Why we’re chosen Reasons We Are Chosen

Under the current system, a physician with only a medical license, even one with little experience, may perform cosmetic surgery. At KAI CLINIC TOKYO, we put our patients' safety and the precision of the result first, and we limit operating surgeons to those who hold board certification in plastic surgery.

Board-certified plastic surgeons have completed a rigorous training program recognized by the Japan Medical Specialty Board and have systematically mastered everything from handling skin, soft tissue and bone to precise suturing and tissue reconstruction, passing a demanding examination. In contour surgery, where millimeter-level precision is required, the anatomical knowledge and technique built in plastic surgery are indispensable.

What KAI CLINIC TOKYO aims for is not to offer a wide range of procedures evenly, but to pursue, as deeply as we can, the fields that demand advanced skill.

Among them, osteotomy (contouring and double-jaw surgery), which works directly on the facial skeleton, is a specialty that requires especially deep anatomical knowledge and practiced technique even within cosmetic surgery. A slight difference in design or handling greatly affects the impression of the whole face, and the change lasts for life. We have made osteotomy the core of our practice, and our experienced board-certified plastic surgeons have faced every single operation with sincerity.

Many people imagine osteotomy as "a face so swollen you cannot go out in public for a while." Preparing to stay in for a month or more is the usual picture of osteotomy downtime.

At KAI CLINIC TOKYO, we achieve downtime that overturns this conventional wisdom: careful technique that keeps bleeding to a minimum, precise surgery that does not take too long, delicate care that lessens the burden on tissue, whole-body management by an experienced anesthesiologist, and thorough aftercare including post-operative IV drips. Doing all of this thoroughly makes the short downtime possible. Many patients who have had surgery tell us, "It swelled less than I expected."

We also aim for a natural result: a clear change, yet not an "operated" face, but one that looks as if it had always been yours. Short downtime and natural beauty, together: this is the form of osteotomy we have pursued.

Changing only one feature does not always bring the whole face to the ideal. The height of the nose affects how the eyes look, and the contour line, in balance with the nose and mouth, shapes the overall impression. When you move one spot by a single millimeter, the change always affects the surrounding features.

At KAI CLINIC TOKYO, we treat your consultation not as a matter of individual features but as the "total design of the whole face." In counseling, we examine the skeleton, soft tissue and even habits of expression in detail, and think together with you about the combination of procedures that brings you closer to your desired impression, organizing priorities as we go.

When several areas are operated on, in principle a single surgeon handles them from start to finish. We aim for a result that lets you age beautifully and naturally, not only today but five and ten years from now. That is the stance we hold dear in our practice.

In aesthetic medicine, we believe "peace of mind and safety" is not an abstract phrase but something achieved only through concrete systems. KAI CLINIC TOKYO maintains the following three.

Surgery inevitably brings downtime such as swelling and bruising. We regard this recovery period itself as an important process that medicine must take responsibility for.
