Please refer to this article if you are in Hiroshima and are not sure whether to have the front or back hamula surgery.
What is the Superficial Hamula Method in the first place? How does the procedure work to correct sagging under the eyes?
The Superficial Hamula procedure is being considered by those who are concerned about sagging and dark circles in the lower eyelids. First, let's take a look at the basics of how this procedure, which moves the puffiness under the eyes into the hollows and adjusts the unevenness, approaches sagging and hollows.
What is the ■ surface hamula method?
The table hamula method is,The incision is made at the eyelash line of the lower eyelid, and the puffiness (orbital fat), the main cause of sagging and dark circles under the eyes, is not simply removed,Cosmetic surgery to reposition and fix the dimpled areaIt is.
This differs from "blepharoplasty," which simply removes fat, in that it can correct both puffiness and hollowness under the eyes. It is expected to smooth the unevenness around the eyes and reduce the appearance of dark circles.
■Mechanism of sagging and dark circles under the eyes
Sagging and dark circles under the eyes are caused by a complex combination of factors.
The orbicularis oculi muscle, the muscle around the eyes, deteriorates,Ligaments supporting the eyeball loosen, and the orbital fat pushed by the weight of the eyeball protrudes forward.。
The difference between the fat bulge and the hollow under the skin thus created accentuates the shadows under the eyes and becomes prominent as the so-called "dark circles" that many people suffer from. In addition, the decrease in collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid that accompanies aging causes the skin to lose its firmness and accelerates sagging.
Expected effects of the ■ surface hamula method
The main effects expected from the table hamula method are as follows
- Regulates puffiness and sagging under the eyes
- Repositioning of orbital fat into the hollows under the eyes to smooth out the under-eye bumps and reduce the appearance of dark circles that appear as shadows.
- Relieves the tired look caused by shadows around the eyes
- By adjusting excess skin at the same time, the skin itself may be approached for loosening and fine lines and wrinkles
- Fixing fat in the proper position makes it easier to maintain a well-defined state for a long period of time.
The main feature of this treatment is that it can approach everything from puffiness to loose skin around the eyes in a single session.
How is it different from the back hamula method? Check which is right for you
Next, we will explain the characteristics of the back hamula method. Please check whether the front or back hamula method is more suitable for you.
What is the ■ back hamula method?
The back hamula method (transconjunctival hamula method) is,An incision is made on the back of the lower eyelid, and the orbital fat that causes puffiness under the eyes is moved and relocated to the hollow area of the lower eyelid.It is the same as the Superficial Hamula. Using your own fat, the under-eye irregularities are smoothed and easily maintained in the same way as with the superficial hamuloplasty.
The major difference from the front hamula technique lies in the location of the skin incision. The back hamula method is approached from the back of the eyelid, so scars are less noticeable on the surface of the face. It is also less likely to be noticed by others, and the natural shape of the tear troughs can be easily preserved.
■Front hamula and back hamula methods compared by merit and demerit
The front hamula and back hamula methods have different approaches, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is important to select the appropriate procedure after careful consultation with your doctor, taking into consideration the condition of your under-eye area, your desired result, and the length of downtime you can spend.
