Your Cosmetic Hand Surgery journey begins with a detailed consultation and assessment. Here’s what typically happens:

  • Administration of local anesthesia with sedation or regional block

  • Precise incision or injection based on procedure (scar revision, cyst excision, fat grafting)

  • Repair or smoothing of tissues (tendons, fat, skin) for both form and function
