Hello,Plastic Surgeon Shaping Impressions: Ryutaro Natsumeis

Everyone wants a smaller face.
”When people hear ”injection treatment," many worry, "Won't my face get bigger?"
This time, we'll introduce the technique for achieving a smaller-looking face despite hyaluronic acid injections: the hyaluronic acid lift.

What is a youthful contour?


This is the change AI projected for ages 20 and 50.
20 years old: High cheekbones, a smooth, defined jawlineinverted triangle
50 years old: Low cheekbones, uneven facial contoursTriangle
Fat sags,The face shape that was inverted triangular becomes triangular. Then it becomes uneven—this is an age-related change.is.
Not only the contours, but also the area under the eyes develops unevenness. Nasolabial folds deepen, creating unevenness in the midface.
The foundation of anti-aging treatment lies in smoothing out unevenness and recreating an inverted triangle-shaped contour.is.
・What is Hyaluronic Acid Lift?
Hyaluronic acid fills in the unevenness caused by aging!

You'll notice that pinching the jawline or grasping the skin at the hairline near the temples with your fingers helps reduce sagging skin around the mouth.
So if you have hollows in your temples or cheeks, filling them with hyaluronic acid will lift the skin.
This change is easy to understand if you imagine a balloon. A fully inflated balloon has no wrinkles, but a deflated balloon develops wrinkles.
While hyaluronic acid injections alone will ultimately increase facial volume,Skin-lifting effect + improved facial contour definition for a youthful appearancewill become.
・Caution:
In cases of excessive sagging or pronounced unevenness, hyaluronic acid alone may be insufficient.
In such cases, we use machine-based treatments like HIFU or Voluma to lift and tighten the skin, while thread lifts are employed to redistribute bulging fat to sunken areas.
Then, we use hyaluronic acid to smooth out any uneven areas.
The individual mentioned earlier exhibits noticeable changes in facial contours, symbolizing the aging process.

If it were me, I would create a treatment plan like this.
