Introduction to Hand Rejuvenation

The hands can often develop lines and wrinkles faster than the rest of the body, which is why hand rejuvenation has become an extremely popular procedure. There are several reasons why patients might want to address aging in the hands, namely that the hands do not match their stated age or appearance. If you are interested in hand rejuvenation in Chicago, consider scheduling a consultation with dual board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Ogilvie.

What is Hand Rejuvenation?

Hand rejuvenation can address signs of aging in various ways. After all, aging will manifest in unique ways depending on the patient, so hand rejuvenation approaches are tailored to each patient’s physiology and desired outcome.

Depending on the nature of the signs of aging on your hands, surgical and nonsurgical hand rejuvenation options may be available for patients. Surgical options will usually involve a fat transfer or fat grafting, meaning good hand rejuvenation candidates would have sufficient body fat to support the use of donor material.

During your consultation, you’ll be able to discuss the hand rejuvenation process in detail and ask any questions about the process. Dr. Ogilvie will ask you about your health history, aesthetic goals, target areas of concern, and any expectations you might have. He will then examine you and, based on your skin laxity and volume, share the various surgical and non-surgical techniques with their associated risk-benefit analysis. Once he deems you an appropriate candidate for the procedure, he will draft a treatment plan, which you can take to a patient coordinator for pricing and scheduling.

What to Expect on the Day of Hand Rejuvenation Surgery

On the day of your hand rejuvenation in Chicago, Dr. Ogilvie and his friendly staff will receive you and make sure you are comfortably set up in a procedure room. He will then review your treatment plan again to ensure there aren’t any outlying questions and concerns. Finally, depending on the technique you choose, your procedure will go as follows.

Hand Rejuvenation with Fat Transfer

Hand rejuvenation procedures can be either surgical or nonsurgical. Surgical hand rejuvenation involving liposuction is performed on an outpatient basis. Nonsurgical hand rejuvenation involving dermal fillers or lasers may be performed in our Chicago area office.

Hand Rejuvenation with Fat Transfer: A fat transfer is designed to make the skin of the hands appear thicker, smoother, and more youthful. It uses liposuction to collect donor material.

Hand Rejuvenation with Dermal Fillers

Nonsurgical hand rejuvenation relies on the use of dermal filler injections to accomplish similar results. The filler increases the volume beneath the hands’ skin, eliminating wrinkles and making the skin appear thicker, fuller, and healthier. Results from fillers will typically last anywhere between 12 and 18 months, depending on the brand of filler. However, no downtime is associated with filler injections and normal activity can usually be resumed immediately.

Hand Rejuvenation Recovery

There is little to no downtime for recovery after non-surgical hand rejuvenation. Minor swelling, bruising, and tenderness might occur, but those 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.

For the surgical fat transfer hand rejuvenation option, recovery can take several weeks due to swelling from the liposuction. Once the swelling subsides, patients will notice that they look slimmer in one area and that their hands look more radiant and youthful. Results from a fat transfer hand rejuvenation are effectively permanent.
