I've six fingers in my hand , can i get a better hand through plastic surgery?

What is better?: Some extra fingers are functional, others are just extra appendages. Depending upon appearance, hand surgery may improve function and/or appearance. Consult a hand surgeon to evaluate your options.

Yes: This is a very common procedure done by well-trained plastic surgeons. The options for correction should be discussed with an plastic surgeon or ortopedic surgeon with special interest in reconstructive hand surgery. Be well.

Extra finger: It is possible to remove an extra finger on your hand. It is important to have your hand evaluated by an experienced hand surgeon. This will include imaging studies as well as a thorough history and physical examination.

Polydactyly Surgery: If your extra finger is fuctional and developed including an extra metacarpal (hand bone) surgery is more difficult and may not give you a "better" hand. If your extra finger is a small nonfunctioning extra digit by you pinky finger, the surgery to remove it is not as involved and will probably give you a "better" hand. This is especially true if your extra finger just gets in the way.
