Hello, this is Inique.

To have a face that makes others feel positively toward you,

a slim face shape together with

a well-balanced harmony of the eyes, nose, and mouth

is important.

However, because people are not perfect,

everyone tends to have at least one area

that feels less than ideal.

To address these areas,

many people choose plastic surgery.

Compared to the past, perceptions of plastic surgery

have become much more mainstream,

and it is now no longer seen as a burdensome operation

but as one way to improve aesthetic concerns.

There are plastic surgeries for various areas,

but because the eyes account for such a large portion of the face,

there are always people who want eye surgery.

Today, for those interested in eye surgery,

we would like to explain the methods and know-how

used at Inique.

When it comes to eye surgery, representative procedures include

double eyelid surgery, dark circle surgery, canthoplasty, and under-eye fat repositioning.

The method we want to explain today is

dark circle surgery,

which is needed by people who are often told that they look sleepy

or tired.

We often think that dark circles simply occur because of

lack of sleep and fatigue.

Of course, if they are caused by fatigue,

they may improve with rest and sleep alone,

but if they do not improve even after proper rest,

there may be other factors involved.

The causes of dark circles are more varied than you might expect.

First, not getting enough sleep

When sleep is insufficient, circulation around the eyes decreases,

which can make dark circles stand out more.

Second, genetic causes

If other family members have dark circles,

they are more likely to appear due to inherited factors.

Third, excessive stress

The more stress you are under

or the more difficult things are psychologically,

the more severe dark circles can become.

This is because when circulation drops, the color of the blood vessels

becomes darker.

Fourth, insufficient water intake

If you do not drink much water,

dark circles may appear as a sign of dehydration.

Once dark circles appear, they are not easy to get rid of,

so it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle

even in daily life.

First, manage the area around the eyes with massage

Massaging the skin around the eyes can help improve circulation.

Second, maintain a regular daily routine

Getting enough sleep without becoming overly tired

is key to prevention.

Third, use sunscreen

Strong sunlight can make dark circles worse,

so when going outside, be sure to apply sunscreen before you leave.

Fourth, apply cold compresses around the eyes

If you place cucumber slices or a cold spoon

around the eyes as a compress,

it can help reduce swelling

and improve circulation, which in turn helps improve dark circles.

However, if you are still not satisfied

even after making these efforts,

you may consider dark circle surgery.

Inique’s method for improving dark circles

can be divided into two types depending on the condition.

These are under-eye fat repositioning and lower blepharoplasty.

By selecting the appropriate method according to each person’s skin

and degree of sagging,

dark circle surgery can be performed.

Inique’s dark circle surgery,

under-eye fat repositioning, works by improving the shadowing

caused by protruding or sagging fat under the eyes.

Rather than removing the protruding fat indiscriminately,

it is performed in a repositioning format.

After opening the SAC membrane and breaking up the fat mass

into smaller pieces,

it is smoothed out to complete the procedure.

Compared to the methods commonly used in the past,

this approach can be performed without damaging the original structure,

which helps reduce bleeding, bruising, and swelling.

When performing dark circle surgery,

under-eye fat repositioning uses the Encore Ultrapulse laser.

This laser has very strong output,

allowing precise application to the target area.

The dark circle surgery introduced this time is lower blepharoplasty.

Lower blepharoplasty is a suitable method for improving dark circles

that appear due to sagging skin caused by aging.

By appropriately removing sagging skin

and tissue under the eyes,

it improves dullness and firmness in the under-eye area.
