What I value most are “precise techniques that turn desired results into reality” and "high safety standards." Fat grafting is not simply a procedure where "injecting fat makes you look younger." The final outcome is significantly influenced by which layer the fat is injected into, how much is injected, and the characteristics of the fat used.

After meticulously examining the appearance of shadows and wrinkles, I employ techniques that look beyond simply adding volume to prevent future signs of aging. I aim for a natural rejuvenation that even calculates how light hits the entire face.

Furthermore, if care is neglected at any stage—from fat harvesting to purification and injection—the survival rate decreases. My commitment lies in treating fat not merely as a “material,” but as the patient's own precious tissue. I meticulously build each step of the process to minimize burden while maximizing its condition. To achieve this, I rigorously adhere to precise, layered injections that are neither excessive nor insufficient.

Fat grafting is a treatment that not only refines facial contours but also addresses sagging skin and promotes skin regeneration through adipose-derived stem cells. To achieve an elegant and refined rejuvenation, we propose a combination of treatments that considers not only current symptoms but also future changes.

“Above all, we value bringing out your natural beauty.
We approach our work with both medical evidence and aesthetic sensibility as our guiding principles.

What I value most in sagging treatments is “finding the right approach together with each individual.” Even though we call it "sagging," the causes are truly varied—skin laxity, fat redistribution, ligament weakening, bone volume loss, and more. Furthermore, the treatment you should choose changes significantly depending on the specific "location" where the sagging appears.

That's precisely why we don't apply the same treatment to everyone. We start by carefully identifying "where and what kind of changes are occurring."

We then combine the unique roles of each procedure—thread lifts, hyaluronic acid, liposuction and fat grafting, laser treatments, facelifts—to propose a customized plan tailored to your facial features and desired downtime. For instance, we reposition or remove excess tissue while adding precisely what's needed to areas lacking volume. By optimizing the "combination" and "sequence" of treatments, we achieve natural-looking yet distinctly noticeable results without unnecessary strain.

I don't believe that stronger treatments are always the right answer. What matters is finding the right balance to help each patient look a little lighter and brighter than before. I prioritize offering personalized proposals tailored to each individual, ensuring they feel tangible results while minimizing burden.

When treating drooping eyelids, what I prioritize above all is thoroughly sharing with the patient both "why they appear heavy = the cause" and "how they wish to change = their ideal."

This is because many patients who come in complaining of "eyelid drooping" already have a specific treatment in mind, yet upon actual examination, a different approach is often more suitable.

I observe the entire face, from the forehead to the area beneath the eyes, rather than focusing solely on the eyelids. Is it sagging skin? Bulging fat? Or a loss of strength in the muscles that lift the eyelids? After carefully diagnosing the cause, I work with the patient to simulate and confirm "what changes will occur when we adjust which areas."

Based on that assessment, we determine whether double eyelid surgery or brow lift surgery is appropriate, if the buried suture method alone is sufficient, or if combining it with a forehead lift would be better. Considering the relative positions of facial features and overall balance, we propose the optimal combination tailored to your eyelids.

The eyelids are not only crucial for one's appearance but also directly impact visual brightness and susceptibility to eye fatigue. I prioritize eyelid treatments that enhance quality of life, not just for cosmetic purposes.

Feel free to come in anytime for a consultation, even if it's just to run a simulation. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to stop by.
