A dual-specialty doctor with a background in plastic surgery, bridging cosmetic surgery and ophthalmology. At the university hospital, he performed numerous high-difficulty cases, primarily focusing on eye and facial bone surgeries, cultivating precise techniques grounded in anatomy. He prioritizes achieving both aesthetic beauty and functional safety, offering customized treatments around the eyes that incorporate ophthalmological expertise. He actively utilizes not only incisional surgery but also non-invasive procedures like hyaluronic acid injections. By carefully assessing each individual's condition and unique appeal, he provides bespoke treatments that guide patients toward naturally harmonious, well-defined eyes.

Hello, I'm Ryutaro Natsume, an image designer and cosmetic surgeon.

Standing Ear Hyaluronic Acid is a procedure where hyaluronic acid is injected into the ears to adjust their shape, making them stand out when viewed from the front. This utilizes an optical illusion to create a slimmer face effect.

It can also help improve long or wide faces and create a more youthful appearance. Standing Ear Hyaluronic Acid is already a popular cosmetic treatment overseas and is sometimes referred to as "Standing Ear Hyal."

Standing ears were often considered a source of insecurity in the past, referred to as "devil's ears" in the West and "monkey ears" in Japan. However, in recent years, influenced by beautiful Korean and Chinese influencers, there has been a growing interest in standing ears in Japan, including procedures like hyaluronic acid injections to achieve them.

Surgery to correct floppy ears is available, but revision surgery is required to restore the original appearance.

If it's hyaluronic acid, it can be dissolved and returned to its original state immediately if you wish to reverse the procedure.

The procedure takes over an hour, but it's completed in just a few minutes.

 

The injection method involves injecting hyaluronic acid behind the ear to lift it. The recommended injection volume is approximately 4cc.

Regarding downtime, it is similar to standard hyaluronic acid injections, with virtually no downtime.

If bruising occurs, it may take several days to fade, but since it's behind the ear, it's hidden by hair and not noticeable from the front.
