Restore Lost Volume, Reveal a Naturally Radiant Look
Fat Grafting for Hand Rejuvenation in Korea
A New Standard of Youthful Hands
What is Fat Grafting for Hand Rejuvenation?
The hands have thinner skin and less subcutaneous fat than most other areas of the body, making them more vulnerable to external damage and the visible effects of aging. Frequent exposure to water, detergents, and everyday environmental factors accelerates the aging process, causing the skin to become thinner, rougher, and less elastic, while veins and tendons become more prominent.
Hand fat grafting restores lost volume using purified autologous fat, helping to improve the appearance of thin, aged hands by reducing the visibility of veins and tendons and creating a smoother, fuller, and more youthful look.

Fat Grafting: Enhanced Precision with a Micro-Cannula
To minimize bruising and swelling, here at LABOM Plastic Surgery we perform hand fat grafting using a micro-cannula, allowing for a gentler and more precise procedure.
Because the hands are constantly in motion, achieving a high fat survival rate while maintaining a natural appearance is especially important. The amount of purified autologous fat is carefully adjusted based on each patient’s hand size, degree of skin aging, and skin elasticity, resulting in fuller, smoother, and naturally youthful-looking hands without an overfilled appearance.

Why do hands develop a thin or aged appearance?
The hands have relatively thin skin and less subcutaneous fat than many other body areas. Exposure to water, detergents, and environmental factors can contribute to thinner, rougher, less-elastic skin and more visible veins and tendons.

The procedure usually takes about 1 to 2 hours.
What type of anesthesia is used for hand fat grafting?
Sleep sedation is used.
Will I need to stay overnight after the procedure?
No. You can be discharged the same day.
When are stitches removed after hand fat grafting?
Stitches are removed about 7 days after the procedure.
How long is the recovery period?
The recovery period is about 7 days, and returning to daily activities the same day is a procedure goal.
How is the fat collected and prepared?
After a personalized consultation and treatment-area design based on your hand-vein anatomy, fat is harvested from the thigh or abdomen and purified using centrifugation.
How does the procedure aim to reduce bruising and swelling?
A micro-cannula is used to make the procedure gentler and more precise, helping minimize bruising and swelling.
How do you keep the result from looking overfilled?
The amount of purified fat is adjusted according to your hand size, degree of skin aging, and skin elasticity to create a fuller, smoother, natural-looking result.
Who may be a good candidate for hand fat grafting?
