Hand Filler

Hand filler is performed to enhance the aesthetic appearance of our hands, which are one of the most important organs of the body. The aesthetic appearance of the hands is very important in professional and social settings. According to our traditions, a handshake occurs during the first encounter. Hands are waved for goodbyes or to draw attention.

Hands are significant organs that support our expression while speaking. In occupations that involve manual work (such as teaching, banking, medicine, and dentistry), the hands are the first noticeable feature. Having clean, smooth, and aesthetically pleasing hands supports our visual integrity and shapes our image.

Deformations in the hands can occur due to various reasons, either congenital or over time. These deformities manifest on the outer surface of the hands as wrinkles, lines, dryness, cracking, peeling, and hollowness, which can make a person appear older and unkempt. With hand filler, these negative effects can be alleviated, resulting in healthy, well-groomed, and smooth hands.

What Is Hand Filler?

Successful results are achieved with the fat injection method in hand fillers. The fat injection method involves taking excess fat from the individual’s body, processing it, and preparing it as a filler material. The advantage of fat injection fillers is that the treated area appears natural and contains no foreign substances.

What Should Be Done Before Hand Filler?

Individuals complaining of hand deformities are first examined to assess the degree of deformity. Points on the hand surface that require filler application, the amount of filler, and the materials to be used are determined. If the individual is taking medications, the doctor will decide which ones can be used before the procedure. Smoking and alcohol consumption should be discontinued.

How Is Hand Filler Done with Fat Injection?

To perform hand filler with fat injection, the individual must have excess fat on their body and no contraindications for the liposuction procedure. Liposuction is a process where small incisions are made in the area from which fat will be removed, and fat is extracted using thin cannulas and vacuum suction. The fat extraction process is performed with sedation, without general anesthesia. The extracted fat is processed to obtain suitable fat for filling.

After the hand area is numbed with anesthetic cream, the prepared fat is injected into the required points using a syringe. The fat is shaped by hand to ensure even distribution and contouring on the hand surface. The procedure, which takes approximately 45-60 minutes, allows the individual to return to their daily life afterward.

Hand Filler Costs

The cost of hand fillers is determined by various factors, including the size of the area being treated, the method used for the filler, the amount of filler material, the preferred filler brand, and the doctor’s experience. For the most accurate and personalized pricing information, you can call our medical center or obtain detailed information after your examination.
