Abstract
Dermal atrophy, bulging reticular veins, and prominent bones and tendons are characteristic of the aging hand. Demand for cosmetic procedures to restore a youthful appearance to the dorsum of the hand has risen in recent years. A review of the literature reveals that of the many options for hand restoration, autologous fat grafting stands out as the most promising choice compared with many available alternative options such as microdermabrasion, peeling agents, and dermal fillers. This article details the surgical technique and relevant anatomy necessary for successful hand rejuvenation. Future advancements may rely on further study into adipose-derived stem cells.Entities:
