Procedure Q&A

This technique creates a natural crease by connecting tissues inside the eyelid while minimizing skin incisions. It may suit relatively thin eyelids without severe skin laxity; suitability depends on your anatomy and desired crease.

It may be considered when the eyelid skin is not significantly sagging and extensive skin or tissue removal is unnecessary. Skin thickness, fat volume and any existing crease are assessed before choosing the method.

Swelling is usually most noticeable during the first few days and gradually decreases. Mild residual swelling may remain, and the crease needs time to settle naturally.

Natural adhesion minimizes skin incisions, while the incisional method opens the skin to remove or reorganize tissue and create the crease. An incisional approach may be more suitable when lax skin or excess fat is present.

It may be considered when the upper-eyelid skin is significantly lax or fat and other tissues need to be adjusted. The surgeon can directly assess and refine the tissues while creating the crease.

Initial swelling can last longer than with natural adhesion. Major swelling gradually improves, while residual swelling and crease stabilization can take several weeks to months.

You may carefully wash areas away from the incision from the day of surgery. Keep water and cleanser off the sutured area; washing that area is generally advised from the day after suture removal.

Start eye makeup only after the sutures are removed and the incision is sufficiently stable. Avoid rubbing the eyes or applying strong pressure during cleansing in the early recovery period.

Upper blepharoplasty removes or adjusts age-related excess upper-eyelid skin and necessary tissues to relieve a heavy, tired appearance. It may also be considered when sagging makes the eyes feel heavy or limits vision.

Double-eyelid surgery primarily creates a crease, while upper blepharoplasty focuses on age-related skin and tissue laxity. The method is chosen according to the actual condition of the eyelids rather than age alone.

Swelling and bruising may occur around the eyelids and gradually decrease. The time required for the crease and tissues to settle naturally varies by individual.

The goal is not simply to remove as much skin as possible. Planning considers your original eye shape and expression so the heavy appearance can be improved without an excessive change.

Lower blepharoplasty addresses several age-related under-eye changes, including loose skin, wrinkles and protruding fat. Skin, fat and surrounding tissues are adjusted according to the condition of the lower eyelid.

Fat repositioning focuses on bulging fat and the hollow below it. Lower blepharoplasty more broadly addresses under-eye aging, including loose skin and wrinkles, and may be more suitable when skin laxity is significant.

It may suit mature patients with loose skin and wrinkles as well as protruding under-eye fat. The procedure is selected after evaluating fat volume, skin elasticity and lower-eyelid tissues.

Swelling and bruising can occur initially and improve over time. When planning around an important event, allow time not only for early recovery but also for residual swelling and tissue settling.

This surgery moves protruding under-eye fat into areas that need volume to smooth hollows and uneven contours. It aims to reduce height differences and shadows that create a tired appearance.

It may suit people with bulging under-eye fat and a shadowed groove below it. If skin laxity is significant, fat repositioning alone may be insufficient and lower blepharoplasty or another method may be needed.

Swelling and bruising may occur, with initial swelling often improving over several days to one or two weeks. Residual swelling and natural tissue settling can require additional time.

Use eye ointment and drops for the prescribed dose and duration. Some approaches through the conjunctiva may not require suture removal, so do not use a suture-removal date as a universal stopping point. Follow instructions based on your recovery.

Natural aging continues after surgery, so the skin and tissues can change over time. Long-term changes vary according to skin elasticity, aging speed and other individual factors.

Small scalp incisions and an endoscope are used to view and lift sagging forehead and brow tissues. It may be considered when brow and forehead descent makes the eyes look heavy or tired.

It may suit patients whose lowered brows cause upper-eyelid skin to overlap or make the eyes look heavy. It is important to determine whether the issue starts in the eyelid itself or from the forehead and brow.

A forehead lift moves the forehead and brows upward, while upper blepharoplasty directly removes or adjusts lax upper-eyelid skin. The starting point of sagging and overall facial balance guide the choice.

Hair washing is generally possible after the bandage is removed the day after surgery. While sutures or staples remain, wash gently without rubbing the incisions and dry the scalp thoroughly with cool air.

Hair may temporarily stop growing or appear thinner near scalp incisions. It usually grows back over time, although the recovery rate varies.

Swelling and bruising can occur around the forehead and eyes, usually improving over the first one to two weeks. Additional time is needed for tissues to adapt and look more natural.

Because sagging forehead and brow tissues are repositioned directly, long-term improvement may be expected. Natural aging continues, so longevity varies with skin condition, aging speed and lifestyle.

A thread lift is a nonsurgical procedure that places medical threads under the skin to lift sagging tissue and refine facial contours. Thread type, number and placement are selected for the face shape and direction of sagging.

It can be used for sagging cheeks, jawline, facial contour and areas around the nasolabial folds. Suitable areas vary with face shape, fat volume and skin elasticity.

Noticeable swelling and bruising may last about one to two weeks. Tenderness or discomfort when pressing the treated area can continue for about three to four weeks.

Immediate tightness and swelling are not the final result. Changes are assessed as swelling and bruising settle. The effect is not permanent, and its duration varies with thread characteristics, tissue condition and aging; a fixed duration cannot be guaranteed.

