Hand lipofilling
Operation Description
Hands naturally have minimal fat tissue, so as aging occurs and fat loss takes place, it becomes very noticeable in this area. Since hands are considered synonymous with beauty and youthfulness, hand lipofilling is an increasingly applied cosmetic procedure aimed at enhancing the appearance of the hands. This procedure is performed with the goal of restoring lost volume and reducing visible signs of aging on the hands. Common reasons for hand lipofilling include the loss of subcutaneous fat tissue, resulting in volume loss, visible bones, wrinkles, and sagging skin on the hands.

Candidates
For hand lipofilling, candidates can be:
- Individuals who want to rejuvenate the appearance of their hands.
- Individuals with sagging and wrinkled skin on their hands.
- Individuals experiencing physiological fat loss in the hands.
Recovery
After hand lipofilling, you can resume your daily activities. Expected symptoms include minor bruising, mild swelling, and skin tightening that subsides after 1-2 days. In addition to the hand area where the fat transfer occurred, minor bruising and swelling may also occur in the areas where the fat tissue was harvested.
During the recovery period, it is advisable not to treat the hands with aggressive cosmetics. Avoiding intense physical activity, excessive sun exposure, swimming pools, and saunas is also recommended, and the hands should be subjected to as little strain as possible.
Safety precautions
Hand lipofilling is performed using the individual's own fatty tissue. When these fats are transferred from one part of the body to the hand area, the body recognizes them as its own and accepts them. Therefore, this procedure carries no risks, especially when performed by experienced medical personnel, as is the case at Colić Hospital.
The results of lipofilling usually become most apparent after approximately 6 months to a year. It is important to note that in all procedures involving fatty tissue, including lipofilling, there is a high probability that a certain percentage of the fat may not take during the initial transfer. This is a normal process, as fat tissue is sustained by cells, adipocytes, which need appropriate conditions to survive and maintain that tissue. Therefore, it is sometimes necessary to repeat the intervention to ensure that the desired results are more permanent. Repeating hand lipofilling is possible after a period of 6 months.
