When it comes to ageing, most people focus on the face—but hands are often the first to reveal your true age. Despite maintaining youthful skin elsewhere, thinning, wrinkled hands with visible veins can give away signs of ageing.
At Chennai Plastic Surgery, hand rejuvenation with fat grafting offers a natural and effective solution to restore volume, hydration and a youthful appearance.
Why Do Hands Show Age Early?
The skin over the hands is thin and constantly exposed to environmental stress. With age, there is:
- Loss of subcutaneous fat
- Reduced collagen and elastin
- Increased visibility of veins and tendons
- Dryness and wrinkling
These changes make the hands appear bony, aged and dehydrated.
What Is Hand Rejuvenation with Fat Grafting?
Fat grafting, also known as autologous fat transfer, is a procedure where fat is harvested from one part of your body and injected into the hands.
At Chennai Plastic Surgery, this technique is used to:
- Restore lost volume
- Improve skin quality
- Rejuvenate the overall appearance of the hands
Because your own fat is used, the results are natural-looking and biocompatible.
How Fat Grafting Works
The procedure involves three key steps:
- Fat Harvesting
Fat is gently removed from areas such as the abdomen or thighs using liposuction techniques.
- Fat Processing
The harvested fat is purified to retain healthy fat cells.
- Fat Injection
The processed fat is carefully injected into the hands to restore volume and contour.
Benefits of Hand Rejuvenation with Fat Grafting
- Restores plumpness and softness
- Reduces visibility of veins and tendons
- Improves skin texture and hydration
- Provides natural and long-lasting results
- Uses your own tissue, reducing risk of reactions
This makes it one of the most effective options for hand rejuvenation in Chennai.
What to Expect After the Procedure
- Mild swelling and bruising for a few days
- Gradual settling of fat over weeks
- Improvement in hand appearance within weeks
Some amount of fat resorption is expected, and results stabilise over time.

- Thin, bony hands
