Hello!

I am Yuu Okubo of BIANCA CLINIC.

 

"Lately, I feel like my jawline has become less defined."

"My profile in photos somehow looks heavy."

――Many people share this concern.

That lingering concern about “sluggishness” and “sagging” every time you look in the mirror.

The cause isn't just one thing; it varies from person to person.

 

This time, VASER®Dr. Toshiyuki Saiga, Association-Certified PhysicianCase presentation.Care during downtimeI'll tell you.

 

 

That sagging jawline you're worried about! Is it fat? Skin? Muscle?

There are three main reasons why your jawline may appear blurred.

 

  • Increase in fat → Facial Liposuction · HIFU · Fat-dissolving Injections

  • Skin sagging → Thread Lift・HIFU・Facelift

  • Muscle stiffness → Botox

 

Among these, facial liposuction is indicated for cases where the cause is an increase in fat.

Of course, there may be more than one cause. Determining the appropriate treatment is extremely difficult, and we may recommend a combination of therapies.

If you're thinking, "I want to do something about this sagging jawline!", please feel free to consult with us first.

 

 

What is the difference between Vaser liposuction and traditional liposuction?

Bianca Clinic employs a VASER® Association-certified physician (Dr. Toshiyuki Saiga).

But some of you might be wondering, "What's the difference between Vaser and traditional liposuction?" Let me explain the difference.

 

Liposuction is a procedure that physically removes fat using a cannula (a thin tube).

Vaser liposuction is,Gently separate and emulsify fat cells using ultrasonic vibrations before suctioning them out.is a characteristic feature.

By loosening the fat layer before suction, it is easier to minimize the burden on the treatment area.A tendency to perform suction while minimizing bleeding and swellingThere is.

Also,Tightening effect that promotes skin contractionYou can also expect it.

VASER liposuction uniquely supports skin tightening while removing fat, resulting in a natural, three-dimensional finish.

The outcome of facial liposuction depends on post-operative care!

Facial liposuction isn't just a matter of suctioning and calling it a day.

Please be aware that post-operative care significantly impacts the final outcome.

 

  • For the first 3 days after surgeryThoroughly coolto reduce swelling

  • After one weekGently massageand adjust the adhesions

  • Limit salt and alcohol intake, and engage in light exercise.to promote blood flow

 

Actually, I myself have had facial liposuction, and I truly felt that "how long you keep up with the massage makes a huge difference in the final result."

Even on busy days, just rolling lightly with a Refa or similar roller makes a world of difference in reducing puffiness and stiffness.

Just as much as the treatment itself,Taking care of yourself is also an important process.What is it?
