About Dr. Nagura, Who Provides This Explanation

PERSON 01

15 Years of Experience in Aesthetic Surgery – A Liposuction Specialist

15 Years of Experience in Aesthetic Surgery – A Liposuction Specialist
Dr. Nagura has been awarded the title of Japan’s No.1 Aesthetic Surgeon for two consecutive years and has presented at more than ten academic conferences both domestically and internationally. He is an expert doctor at the forefront of liposuction techniques.

Additionally, he holds outstanding achievements, being Japan’s No.1 in the number of liposuction and buccal fat removal procedures performed for seven consecutive years and No.1 in thread lift procedures for six consecutive years. He has also handled numerous complex and revision surgeries.

With his extensive case experience, exceptional skills, and profound knowledge, Dr. Nagura will explain the risk of facial hollowing after liposuction.

Why Is It Said That "Liposuction Causes Hollowing"?

POINT 01

The Misconception That Fat Decreases With Age

The Misconception That Fat Decreases With Age
There are several misconceptions behind the belief that liposuction causes hollowing.

Many people assume that "fat decreases with age," but in reality, this varies depending on the area.
For example, while individuals in their 80s or 90s may appear more skeletal, those in their 60s or 70s often have increased fat around the cheeks and jawline.
In particular, sagging fat, resembling that of a bulldog, is a common occurrence.

POINT 02

Improper Post-Liposuction Care Increases the Risk

If liposuction is not performed correctly or if post-operative care is inadequate, the face may appear hollowed.
The main causes of this are excessive fat removal and failing to consider skin laxity before undergoing the procedure.

Key Points to Prevent Facial Hollowing After Liposuction

POINT 01

Determining Which Areas to Remove and Preserve

In facial liposuction, it is crucial to consider the balance between areas where fat accumulates and areas where it decreases.
If too much fat is removed from high cheek areas (malar fat), the face is more likely to hollow in the future, making careful planning essential.

POINT 02

Dr. Nagura’s "Customized Procedure"

Dr. Nagura carefully analyzes the facial structure and removes only unnecessary fat while preserving essential fat.
By tailoring the procedure to each patient, he achieves natural and beautiful results.

POINT 03

Balancing With Fat Grafting

In some cases, combining liposuction with fat grafting can help balance facial volume.
With his expertise as Japan’s No.1 in fat grafting procedures, Dr. Nagura can create a well-defined facial contour while maintaining natural volume.

Choosing a Procedure That Minimizes Liposuction Risks

POINT 01

Selecting a Trustworthy Specialist

Selecting a Trustworthy Specialist
Many clinics and doctors perform liposuction today, but it is actually a highly advanced procedure requiring specialized skills.
Choosing a doctor with extensive experience and proven expertise is essential.

POINT 02

Carefully Check Downtime and Post-Operative Care

Proper post-operative care is crucial after liposuction.
Dr. Nagura’s procedures minimize downtime and ensure thorough follow-up during the recovery process.

Many before-and-after cases from Dr. Nagura’s contouring surgeries are available on YouTube.
One advantage of choosing a highly experienced doctor is that you can review the progress of patients with similar facial structures or who have undergone the same procedure.

QUESTION 05

How to care for contractures?

Contractures (hardness of wounds) can be healed quickly by improving blood flow, so massage can help contractures heal quickly.
