Background: Hand rejuvenation has gained popularity as a cosmetic procedure to address age-related changes. Fat grafting, involving the transfer of fat to the hands, has shown promise in restoring volume and improving skin quality, thanks to the presence of stem cells and growth factors in the fat graft. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted over five years. It involved 74 patients who underwent fat grafting for hand rejuvenation. The procedure included harvesting fat, preparing it, and injecting it into the hand’s dorsum. Patient demographics, procedural specifics, and postoperative complications were analyzed, with follow-ups conducted over a minimum period of 12 months. Results: Of the 74 patients, 85% reported satisfaction with the procedure, while 13.5% were partially satisfied, indicating a need for additional sessions. Only 1.5% were dissatisfied. Temporary hand swelling was noted in a few cases but resolved spontaneously. No long-term complications were observed. The average age of patients was 52.4 years, with a balanced distribution between male and female patients. Conclusion: Fat grafting for hand rejuvenation demonstrates high patient satisfaction and a safe profile, with minimal complications. It effectively addresses age-related changes in hand appearance. Recommendation: Future studies should focus on long-term outcomes and the influence of individual patient factors on the efficacy of fat grafting for hand rejuvenation.
