Abstract:
The advantages of fat filling for hand rejuvenescence are discussed. Seventy-two patients treated by this method are presented, including their follow-up, complication rate, and details of combined operations. Preference is given to local anesthesia when no other major surgeries are associated with the method. A highly satisfactory rate was obtained (98.62%) with a low complication rate (4.15%).
