Objectives: Hands rejuvenation using subcutaneous nanofat injections : an innovative technique.
Introduction: We aimed to access wether our novel nanofat grafting procedure improves skin quality, while yielding a regenerative effect.
Materials / method: Patients who requested hands rejuvenetion were enrolled between january 2018 and June 2018. Fat was aspirated from inner face of the knee, or medial thigh, or lower abdomen regions. Following aspiration and flushing, microfat was obtained after washing with saline. This microfat was emulsified to obtain nanofat suspension, after adding 20% of PRP the emulsion was injected using a 25 G cannula into the subcutaneous layer at all parts of the hands. Images were obtained before and at 1,3, and 6 months. Patients were also administered a survey concerning hands appearance.
Results: Fifty patients were included. The clinical results were apparent between 2 and 4 weeks after injection, and improvements were continuously observed until 9 months postoperatively. All patients confirmed an improvement in texture, elasticity, firmness, fine wrinkles, and skin hydration, along with a regenarative effect. Only minor complications were noted, including redness and edema between 2 and 4 days, and some bruises and pain in donor site.
Conclusion: Hands rejuvenation with subcutaneous nanofat injections at all parts of the hands appears to be an effectice method, although additional studies are necessary.
