FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
Double Eyelid Surgery (Incisional / Non-Incisional)
What is the difference between the double-stitch method and the double-incision method?
The double-eyelid suture method involves using sutures to secure the eyelid and create a double eyelid, while the double-eyelid incision method involves making an incision in the eyelid skin to form a double eyelid crease.
The suture method tends to result in fewer scars and less downtime, while the incision method is suitable for those who want a more defined double eyelid or one that is less likely to fade.
Who is the double-incision method suitable for?
The double-incision suture method is ideal for those who want double eyelids with as little cutting as possible or who want to minimize downtime.
Depending on the thickness and sagging of the eyelids, as well as the desired shape of the double eyelid, the incision method may be the best option.
Blepharoplasty
What results can I expect from eyelid surgery?
Eyelid surgery can make your eyes appear larger and help correct the appearance of your eyes, such as upturned or drooping eyelids.
Depending on your concerns regarding the shape and position of your eyes, as well as the thickness of your eyelids, we will consider procedures such as the "Glamorous Line" procedure, inner corner blepharoplasty, and outer corner blepharoplasty.
What kinds of procedures are available for eye area surgery?
At YAYOI CLINIC, we offer procedures such as glamorous line creation, droopy outer corner eyelid surgery, inner corner eyelid surgery, outer corner eyelid surgery, epicanthoplasty, and upper eyelid fat removal.
We will consider the most suitable procedure based on the look you want for your eyes and the current shape of your eyes.
Sagging & Dark Circles Under the Eyes
What results can I expect from treatments for under-eye sagging and dark circles?
You can reduce puffiness, dark circles, and sagging under the eyes to achieve a refreshed, youthful-looking eye area.
Since the condition under the eyes varies from person to person, we will determine the most appropriate treatment—whether it involves removing the fat that causes puffiness or repositioning the fat—based on your individual needs.
What kinds of treatments are available for sagging skin and dark circles under the eyes?
At YAYOI CLINIC, we perform transconjunctival fat removal, the superficial Hamra procedure, the deep Hamra procedure, and lower eyelid lift surgery.
We examine puffiness or hollows under the eyes, as well as sagging skin, and determine the most appropriate treatment method based on each individual’s condition.
Sagging Eyelids
Can sagging eyelids be improved with treatment?
Yes. It can help improve sagging eyelids and make your eyes appear more open and less heavy.
The appropriate treatment method depends on the degree of sagging and the condition of the eyelids.
What are the treatment options for sagging eyelids?
At YAYOI CLINIC, we perform procedures such as ptosis correction (MT method and incision method), brow lift, brow lift with ROOF excision, upper eyelid fat removal, and upper eyelid skin excision.
The most appropriate procedure varies depending on the degree of sagging, the thickness of the eyelids, and how wide the eyes open.
Face Contour
What kind of changes can I expect from facial contouring?
Facial contouring can help define a sagging jawline, add volume to sunken areas on the cheeks and temples, and improve the overall balance of the face.
We will determine the appropriate treatment method based on your specific concerns, such as fat distribution, lack of volume, or sagging.
Can facial contouring improve a sagging jawline?
Yes. If your jawline appears saggy due to fat in areas such as the cheeks or under the chin, you can reduce the fat through procedures like liposuction to achieve a more defined contour.
If there is also sagging, we may combine treatments such as thread lifts or Botox.
lipoplasty
What kinds of procedures are available for lip augmentation?
At YAYOI CLINIC, we perform procedures such as lip lifts (shortening of the philtrum), corner-of-the-mouth lifts, lip reduction, and alar base implants (noble nose surgery).
We'll discuss the best treatment options based on your concerns and desired results.
Can a lip reshaping procedure shorten the philtrum?
Yes. With a lip lift (philtrum shortening), excess skin under the nose is removed to make the philtrum appear shorter.
Since it also lifts the upper lip, it is suitable for those who want to improve the overall balance of their mouth area.
Thread Lift
What are the benefits of thread lifts?
Thread lifts can lift sagging skin along the jawline, cheeks, and around the mouth, helping to create a more defined facial contour. As the inserted threads are absorbed by the body, this process is expected to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which can help maintain the skin’s firmness and elasticity.
How many thread lifts should I get?
The number of threads required varies depending on the degree of sagging, the area to be lifted, and the type of thread used.
At YAYOI CLINIC, we assess the condition of your face before determining the type and number of threads to use, as well as their insertion points.
Extendermaster
What are the benefits of Ponyorin?
Ponyorin involves inserting threads into the nasolabial folds and the sagging skin around the mouth, which is expected to smooth out unevenness around the mouth.
This treatment is ideal for those who want to naturally tighten the skin around their mouth or who are starting to notice mild sagging.
Is Ponyorin effective for nasolabial folds?
Yes. You can expect it to help smooth out the mild sagging and unevenness that cause nasolabial folds.
Depending on the cause and severity of sagging, we may combine treatments such as hyaluronic acid injections and thread lifts.
Shopping Lift
What are the benefits of a shopping elevator?
Shopping lifts are expected to help firm sagging skin and improve skin firmness and elasticity.
By inserting ultra-fine threads under the skin, this treatment stimulates the production of collagen and elastin to achieve a natural lift.
Who is the shopping lift best suited for?
This treatment is ideal for those concerned about sagging skin, those who want to naturally tighten their jawline, and those who want to improve their skin's firmness and elasticity.
This treatment is a popular choice for those who want to keep downtime to a minimum.

Liposuction (Cheeks, Under the Chin, Upper Arms)
What results can I expect from liposuction?
Liposuction can help reduce excess fat in the cheeks, under the chin, and on the upper arms, helping you achieve a sleeker silhouette. It can help improve a double chin, sagging along the jawline, and fat on the upper arms that is difficult to lose through dieting alone.
How much fat can be removed in a single liposuction procedure?
As a general guideline, the recommended amount of fat to be removed is about 10 to 20 cc from the face and about 200 to 800 cc from both upper arms combined.
The actual amount of fat that can be removed varies depending on the treatment area and the initial amount of fat.
