As a plastic surgeon, I have gained extensive experience through numerous cases, cultivating precise techniques and a deep understanding of anatomy. Currently, I combine plastic surgery expertise with the latest techniques to provide aesthetic medicine addressing aging concerns like skin, contours, and sagging. "Natural beauty" isn't about doing nothing and leaving it to chance; it lies beyond the will to choose how you want to be. My experience as an idol during medical school made me realize the power appearance holds over the heart, and I focus on supporting patients in achieving "days where they can like themselves more." I also offer consultations in English and prioritize creating a comfortable environment for open discussion.

Next-Generation Rejuvenation for Mature Women

 

As you pass your late thirties, do you find yourself increasingly noticing moments when you look in the mirror and think, "I look kind of tired"?

Dark circles and puffiness under the eyes, in particular, can easily alter the overall impression of your face and are one of those concerns that makeup alone can't fully conceal. Depending on the lighting, shadows can become more pronounced, making you look older than you actually are...

This is a common theme among many adult women.

 

↓I previously wrote an article about dark circles under the eyes.

”Say goodbye to that tired look with our ”Bear Removal" treatment! | Japan's Leading Clinic for Beauty and Health Regenerative Medicine|BIANCAGINZA

 

However, the cause of these shadows and signs of fatigue isn't always simply “fat bulging.”

・Loss of skin elasticity

・Loss of skeletal and fat volume

・Descent of fat and supporting tissue

Multiple factors combine to make so-called “dark circles” appear deeper.

 

 

Moreover, it is highly likely to worsen year by year, and the longer it goes on, the more difficult treatment becomes.

Therefore, the combination treatment of "fat removal plus fat grafting" is being chosen by women seeking a more natural rejuvenation.

“This approach simultaneously employs ”subtraction“ and ”addition" to fundamentally improve shadows.

 


 

Eliminating unnecessary bulk — the beautiful art of subtraction called "fat reduction"

 

Fat removal is a procedure that appropriately removes the orbital fat responsible for under-eye puffiness.

As can be seen in the diagram I posted earlier, the orbital fat tissue around the eyes surrounds the eyeball like a cushion inside a pouch.

This sagging due to aging and skeletal structure causes dark circles and skin laxity under the eyes.

 

By reducing puffiness, shadows caused by swelling become less pronounced, transforming the eye area into a brighter, more youthful appearance.

Then why not just take it? Why do we have to inject it???

I think that's a natural question that comes to mind.

 

In fact, for individuals with pronounced under-eye puffiness, skin laxity or increased wrinkles may occur after dark circle treatment involving fat removal alone.

In such cases, we simultaneously perform fat grafting—injecting fat harvested from the patient's own body under the eyes—combining treatments to achieve a flat, youthful eye area.

It is being injected into a different layer than the extracted fat.That's the key point.

 


 

Restoring Natural Volume — The Beautiful Addition of Fat Transfer

 

Fat grafting is a procedure where fat harvested from areas such as your thighs or abdomen is purified and then gently injected into hollows or depressions under the eyes.

Once fat is grafted, it remains for a long period, so it does not require frequent maintenance like hyaluronic acid.

And the greatest appeal of fat grafting is the substance contained within the fat.adipose-derived stem cells

In fact, the harvested fat contains “stem cells” present in equal measure to fat cells, which promote tissue repair and regeneration.

As a result, the skin in the injected area regains its firmness and radiance,The skin itself becomes rejuvenatedThis can be expected to have the welcome effect of...

・Natural volume enhancement

・Improved skin texture

・Smooth finish without any unevenness

These are all results that can only be achieved because it's your own organization.

 


Why Fat Removal + Fat Injection is Ideal for “Natural Beauty for Adults”

 

1. The balance between subtraction and addition is achieved.

By supplementing with fat grafting, we achieve a three-dimensional beauty that cannot be created through liposuction alone.

Achieve a natural-looking eye area, as if it were always meant to be that way.

 

2. Long-term effects can be expected.

Once fat is successfully grafted, it may remain semi-permanently thereafter, stabilizing over several years.

3. Avoid taking too much or putting in too much

Performed by a physician with a thorough understanding of plastic surgery anatomy, this allows for precise design regarding how much volume is needed in which layer.

 

 


 

The “Pleasant Surprise” of Fat Transfer — Can Be Used on Other Areas + Even Offers Spot Reduction Effects

 

In fact, fat grafting still offers significant advantages.

The harvested fat can be used not only around the eyes but also

 ・temple

 ・Sunken cheeks

 ・Around the nasolabial folds

 ・Golgo Line

It can also be injected simultaneously into areas where it is lacking.

 

Furthermore, the areas where fat was harvested (such as the thighs and abdomen)

Naturally shaped and slenderand that pleasant side effect.

"Not only does it make you look younger, it also sculpts your body."

This is a major advantage unique to fat grafting.
