# Fat Grafting (Back of the hands)
* Post-Operative Progress
# While fat grafting for the back of the hands might feel a bit unfamiliar, it is a procedure with very high patient satisfaction. Those who have had it often recommend it to others or return for touch-ups.
# The fat grafting is focused on areas with significant hollowing and wrinkles. It is particularly effective in areas where veins appear prominent.
# Through fat grafting, the previously uneven and wrinkled back of the hands has been smoothed out, making the hands look much younger!
# At VIBE Plastic Surgery, we only use fresh fat. This is because frozen fat has a lower survival rate and a higher risk of issues such as infection, inflammation, and calcification.
Consultations and surgeries should always be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
