Supervising Physician

Staff member S☺️✨

The popular "Ura Hamura" treatment for dark circles under the eyes.
I myself had been struggling with it for a long time. A distinct V-shaped shadow with a mix of hollows and bulges For that, I received treatment from Ms. Sumi of BIANCA.💙

"I'm curious about Ura Hamura, but what's it really like?"
"How long is the downtime?"
"Does it really look natural?"

For those who have such questions, I hope this will be of some help. This time, Real-life reports based on actual experiences I'll summarize it.✍️✨

 

👀There are many different types of dark circles under the eyes!

Bears can be broadly categorized as
・Dark circles (hollows)
・Bulging caused by fat
・Pigmentation
There are types such as,The treatment required varies greatly from person to person.

As for me...

Strong ligament retraction
A distinct shadow forms in the shape of the letter H.
It has some bulges, but overall it's concave.

→ In other words Combination type with both indentations and bulges

Therefore, from Ms. Sumi,
We recommend the "reverse Hamra" technique, which involves detaching the tear trough and relocating excess fat to the sunken area.I was told that💡

🏥The Real Deal During Treatment

Conclusion:No pain! Almost no fear!

・The doctor kept me informed throughout the procedure and immediately administered additional anesthesia whenever I felt even the slightest discomfort.
・I can tell something's clicking around my eyes, but since I can't see it, it's not scary.

During surgery, there's a sense of being worked on, but it's only to the extent of thinking, “Oh, something's being done right now.”It ended while I was still relaxed.😌

🧊 Real-Time Downtime Progress Report

[Immediately after]

・Applied adhesive tape under my eyes and headed home
・A deep-brimmed hat + mask is ideal
・The swelling was “less than expected”

【4 hours later】

・My under-eyes are puffy...!
・"Oh, it's starting to swell..."😂

【Day 1 (Next Morning / Peak)】

・Peak of swelling
・I'm naturally prone to swelling, so I get even puffier.
・Blood-tinged tears make it impossible to open my eyes
・Not only the area under the eyes but also the area above the eyes swells
・Your field of vision narrows
→ It calms down a bit after about two hours, but it's just so “eye-straining.”
→ No pain ◎

【Day 2】

・The morning swelling is the same as on the first day.
・Excessive eye discharge makes it hard to open my eyes...
・Essentially the same as Day 1

【Day 3】

・Swelling is still present
・But it won't be “so much that your eyes won't open” anymore.
・Clear vision
・Removed the tape and went out to eat with a friend
・The bruising is only slightly yellowish and can be covered with concealer.
・Wearing glasses makes going out possible◎

【Day 4】

・Yellowish discoloration from the cheeks to the corners of the mouth (bruising has migrated downward)
・The puffiness around the eyes is much milder
・My whole face feels lighter

【Day 5】

・The lower half of the face looks slightly puffy.
・But my eyes feel clearer day by day

【Day 6〜】

・The feeling of “It's basically downtime!” will largely disappear.
・Swelling, puffiness, and yellowish discoloration will subside

But here's the problem...

【Things that started to bother me around this time】

・Now that the swelling has gone down, I'm noticing the difference between the left and right sides.
 Left eye: Well-defined tear trough   Right eye: Still not coming out
・Hardness under the eyes
・When smiling, the inner corners of the eyes don't move, giving a slightly upturned impression.
Honestly, I felt a little uneasy during this period.😢

📅 One month later

・The swelling in my right eye has subsided, and my tear troughs are showing!
・Balance between left and right sides
・Although a slight sense of discomfort remains when smiling, there is a trend toward improvement.

📅 Two months later

・The discomfort when smiling has almost disappeared
・The firmness under the eyes is not noticeable
・However, with the swelling having completely subsided, Fine lines I'm a little concerned about
But this is a common post-op thing!

Even individuals without fine wrinkles before surgery may develop them due to the appearance of excess skin.
That's precisely why some doctors In some cases, an incision is recommended “to account for excess skin after surgery.”That's it.

💉What about fine lines?

If it is mild
・Rejuran i
・Potenza DDR

These measures are sufficient for improvement.

🩵 Ura Hamura, was it worth it? → Seriously, it was totally worth it!

・Just getting rid of dark circles instantly makes you look younger
・No one will find out (if you don't tell them, they won't notice)
・Your photos will look significantly better
・The tired look disappears
・Doing it early significantly increases the likelihood of avoiding surgery.

In fact, I've never once been criticized for my work by those around me.
But when I show them the photos, they say, "Whoa, it's totally different! Amazing!"

Others don't see your face as a “still image from directly in front,” so mild dark circles often go unnoticed.
But My level of satisfaction is truly high.
Every time I look in the mirror, I think, "I'm glad I did it."🥺💙
