Thoughts

thought

HAs a plastic surgeon at a university hospital, I have specialized in facial plastic surgery and have performed numerous procedures. At BIANCA CLINIC, I draw on my extensive experience as a board-certified plastic surgeon, incorporating elements of aesthetic beauty into treatments.My goal is to achieve both functionaland aesthetic facial refinement through surgery.

By the way, did you know that there are many outstanding surgical techniques from around the world that are still not widely known in Japan?
What I aim to do is to develop, adapt,and offer these advanced procedures specifically for Japanese and Asian patients.For example, the "Deep Plane Facelift," which I specialize in, and "Preservation Rhinoplasty," a highly refined approach to nose surgery, were originally recognized as standard techniques abroad.

My ultimate goal is to utilize world-class, advanced treatments to address a wide range of concerns, including those that have traditionally been considered difficult to improve. To make this a reality, I am fully committed to maintaining my role as a leading specialist in plastic surgery and continuously refining my skills and knowledge.

Face Lift

Particulars

Commitment

The "Deep Plane Facelift" is an exceptional surgical technique that addresses sagging in the midface—an area traditional facelift procedures have struggled to improve. While it is a standard treatment in Europe and the United States, it has long been underutilized in Japan. BIANCA CLINIC was one of the first in Japan to adopt the "Deep Plane Facelift", accumulating extensive experience with this procedure.

Facelift surgery is one of the most effective methods for rejuvenating the facial contours. However, traditional techniques often fall short; even if the jawline is lifted, the results can appear unnatural if the midface remains unchanged. The "Deep Plane Facelift" overcomes this limitation by lifting both the face line and the midface, achieving a more natural, cohesive lift. Additionally, it offers long-lasting results compared to conventional facelifts. This procedure is particularly well-suited to the bone structure and nasolabial fold concerns common among Japanese individuals, making it an ideal option for patients in Japan.

Complementary procedures that pair well with the "Deep Plane Facelift" include the "Hamra Method" (a technique for addressing under-eye wrinkles) and the "Temple Lift." For example, if sagging occurs around the temples following a facelift, a "Temple Lift" can restore balance, resulting in a more natural and harmonious facial appearance.

At BIANCA CLINIC, our "Deep Plane Facelift" includes lifting not only the midface but also the neck area. Often referred to as the "king of anti-sagging treatments," this procedure provides comprehensive rejuvenation. If you’re looking for a dramatic lift to restore your youthful appearance and truly experience the transformative effects of a facelift, we encourage you to consider the "Deep Plane Facelift."

Rhinoplasty

Particulars

Commitment

"Preservation rhinoplasty" is a specialized nose surgery that reconstructs the nose both aesthetically and functionally while maintaining its natural structure. I have had the privilege of performing nose surgery for patients not only from Japan but also from countries such as China, Korea, the United States, Africa, and India. Among Japanese surgeons, I am confident in saying that I have one of the most extensive experiences with "preservation rhinoplasty."

One common nasal shape among Asians is the hooked nose, which can significantly influence the overall impression of the face. Many patients feel self-conscious about this feature. In treating a hooked nose, it is essential not only to refine the protruding nasal bridge but also to shape the nose as a whole to achieve a more satisfying result. Preservation rhinoplasty, which addresses everything from the area between the eyebrows to the nasal bridge and tip, is particularly effective for treating hooked noses.
This technique preserves the patient's natural tissue while shaping the nose, offering several key advantages: minimal downtime and long-lasting results.

By avoiding the destruction of the nasal structure, this method allows patients to safely achieve their desired nasal shape.
I take pride in crafting natural, refined, and beautifully pointed nose tips.
If you are concerned about your hooked nose or want a more defined appearance, please feel free to consult with us.

Temporal Lift

Particulars

Commitment

A temporal lift involves making small incisions near the temples, either along the hairline or within it, to address wrinkles and sagging skin around the eyes, including the corners, eyebrows, and cheeks.

