Introduction to Hand Rejuvenation

People are so busy rejuvenating their face and other body assets that sometimes they forget that their hands are the real tell-tale of their age. Our hands age just like our face does. They lose fat and volume over time, and our skin becomes looser and thinner. This leads to a sagging, bony appearance full of wrinkles. Hand rejuvenation can address the sagging, wrinkly hands, firming them up and turning the clock back a few years.

FAT TRANSFER

Fat transfer, as the name implies, is the transfer of fat cells from other parts of the body to your hands.

This helps to plump the tissues in your hands and m

Hand Rejuvenation First Step

What’s The First Step?

The first step for Hand Rejuvenation in the greater Los Angeles area is to schedule a one-on-one consultation with one of our board-certified experts at Premier Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa. Your provider will meet with you and discuss your medical history, aesthetic goals, and expectations and will carry out a physical exam of your hands to determine the best technique for you. Sometimes, it may even be a combination of techniques that are recommended to you. Either way, your provider will give you a detailed explanation of what you can expect during and after the procedure so there will be no surprises at any point.

Once your provider comes up with a surgical plan, you can take that to our patient coordinator who can schedule your procedure right away or for a time that is more convenient for you.

If you decide to get a Dermal Filler for instance, right away, it will be a quick and nearly painless procedure that will leave your hands looking youthful and plump before you walk out the door with minimal recovery and results lasting 6-12 months.

What to Expect on the Day of Hand Rejuvenation Procedure

On the day of your Hand Rejuvenation in Arcadia, you will be welcomed by your provider and their friendly staff. They will go over the procedure plan once more in case you have any further questions and/or concerns and then, depending on what technique is being used, and will either administer local or twilight anesthesia for the procedure.

The Dermal Filler procedure will entail your provider injecting the filler into pre-discussed target areas of the hands and massaging it into the optimal spot.

The Fat Transfer procedure will entail Liposuction from a pre-discussed target area of your body, fat cell cleaning, and processing, and then re-injection into the hands.

Hand Rejuvenation Recovery

Being that hand rejuvenation is a minimally invasive, non-surgical cosmetic procedure, there is little to no downtime for recovery. There might be minor swelling, bruising, and tenderness but that will abate a few days after the procedure. Patients who come in for hand rejuvenation can resume their work and other activities right after the procedure.
