Cosmetic Hand Surgery
The hands are far more noticeable than most patients realize. They are part of how every person expresses themselves while communicating, often adorned with jewelry, watches, or other accessories that draw attention directly to the skin and contour. Unfortunately, the hands are also the most consistently exposed part of the body — to UV rays, harsh cleaners, kitchen heat, weather, and accidental injuries — and they often show signs of aging, scarring, and damage earlier and more dramatically than the face. Beyond appearance, the hands are also functionally complex: dozens of small bones, tendons, nerves, and ligaments work together for everything from gripping a pen to playing the piano, and conditions affecting that anatomy can both impair function and change how the hands look. At Los Angeles Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, Dr. John Anastasatos provides the full spectrum of cosmetic and reconstructive hand surgery — from refined rejuvenation of aging hands to advanced microsurgical reconstruction after injury.
Dr. Anastasatos performs hand surgery with the most directly relevant academic credential possible: he completed a fellowship in Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery and Microsurgery at the University of Alabama at Birmingham — formal subspecialty training in the deep anatomy and surgical technique of the hand that few cosmetic plastic surgeons possess. He completed his plastic surgery training under Dr. Luis Vasconez at UAB — one of history’s foremost plastic surgeons — and has presented academic work at UAB Grand Rounds on “The Microsurgical Repair of Peripheral Nerves” and “Infections of the Hand,” directly relevant to the foundational science of hand surgical technique. With over two decades of facial and hand surgical expertise in Beverly Hills since 2007, he is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and named by The Luxe Insider as one of the Top 10 Plastic Surgeons in the World.
How Aging Affects the Hands
The function of the hands keeps them exposed and moving — putting them at meaningfully higher risk for injuries, sun damage, and accelerated aging than most other parts of the body. Several specific changes occur over time:
- Loss of fat volume under the skin produces a bony, hollowed appearance
- Thinning skin becomes wrinkled and crepey as collagen depletes
- Pronounced bones, tendons, and veins become visible as the soft tissue covering them diminishes
- Sun spots and age spots accumulate from years of UV exposure
- Scars from cuts, burns, and other injuries become more visible against thinner skin
For patients who have invested in keeping their face and body looking youthful, aged hands can feel out of place. Cosmetic hand surgery and supporting non-surgical treatments can restore more youthful, beautiful hands at any age.
