What Causes Skinny Hands And Feet?

hi my concern is my boney and very skinny hands and feet. all my knuckles and boney joints are very veiny and noticeable. People look twice and stare at my ugly hands. Someone said to me to use fillers. Is there a procedure to improve the look on boney skinny and veiny hands and feet. With my feet, my shoes slip out of my feet because I have skinny boney knucked toes and ankles and very high arches. Im not under weigh infact im over weight for my height and im in my late forties but my hands look like im in my eighties. Can you help?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello
I have gone through your question and understand your concern. As long as your hand and feet are functionally good, in healthy state it is not needed to undergo any procedure only for cosmetic reason. Some people have genetically sturdy, lean hands with less muscle making veins more visible.
Consult a medical specialist –phlebologist or dermatologist who will perform physical examination to find out the cause of bulging veins (can be due to vascular disease, hot weather, exercise and thinning of skin with age). if there is no issue than the best way to take care of hand and feet is moisturize them extensively to improve blood supply of skin and sclerotherapy procedure can be carried out by medical expert to reduce the appearance of unsightly veins.
Good luck. Hope your concern is answered. Thank you.