As we age, sagging skin around the eyes becomes more pronounced. When the outer portion of the upper eyelid droops, it can create a hooded effect, leading to both functional and cosmetic concerns. One common treatment is a subbrow incision to remove excess skin. However, if sagging persists even after a subbrow incision, a temporal lift can be an effective solution. By addressing the sagging facial fascia through an incision along the temple hairline, this procedure can improve the appearance of drooping eyelids.

For rejuvenating the temple area, hyaluronic acid injections to address volume loss are a common choice. However, fewer patients pursue treatments specifically for sagging skin. The temporal lift offers the advantage of scars that are almost entirely hidden within the hairline, making them discreet and difficult to notice. If you are seeking a natural and subtle lift around the eyes, this procedure is highly recommended.

Thoughts on the treatments for facial sagging
We asked the doctor about it!

What is most important to you
when performing the Deep Plane Facelift?

What I value most in my practice islistening carefully to each patient’s concernsand proposing the most suitable procedurefor their individual needs.

When it comes to treating facial sagging, I believe the "Deep Plane Facelift," which lifts the mid-face, jawline, and neck simultaneously, is the best option. That said, there are many other effective treatments for addressing sagging. These include the forehead lift, brow lift, temporal lift, mid-face lift (such as the Hamra method), and platysmaplasty (commonly known as the Pelican procedure), among others.

At BIANCA CLINIC, I take great care with every surgical procedure I offer. From the "Deep Plane Facelift" to other treatments, I thoughtfully consider questions like, "What is the best approach for this patient?" or "What treatments work well in combination?" My goal is to provide solutions tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

What are your favorite aesthetic medical treatments?

I personally favor equipment-based treatments likeHIFU and Volnewmer, which aim to improve sagging skin. I believe that addressing all layers of the face—from the fascia to the epidermis—is essential for effective sagging treatment. In this regard, HIFU and Volnewmer are excellent options because they can apply heat to a wide area, delivering comprehensive results.

At BIANCA CLINIC, doctors and nurses collaborate to fine-tune the depth and vectors of heat application in HIFU and Volnewmer treatments. This is part of our ongoing daily research to ensure optimal outcomes. The BIANCA nursing team, with their hands-on experience assisting in surgeries like facelifts, has a deep understanding of the face’s internal structures. This expertise enhances the quality of the treatments we offer.

If you are concerned about sagging skin, I highly recommend trying the equipment treatments at BIANCA CLINIC. I believe you will be very satisfied with the results.

What is your recommended
Skin Care

I’ll admit, I’m a bit lazy when it comes to skincare. That’s why I rely heavily on Skin Amure, a line of products developed by Dr. Iwama. Skin AmureWe rely heavily on it.

Among their offerings, I particularly love the "SA SERUM" beauty serum and the "SA WASH" carbonated foam face wash. My primary focus is on cleansing my skin thoroughly to remove dirt and retaining moisture to keep my skin healthy. Cleans dirt and keeps moistureI'm conscious of keeping my skin healthy.

I also occasionally undergo "vampire facial" treatments to rejuvenate my skin. By injecting growth factors into the face, this treatment helps to cultivate and revitalize the foundation of the skin.

What are your hobbies and special skills?

My hobby isreading overseas research papers. However, with the spread and development of social media, it has recently become much easier to see "before and after" results of surgical techniques and treatments performed by highly skilled surgeons abroad—something that was previously only accessible through academic papers.Additionally, I’ve been getting more opportunities to interact with doctors from other countries. While I strive to share knowledge with them, I am reminded daily of the need to further improve my English conversation skills.
These days, we are in an era where patients are willing to travel beyond Japan, to places like Korea and other countries, to receive the best surgical care.I want to be a surgeon who is chosen not just in Japan but globally. To achieve this, I treat each surgery with utmost care, striving to make every procedure my best. I will continue to refine my skills, one case at a time, so I can confidently meet the expectations of patients from around the world.
