With deep medical insight cultivated as an internal medicine specialist, I bridge aesthetic surgery, dermatology, and internal medicine. Having spent my childhood in China, I communicate fluently in Japanese, Chinese, English, and Korean. Possessing an international perspective—evidenced by invitations to present at overseas conferences—I actively promote techniques as a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) for GOURI and REJURAN®. My specialty procedures include double eyelid surgery, skin-nurturing boosters, and body hyaluronic acid treatments. My approach leverages the holistic understanding of the body cultivated through internal medicine to guide patients toward natural, healthy beauty.

Hello! I'm Dr. Hime from Bianca Clinic, also known as Senki Akashi.

Standing Ear Hyal is a cosmetic procedure that involves injecting hyaluronic acid into specific areas of the ear to reshape it into a perky, upright form.

In Europe and America, it is also known as "Elf Ears" or "Elf Hair," and its sharp, adorable silhouette has gained popularity.

These perky ears are actually gaining popularity in Japan, especially among those with a keen sense of beauty!

The Mechanism of Pricked Ears and Injection Sites

For standing ears, hyaluronic acid injections are administered around the ear cartilage (primarily around the antihelix and concha).

Style the top of the ear at an angle as if it were standing upright.

The Difference Between Surgery Involving Incisions and Standing Ear Hyaluronic Acid Injections

Methods to achieve upright ears include hyaluronic acid injections as well as surgical procedures involving incisions.

The characteristics of standing-ear hyaluronic acid are:Relatively minimal downtime and the ability to easily adjust as the situation progresses.

For those who are hesitant about surgical procedures or wish to temporarily try the look of standing earstend to be selected.

 

 

 

Pain and Side Effects of Standing Ear Hyaluronic Acid Injections

Standing Ear Hyal is performed under anesthesia, so you are unlikely to feel pain during the procedure.

However, bruising and mild swelling may occur after surgery.

In most cases, swelling and bruising will subside within a few days, but avoid applying pressure to the treated area.

When sleeping, you need to be mindful of your position to avoid pressing your ears with the pillow.

 

 

Points to Note and Duration of Standing Ears Hyaluronic Acid Injections

Hyaluronic acid preparations are gradually absorbed by the body after injection, so the effects typically last for about six months to one year.

Therefore, regular maintenance injections are necessary to maintain the effect.
