Restore youthful hands with natural fat transfer rejuvenation.
Dr. Saiqa Khan, MD, FACS, uses fat grafting to restore lost volume in the back of the hands, softening the appearance of prominent veins and tendons for a more natural, youthful look. Treatment is performed awake under local anesthesia with light sedation at Empowered Plastic Surgery in Houston and Sugar Land, TX.


About Hand Rejuvenation with Fat Graft
Hand rejuvenation with fat grafting restores lost volume to the back of the hands by transferring purified fat harvested from your own body. The procedure can soften the appearance of prominent veins and tendons, fill in thinning skin, and create a more natural, youthful look while preserving full hand function and sensation. For patients without enough donor fat available, Dr. Khan also offers adipose tissue allograft as an alternative source of donor tissue for volume restoration.
