I have wrinkled fingers (similar to the attached picture of Nicole Kidman from tonight's oscars) and it seems like it would be pretty easy to make crescent or football shaped incisions at the knuckle to tighten the skin on the fingers and restore a more youthful look to the hands. The area is naturally creased anyways so the scars would just look like the natural lines that already exist there as long as the shape mimics the curve of the knuckle creases. Is there anyone doing a procedure like this?
Answer: Hand Rejuvenation -- Fat Injections/PRP, Radiesse/Belotero, Fraxel Hands can be improved with fillers very easily, and I love combining this with fraxel laser to tighten and improve texture. Belotero and Radiesse give natural looking results. I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist with expertise in hand rejuvenation to go over the recommended timeline. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Correct wrinkled fingers This is an interesting question. You are right that a little incision could be made on each finger to remove some skin, however, there are a couple of issues with this on the fingers. The wounds following incisions like that have a tendency to come apart once. you start using your fingers again. You also need some skin laxity to allow for finger flexion. The skin on top of the fingers is not very mobile so some redundancy of the skin is needed.

Answer: Why don't plastic surgeons have a procedure to correct wrinkled fingers? Why don't cell phone makers create a battery that charges without a cord, or even better, one that never dies? Why don't car manufacturers make engines that get 500 miles per gallon? The list of questions could go on and on. The bottom line is that plastic surgeons went to medical school and not magic school and there are limitations to what is possible. To my knowledge there is no reliable surgical procedure to tighten skin on hands. There are too many critical structures in the hand involved in movement and function and scars on the hand cause contracture if placed incorrectly. If you want to head off to medical school and then plastic surgery residency and then publish a paper on your experience with finger skin tightening, I am sure I and others would love to read it!All joking aside, there are some procedures out there that can improve the appearance of skin on the hands. Skin procedures such as lasers and microneedling can improve the quality of the skin and often times fat grafting to the backs of the hands can improve the appearance of aging. Hope this helps!

Answer: Hand/finger rejuvination Thankyou for your question. Your idea is a reasonable one , however given hower much movement is expected of hands , it would be fraught with risk of would breakdown and stretching to create ugly scars unless you were to completely immobilise your hands for 6 weeks or more thereby increasing risk of creating irreversible stiffness. So good in theory but unfortuanelty falls down in practice .
