally, the purified fat is carefully injected into the hands to restore volume and rejuvenate the skin.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS:

Following hand fat transfer, patients may experience mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which typically subside within 1-2 weeks. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and to keep their hands elevated to minimize swelling. As the swelling resolves, patients will begin to see the full results of their hand fat transfer, enjoying smoother, fuller, and more youthful-looking hands.
