PROCEDURE DETAILS
This involves liposuction to other areas of the body, preparing the fat removed for reinjection and then putting it just under the skin on the back of the hands to restore a more youthful appearance.
This can often be performed under local anaesthetic, but sometimes requires additional sedation or a general anaesthetic depending on the extent of surgery required. The procedure involves tiny scars, all less than 1cm each, both where the fat is harvested from and on the back of the hands where it is re-injected.
PROCEDURE TIMELINE
The whole operation lasts about 1-1.5 hours, though this can be extended to include additional liposuction to other areas if required.
The procedure is done as a day case. You can get in the shower to wash as soon as you like, but should avoid soaking your scars in water for prolonged periods during the first week or so such as deep baths or swimming.