The number depends on face size, degree of sagging, skin thickness, fat volume and desired correction. Selecting the right type and placement is more important than simply using more threads.

Temporary dimpling or unevenness can occur while the threads pull the tissue. It usually improves as swelling decreases and tissues settle; severe or persistent symptoms should be checked by the clinic.

Strong massage, facial treatments and radiofrequency or ultrasound home devices are generally advised only after at least one month. Avoid strong pressure while the threads stabilize.

Limit excessive mouth opening and strong facial muscle movement early on. Avoid tough foods, excessive yawning and strong facial massage that could stress the treated areas.

Ultherapy delivers focused ultrasound energy to selected depths under the skin to stimulate tissue contraction and regenerative responses. It is used to improve facial contours and skin firmness without surgery.

Changes develop over time rather than reaching their final effect immediately. Firmness and lifting often begin to become noticeable from around four weeks after treatment.

It may be used on areas such as the jawline, cheeks and under the chin where laxity is a concern. Treatment area and energy level are selected according to facial shape and skin thickness.

Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to encourage firmness in the skin and subcutaneous tissues. A thread lift physically repositions sagging tissue with inserted threads; the suitable option depends on severity and goals.

TenTherma uses radiofrequency energy to heat the skin and encourage firmness and tightening. It can be applied to the full face or selected areas according to skin condition.

As tissue changes develop, firmness and tightening often become noticeable from about four weeks after treatment. Timing varies with skin condition and treatment intensity.

It may be considered for thinning skin, reduced elasticity or overall facial tightening. It may also be combined with other lifting treatments according to skin thickness and laxity.

Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound, while TenTherma uses radiofrequency. They act differently and target different tissue depths, so either a single or combined plan may be considered.

Titanium Lifting is a nonsurgical laser treatment used for skin tightening, facial contour and tone improvement. It may suit patients seeking lifting with relatively little downtime.

Some people notice contour or tightening changes immediately. The degree of improvement varies with skin condition and the number of sessions.

Additional sessions may be planned after one treatment depending on skin condition and goals. The appropriate number and interval should be determined after assessment.

The devices use different energies and mechanisms. Ultherapy targets deeper lifting with focused ultrasound, while Titanium Lifting can address tightening, facial contour and skin tone together.

Onda is a nonsurgical treatment that delivers microwave energy to the skin and subcutaneous tissue. It may be used to improve facial contours, under-chin fullness and skin firmness.

It can be useful where fat and laxity coexist, such as under the chin and along the jawline. Suitability depends on fat volume, skin elasticity and facial shape.

Some people notice an early change in contour or skin, followed by further changes as tissues respond. Timing and degree vary with skin and fat condition.

It may be combined with Ultherapy, radiofrequency or other energy treatments according to laxity, fat volume and goals. Whether to combine them on the same day or space them apart is decided after assessment.

Rejuran is a skin-booster injection used to improve overall skin condition, elasticity, texture and fine lines. It may be considered when aging has reduced firmness or made the skin rough.

It may help with dryness, fine lines, reduced elasticity and uneven texture. The number and interval of sessions are planned according to skin condition and goals.

Small raised bumps can appear immediately because the product is injected into the skin. They usually subside naturally, with duration varying by skin thickness, dose and treatment area.

Some change may be noticed after one session, but a series may be planned depending on skin condition and desired results. The appropriate schedule is determined after assessment.

MCT Meta Cell is an autologous blood-based anti-aging treatment. Plasma- and platelet-based components are separated from the patient’s blood, processed with the MCT system’s light- and heat-based PBM technology, and applied to the skin to support condition, elasticity and texture.

It may be considered for reduced elasticity, rough texture, fine lines, dryness and an overall decline in skin condition. It is intended more for skin regeneration and overall conditioning than for filling a specific area.

Blood is collected and the required autologous components are separated, usually by centrifugation. They are then processed with the MCT device and may be injected into facial skin according to skin condition and treatment goals.

Many skin boosters inject externally manufactured ingredients. MCT Meta Cell instead uses components obtained from the patient’s own blood; suitability depends on skin condition and treatment goals.

This treatment aims to support changes in skin condition and regeneration rather than create immediate volume. The timing varies, and improvements in texture or elasticity may be noticed gradually.

One or multiple sessions may be planned according to skin condition and goals. The appropriate number and interval are determined after assessing aging and recovery.

When injected directly, temporary redness, swelling, small bumps or bruising may occur at injection sites. These usually improve over time, but recovery varies with skin condition and injection method.

Avoid strong irritation while the skin is temporarily sensitive or red. Timing depends on the treatment method and skin condition, so follow the post-treatment instructions.

Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, heated rooms and excessive alcohol immediately after treatment. Resume normal activities after redness and swelling have settled.

A combined plan may be considered according to skin condition and goals. Whether treatments are performed together or spaced apart should be decided after assessment.

Yes. It uses plasma- and platelet-based components obtained from the patient’s blood. The required components are separated, processed with the MCT system and used for skin treatment.

PRP separates platelet-rich plasma from the patient’s blood. MCT additionally processes autologous blood-based components using light- and heat-based PBM technology.
