Hand Rejuvenation

Why Hand Rejuvenation?

The hands – specifically the back or dorsum of the hands are often one of the first places on the body to show signs of aging. Many people take excellent care of their faces with a skin care routine, but the hands (especially the back of the hands) are often ignored. Many people, especially in Miami, often forget to apply sunscreen, which can cause their hands to age more quickly. Hand rejuvenation is a specialized procedure designed to address common concerns — such as thinning skin, prominent veins, age spots, and wrinkles — that can reveal one’s true age.

What is Hand Rejuvenation?

Hand rejuvenation is a cosmetic treatment designed to restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance to the hands. Over time, the skin on the hands can lose volume and elasticity, making veins, tendons, and wrinkles more noticeable. Dr. Gallagher utilizes techniques such as fat grafting and chemical peels to address these concerns, resulting in smoother, plumper, and more evenly toned skin. Unlike temporary fixes, her approach helps improve both the appearance and texture of the skin by enhancing its texture and replenishing natural volume.

What Are the Benefits of a Hand Rejuvenation?

Hand rejuvenation offers several benefits that go beyond aesthetics. Patients often notice a dramatic improvement in volume and contour, reducing the visibility of veins and tendons that can age the hands. Chemical peels help lighten dark spots, soften fine lines, and reverse sun damage, resulting in smoother, brighter skin. Because fat grafting utilizes your own natural tissue, it produces results that appear and feel authentic, while also enhancing skin quality over time. Together, these techniques restore harmony between the appearance of your hands and the rest of your body, giving you greater confidence in both everyday life and special occasions.

Who Are the Best Candidates For a Hand Rejuvenation?

The best candidates for hand rejuvenation are individuals who feel their hands look older than they’d like, whether due to thinning skin, age spots, sun damage, or visible veins. Most patients are in good overall health and seek natural-looking results that enhance, rather than drastically alter, their appearance. Hand rejuvenation is especially popular among patients who already take good care of their face and body but want their hands to reflect the same level of vitality. Non-smokers and those with realistic expectations typically achieve the best outcomes. During a consultation in Miami, Dr. Gallagher will assess your concerns and help determine if this treatment is right for you.

What’s the First Step?

Your Hand Rejuvenation Journey with Dr. Gallagher

The first step toward hand rejuvenation is scheduling a consultation at Gallagher Plastic Surgery. During this visit in Miami, Dr. Gallagher will carefully evaluate the condition of your hands, discuss your aesthetic goals, and review your medical history to determine if you’re a suitable candidate. (Many of our patients travel from out of town so that this step can be done virtually.) She will then recommend a customized plan that may include fat grafting, chemical peels, or a combination of both techniques. You’ll also receive detailed instructions on how to prepare for your procedure and what to expect during recovery. This personalized approach ensures that your results align with your vision and lifestyle.

How Is Hand Rejuvenation Done?

Dr. Gallagher’s unique approach combines two powerful techniques to achieve remarkable results.

Fat grafting involves harvesting excess fat from one area of the body, such as the belly or thighs, through liposuction, and then transferring it to the backs of the hands. This technique not only replenishes lost volume but also improves the skin’s overall texture and elasticity. Fat contains stem cells, which can help turn back the clock on the signs of aging in the hands. Dr. Gallagher’s meticulous approach ensures a natural-looking outcome, as she strategically places the fat grafts to achieve a harmonious balance and restore youthful plumpness.

Complementing fat grafting, Dr. Gallagher incorporates a chemical peel tailored specifically for the hands. A chemical peel involves the application of a specialized solution to exfoliate the skin, encouraging the regeneration of healthier, smoother skin cells. This treatment effectively reduces the appearance of age spots, fine lines, and sun damage, leaving your hands looking refreshed and rejuvenated.

What to Expect

When you choose hand rejuvenation with Dr. Gallagher, you can expect a personalized treatment plan designed to address your unique concerns. During your initial consultation, Dr. Gallagher will carefully evaluate your hands, listen to your goals, and recommend the most suitable approach for you. She will guide you through the procedure, explaining each step to ensure you feel informed and comfortable.

The hand rejuvenation procedure itself is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort. Many patients opt for this as an add-on to another procedure or undergo more extensive liposuction, in which case, general anesthesia is recommended for the procedure.

Dr. Gallagher’s expertise and gentle technique ensure a safe, efficient process with minimal downtime.

    I had an amazing experience with Dr.Gallagher and her team, the whole experience from the procedure (top surgery) to the post-op care has been fantastic. Dr.Gallagher was able to address any concerns I had with my chest before the procedure and made me feel comfortable the whole way through, and then the attentiveness post-op is all the better.

    Thank you so much Dr. Gallagher for your amazing work! I appreciated the great support from your team at the surgical centre and your office. Everyone was so wonderful! I am extremely happy with my results and had a very positive experience. I had followed Dr. Gallagher for several years on Instagram prior to my surgery, and learned so much from her detailed explanations about various aspects of the surgical procedures, what to expect on the day, recovery, etc. I had complete trust, felt safe, felt listened to. I also appreciate the follow-ups, and answers to all my questions. The support, warmth, care is top notch!

    Dr. Gallagher and her whole team, from Neasa to Daryl Ann and everyone else in between, are absolutely fantastic, kind hearted, hard working people. Dr. Gallagher truly amazed me and I’m so grateful to have had her on my team.

    I was able to get keyhole top surgery about three weeks ago and I’m loving my results already! I’m muscular and heavier set as well but always had a smaller chest, and I’m so glad Dr. Gallagher was the one who could do this for me.

    Right now I am still experiencing swelling, but I am using compression dressings every day, throughout the day which helps tons! I know that when the swelling subsides months from now, and everything is “back to normal”, I am going to love even more what I see in the mirror because I can finally see me.

    So glad I found Dr. Gallagher. I would not have elected to pursue my surgery had I not found a qualified and competent medical provider that I felt I could trust and have confidence in their ability to offer a high-quality, low-risk result. As a result of my initial contacts and consultations with Gallagher Plastic Surgery practice, I was willing to pursue my desired surgery and even travel half-way across the country to their offices. I’m so glad I did. The results are outstanding, more than I even anticipated. This was the 3rd practice I had dealt with and so I was learning what to look for and knew Dr. Gallagher was a good fit. The medical expertise and professionalism are what I based my decision on to proceed. They were calmly confident for a reason. I realized at the surgery event and through to the 3 week post-op checkin the excellence in their personal care (bed side manner). The office and Dr. Gallagher communicated very well. Everything went smoothly and as planned. As nervous as I was about an unnecessary surgery, Dr. Gallagher and her team were able to build enough trust that I was able to receive a very beneficial result.

    Dr. Gallagher and her team are the absolute best! She completed my brachioplasty on Tuesday and when I saw the initial results at my post op appointment two days later I literally had tears of joy streaming down my face. My weight loss journey has been a road of many ups and downs, and I was so nervous about whether this surgery could even work for me. Even with the swelling that is normal after brachioplasty, there is an enormous difference, and I am still in disbelief that even this early on, my arms look this great. My husband was even in disbelief, and we’re so excited to see what I’ll look like in two weeks time. Dr. Gallagher is so kind and patient, and walked me through all of the phases of healing/expectations, and was great to call and check in. If you are looking for a highly skilled surgeon that will give you optimal results along with a compassionate approach, it is well worth your time and money to consider a consultation with her. I am forever thankful for her and for her team! This is life changing for me. Thank you, Dr. Gallagher! I appreciate you so much!
