Our patient is a White female in her 40s who weighed 136 lbs at the time of surgery and felt that loose, thinning skin on the backs of her hands made her veins look overly prominent and aged. As part of her arm transformation, Dr. Timothy Katzen performed fat transfer to the hands under general anesthesia to restore natural looking volume and create smoother, more youthful hand contours. The procedure began with VASER liposuction of the arms, gently harvesting a small amount of her own fat while helping refine the arm shape. The harvested fat was then carefully purified and prepared so only healthy, clean fat cells were used for transfer. Dr. Katzen then meticulously injected the refined fat into the back of each hand using tiny, precise passes, layering small amounts to fill hollow areas, soften crepey texture, and reduce the sharp appearance of visible veins and tendons without making the hands look puffy or unnatural. Because this is autologous fat grafting, the result is created with the patient’s own tissue, which can feel soft and natural and often provides longer lasting hand rejuvenation compared with many temporary fillers. Recovery typically involves mild swelling and bruising early on, along with protecting the hands from heavy gripping and pressure while the transferred fat integrates. Photos were taken four months after surgery, when the hands had time to fully settle, revealing smoother skin, improved fullness, and a refreshed appearance that complements her refined arms.

Our patient, a White female in her 40s, wanted her hands to look as refreshed as her arms. Loose, thinning skin on the backs of the hands can make veins and tendons stand out, creating an aged appearance even in an otherwise youthful person. For natural-looking hand rejuvenation, Dr. Timothy Katzen performed fat transfer to the hands under general anesthesia as part of her arm transformation. Using VASER liposuction, he gently harvested a small amount of fat from her arms, then purified it to remove extra fluid and concentrate healthy fat cells. Next came the artistry: the refined fat was placed with tiny injections across each hand in multiple passes, building a soft “padding” layer while keeping a feminine, natural contour. The entry points are small, and most patients describe early tightness and swelling rather than sharp pain. This autologous fat grafting approach helps camouflage prominent veins, smooth crepey skin, and restore volume where aging and sun exposure have thinned the tissues. After surgery, patients typically elevate their hands, avoid heavy gripping, and protect their skin from the sun while the graft settles and integrates. Not all transferred fat survives, which is why precise technique and conservative use early on matter. At four months after surgery, her hands show a fuller, smoother contour that better matches her arms, with remarkable, beautifully natural results that still look like her.
