Introduction

Chief

Yujiro Ozaki

Plastic surgery, as extracted from the Japan Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery website, is a medical specialty that contributes to the improvement of the quality of life by addressing abnormalities, deformities, and defects in the body's tissues, aiming for both functional and aesthetic normalcy and beauty. In other words, it is a specialty that treats patients to achieve satisfactory results both aesthetically and functionally, and all staff members are committed to this goal.

Characteristics of this department

We treat almost all diseases affecting the external appearance of the body, including abnormalities, deformities, and defects. We are equipped with various lasers, allowing us to treat bruises as well. Our hospital operates a 24-hour emergency system, enabling us to respond to emergency conditions (such as facial bone fractures).
