incisional hamula procedure

An incision is made 1 to 2 mm below the lash line on the lower eyelid, and the bulging orbital fat is moved to the hollow area to flatten the bulge and sulcus. This method improves dark circles without having to remove the orbital fat. At the same time, excess skin can be removed, making it particularly effective for those who are concerned about excess or sagging skin.

It can also improve wrinkles, sagging, dark circles, and furrows in the lower eyelids in total, and can contour the area from the lower eyelids to the cheeks. Thus, the incisional hamula procedure is a comprehensive surgical procedure that can solve multiple problems around the eyes at once, and the best surgical method is selected according to the symptoms.

The incisional hamula and back hamula methods each have their own characteristics and advantages.

Advantages of the incisional hamula method

• Improvement of sagging and wrinkles due to aging in the 30's to 60's
• Puffiness caused by fat under the eyes and concavity and sagging can be improved at the same time
• Dark circles can be improved without removing fat.

Advantages of the back hamula method

• Recommended for those who want to change their impression, such as those in their 20s to 50s.
• No scars are left on the skin surface because the approach is made from the backside.
• Puffiness and concavity caused by fat under the eyes can be improved at the same time
• Dark circles can be improved without removing fat.

In general, the incisional hamula technique is suitable for older age groups and improves fat, depressions, and sagging skin under the eyes at the same time. On the other hand, the back hamula procedure is suitable for younger patients and improves the under-eye fat and depressions without leaving scars on the skin surface.

Both can be improved without removing fat, but the back hamula method has the additional advantage of leaving no scar and low risk of complications. However, if there is excess skin due to aging, the incisional hamula is a sure bet. Other factors such as surgery time and downtime also vary, so it is important to choose the best method for your individual needs.
