Liposuction has evolved from an era focused solely on weight loss to 'Body Contouring,' which shapes the ideal body silhouette.
Until a few years ago, the trend in domestic liposuction emphasized only the before-and-after differences, with claims like “We removed thousands of cc!” or "You've slimmed down by several centimeters!" However, through my own experience performing numerous surgeries and monitoring patients' progress, I've come to realize that "slimmer" does not necessarily equal "more attractive." Removing too much fat to achieve excessive thinness can strip away the feminine curves of the body, leaving a bony, skeletal impression. Additionally, the skin can become thinner, losing its firmness and resulting in a darker complexion. This state hardly qualifies as a 'body you want to show off'.
To create a body you'll want to show off, we believe it's essential to pursue not only the body's contours but also the texture of the skin. By avoiding excessive fat removal, we prevent a decline in the skin's moisture retention capacity, preserving its beautiful texture. Therefore, we recommend combining liposuction with "fat transfer breast augmentation" to achieve beautiful curves and a three-dimensional body line. Fat transfer breast augmentation uses your own fat, resulting in a natural appearance and feel. We also focus on creating natural abdominal muscle lines through abdominoplasty during liposuction, catering to those who exercise diligently but struggle to see results, or those seeking high-design aesthetics. My goal is to enrich patients' lives through body sculpting techniques that go beyond mere slimming—techniques that create a body you'll want to show off.
The eyes are a crucial feature that governs the overall atmosphere of the face. They also significantly impact daily life, as it is said that the majority of information sent to the brain enters through the eyes. Therefore, it is essential for double eyelid surgery to achieve a balanced result in both cosmetic and functional aspects. If you are troubled by puffy-looking eyes, even creating wide double eyelids will not appear beautiful if they do not harmonize with the overall facial atmosphere. The causes of puffy-looking eyes vary from patient to patient. These include eyelid shapes like monolids or deep-set double eyelids, as well as conditions like mild ptosis. Without accurately identifying the cause, not only might you fail to achieve the desired effect, but the procedure could even have the opposite effect.
To achieve natural double eyelids that complement your bone structure and a balanced eye opening, we first identify the root cause of your concerns during a consultation. We then explore the most suitable solution for your needs from a wide range of options, including the suture method, incision method, and ptosis correction. For those troubled by asymmetry around the eyes, Botox injections to balance eyelid muscle tension can also be effective in addition to double eyelid surgery.
For those seeking an even more glamorous look, we can also propose treatments to achieve your ideal eye shape. This includes procedures like epicanthoplasty to make the eyes appear wider, or combining brow lift surgery for individuals with thick eyelids or significant drooping.
If you're using eyelid tape to create double eyelids, you may be troubled by how unnatural they look when you lower your gaze or how easily they come off with sweat. Consult with our clinic, and based on anatomy and experience, we'll meticulously simulate the results to guide you toward natural-looking double eyelids that blend seamlessly with your face.
Wrinkles, hollows, sagging, and other changes caused by aging occur in various areas. For natural anti-aging treatment, it is essential to treat all areas—skin, muscles, fat, and bone—in a balanced manner. For example, if hyaluronic acid or Botox injections are performed only on specific areas of concern, such as just the jawline or just the eye area, it can create an imbalance. This results in those areas becoming overly noticeable and appearing unnatural.
At BIANCA CLINIC, we offer a wide range of options to address all areas, from dermatological treatments to minimally invasive procedures like hyaluronic acid, Botox, and thread lifts, surgical procedures such as facelifts and the Hamra method, and treatments using cutting-edge equipment like Embrace RF. For example, in facial lift treatments addressing sagging contours, we employ the deep plane technique, which allows access to the central facial area. This enables lifting not only the contours but also the midface and nasolabial folds, aiming for a more natural and youthful appearance.
For deep wrinkles etched into the lower eyelid, the open Hamra technique can improve the appearance by removing skin and lifting the orbicularis oculi muscle. However, fine lines may still remain. In such cases, we use Morpheus8 to restore skin firmness and elasticity, smoothing the skin's surface texture. We will propose such combination treatments as needed to provide more satisfying anti-aging care.

I asked about Professor Saiga's motto!
From the very beginning of my career as a cosmetic surgeon, I have performed numerous liposuction procedures. After joining BIANCA CLINIC, I have dedicated myself to even more advanced body contouring treatments. Throughout this journey, continuously improving my surgical skills has been a given,“Counseling Skills”I feel this is also a significant factor that greatly influences the outcome. In counseling for any treatment, we place great importance on listening to the patient's life circumstances and thoroughly explaining the benefits and drawbacks.
For example, suppose the most effective treatment for a particular concern is surgical intervention. However, if the patient has concerns such as "I don't want to damage my skin or body" or "I can't take extended time off during the recovery period," surgical treatment may not satisfy them. We want patients to choose a treatment that fits their lifestyle, taking into account the drawbacks of the procedure, such as scarring and downtime.
Additionally, at our hospital,DowntimeWe are also focusing on initiatives to minimize downtime. For Body Contouring, we employ "next-day suturing," where incisions are closed the day after surgery rather than on the day of the procedure to reduce swelling. Furthermore, on the third day, we apply sponge compression to the suctioned areas to ensure a clean finish, and sutures are removed on the seventh day. We conduct regular follow-up checks and provide detailed instructions on how to manage your recovery to make downtime as comfortable as possible.
Whether you're anxious about treatment or unsure which approach is best, we encourage you to start with a consultation. We carefully assess your condition while considering what's best for you, then propose personalized treatment options—from injectables to surgical procedures—tailored to your individual goals.
The aesthetic medical treatments I prefer to receive are:Botox injectionThis treatment helps prevent and reduce expression lines while defining the jawline.Natural LiftIt's effective. You can see results quickly, making it easy to incorporate even into a busy lifestyle.
Additionally, to maintain healthy, youthful skin, I regularly undergo skin treatments like laser therapy and HydraFacial peels, and I also report on my experiences during these procedures on social media. When introducing new skin treatments, I believe that by first experiencing them myself and feeling their effects, I can provide more accurate advice to my patients. If any treatments catch your interest, please don't hesitate to consult with me.
My daily skincare essentials are:『SkinAmure』All types of items.

Dr. Iwama, who possesses exceptional passion and expertise regarding skin, meticulously developed these cosmetics, so I use them with confidence.
A particularly recommended item is the one that comes out as foam.Facial Cleanser "SA WASH"It gently removes dead skin cells and pore impurities without friction, while also functioning as a mask to enhance skin hydration and radiance. The pleasant texture and scent of the foam have made even the kids enjoy washing their faces.
