First, we will introduce the case of Dr. Nagura, a famous liposuction doctor.
CASE 01
In their 20s
【Treatment details】Liposuction (cheeks + under chin), buccal fat, primalift
【Case explanation]】The face line was sluggish due to buccal fat. By removing fat, my skin becomes less sagging and has a beautiful contour no matter which direction it wraps around.
CASE 02
In their 30s
【Treatment details】 Liposuction (cheeks/under chin), Jowl fat, Maeler fat, Embrace, Secret lift, VOV lift, fat injection (cheeks)
【Case explanation】 People whose lower cheekbones appear sunken. By injecting the harvested fat into the cheeks, a beautiful contour with no dents was created. The fat under my chin has also been reduced.
CASE 03
In their 40s
【Treatment details】 Liposuction (cheeks + under chin), jowl fat, mailer fat, secret lift, VOV lift
【Case explanation】 People who have fat on the side of their mouth that makes their outline look square. By removing fat from the sides of the mouth, the contours have changed to a feminine one. Also, by removing the fat under the chin, the face line from an angle became more beautiful.
CASE 04
In their 50s
【Treatment details】Liposuction (cheeks/under chin), Jowl fat, Maeler fat, Secret lift, VOV lift
【Case description】 A patient had fat in his cheeks and under his chin, making his face look round. By taking the appropriate amount of fat, you can maintain a rounded shape while creating a clean contour.
CASE 05
In their 60s
【Treatment details】Liposuction (cheeks + under chin), jowl fat, mailer fat, buccal fat, secret lift, primalift, VOV lift
【Case explanation】 When you look at it from the front, it doesn't look like there's a lot of fat, but when you look at it from an angle, you can see that there is fat. The sagging area under the chin due to age has been transformed into a more youthful face by removing fat and lifting it with a thread lift.
