Treatment for dark circles primarily includes the Hamra method (upper and lower eyelids), fat removal, and fat grafting. In recent years, the term “dark circle removal” has taken on a life of its own, leading some to mistakenly believe that fat removal alone will improve dark circles. However, dark circles actually result from both “bulging” and "hollowing," making it crucial to address both issues. Therefore, the Hamra method, or fat removal combined with fat grafting, is often necessary, with the specific procedure chosen based on the individual's condition.

In particular, the Hamra technique requires advanced skills and is not a procedure that can be mastered in a short period of time. I offer a high-quality Hamra technique based on the experience I have cultivated in plastic and cosmetic surgery.

Furthermore, the causes and conditions of dark circles vary from person to person. Therefore, if only specific procedures can be offered, the range of options inevitably becomes limited. My strength lies in being able to thoroughly handle all surgical techniques, which allows me to propose the truly necessary treatment method.

Eyelid surgeries include double eyelid procedures (buried suture and incision methods), ptosis correction, inner and outer canthoplasty, droopy outer corner correction, and glamorous line procedures. To achieve your ideal eye appearance, it's crucial to accurately assess factors like eyelid opening, thickness, position, and balance, then select the optimal surgical technique. In fact, facial impressions can change significantly not only through upper eyelid procedures but also through approaches targeting the outer corners or lower eyelids.

What I prioritize is not just achieving a natural look, but the technique to "bring you closer to your desired shape." Droopy-eye canthoplasty, in particular, is a highly advanced procedure performed by few surgeons. Unlike standard canthoplasty, it involves fixing the ligament to the periosteum, making it less prone to relapse. On the other hand, glamorous line formation is relatively prone to relapse. Even if the change feels "just right" immediately after surgery, it may feel like it has returned to its original state after several months. To achieve a significant change, reproducible technique is essential, based on understanding the appropriate direction and strength of traction, the anatomy of the surgical site, and predicting relapse. Without this technique, only a "subtle change" can be achieved. It is precisely because we possess the technique to create a significant change that we can also handle a wide range of natural changes.

Let's accurately assess your current condition and work together during counseling to identify the necessary procedures to help you achieve your ideal results.

Facial contouring treatments primarily involve liposuction and fat removal from areas such as the cheeks, under the jaw, jowls, buccal fat pads, and nasolabial folds. Achieving a beautiful facial contour requires a dual approach: not only removing excess fat bulges but also addressing skin laxity through treatments like thread lifts. Depending on age and individual condition, some patients may achieve satisfactory results with liposuction alone, while others may benefit from combining it with thread lifts to create a more refined facial line.

To achieve a beautifully defined facial contour, it is essential to comprehensively assess not only fat distribution but also skeletal and muscular factors such as jaw shape, masseter muscle development, and the tension of the parotid gland. Even slight changes in these elements can significantly alter the contour's overall impression. Combining treatments like Botox, hyaluronic acid, and fat grafting as needed often yields a natural, three-dimensional slimming effect. Treatment selection is truly customized.

A well-defined jawline can dramatically improve your photogenic appearance and overall look. We encourage you to schedule a consultation to discuss your options.
