Reading Time: <1 minuteThe short version PV of the solo exhibition held at the Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo on May 26th has been completed. I am honored to have been able to hold a solo exhibition as the first artist to exhibit art since the opening of the Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo. [Cosmetic surgeons are artists] I have always had this feeling. The quest for ultimate beauty is the same for the beauty of the human face and body as well as art. The art I create using my 34 years of experience and techniques as a cosmetic surgeon and cosmetic dermatologist, cutting-edge cosmetic medical laser technology, and precision surgical instruments is a unique work of art in the world. As a Japanese person, I will promote the next generation of art to the world. I will continue to work hard every day. Sakae Clinic is currently the only gallery where you can see my work. I would be happy if you could take a look at my work when you visit. Thank you very much.

As an artist, I was honored to have my first exhibition and solo exhibition at the Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo. Cosmetic surgeons are the ultimate artists, always pursuing the highest level of beauty. Using my 34 years of experience and knowledge as a cosmetic surgeon and cutting-edge technology, I have been working for many years to create next-generation art. I will provide the best medical services to my patients. I hope you will take a look.

Reading Time: <1 minute It took half a year, but the promotional video for my solo exhibition at Sennyuji Temple, held last November, is complete. In pursuit of ultimate beauty, I am creating art pieces by bringing together the experience, knowledge, and techniques I have acquired over 34 years as a cosmetic surgeon. I will continue to work hard every day to be recognized around the world. Thank you for your support.  

Reading Time: <1 minuteThirty-four years have passed since I started practicing cosmetic surgery. I am one of the few cosmetic surgeons who knows about cosmetic surgery in the Showa era. I have looked at the history of cosmetic surgery, but considering the recent decline in the quality of cosmetic surgeons, I am worried about the future development of cosmetic medicine. There is a cosmetic surgery clinic group that is constantly recruiting people with no experience to become director in six months, working three days a week for five hours, with an annual salary of 30 million to 200 million yen. The quality of cosmetic surgery is not so low that you can become director in six months with no experience. 200 million yen!? If that's true, I would like to close the clinic and change jobs immediately. What does this mean? It's impossible if you consider legitimate medical practice. Cosmetic surgeons can make money easily, be pampered, and have fun. If you can use SNS well, your skills and knowledge are irrelevant. They team up with unscrupulous influencers and unscrupulous beauty-related YOUTUBERs to attract patients with exaggerated advertising. Exosome business, Miradry business, diet business... Everything is business-first. The existence of an organization where the management is not even a doctor and where profit is the ultimate priority. The reality is far removed from medical care. A world where experience, knowledge, and skill are completely irrelevant. Many patients who are troubled by scars and aftereffects after cosmetic surgery come to our clinic for consultation. It is important to identify the correct information so as not to fall victim to an inexperienced cosmetic surgeon.

Reading Time: <1 minuteWe have received many consultations from patients who have received MiraDry treatment but found it ineffective or recurred. Currently, more than half of the patients who visit our clinic for the first time and wish to receive treatment for underarm odor have undergone MiraDry treatment. Many patients complain of strong pain from anesthesia and strong swelling and pain after surgery. It is highly unlikely that anesthesia before underarm odor treatment will cause strong pain. Anesthesia is performed using a local anesthetic called Xylocaine. Its chemical name is lidocaine hydrochloride and its pH is acidic. In fact, the pain during anesthesia is caused by the infiltration of the acidic liquid Xylocaine rather than the pain of the needle injection. At our clinic, we have taken measures to ensure that patients feel almost no pain. 1: Adjust the pH by mixing an alkaline drug solution called Meylon 2: Dilute 2% Xylocaine to 0.17% 3: Inject with a thin needle 4: Slowly inject the anesthetic The steps 1-4 can significantly reduce pain, and even elementary school children can receive anesthesia with peace of mind. Cosmetic surgery treatments are at your own expense, and unlike medical treatments covered by insurance, they require medical skills and hospitality to eliminate pain and the patient's fear and anxiety as much as possible. Treatments are carried out in a safe environment, relying on the skills of not only our doctors but also our staff. Patients who experience strong pain from anesthesia before MiraDry treatment can receive treatment with peace of mind.

Reading Time: <1 minuteOn May 30th and 31st, I attended the 112th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, held at the ANA Intercontinental Hotel. There were so many participants that some of the attendees had to stand. What was disappointing was the poor quality of the attendees. Non-medical paramedicals? There were quite a few attendees from China, but they had poor manners. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who felt very uncomfortable. During presentations, people were talking to each other, taking pictures that were prohibited, cutting in line... I noticed a lot of unreasonable behavior that doctors would never do. The increase in participants may be a good thing, but quality is also important. Doctors who pay high participation fees should be given priority. I was surprised at the presentations, which were too corporate-biased PR. There was almost no evidence? ... The worst was regenerative medicine. There were no such topics in the number of fields that should be considered most carefully, and there were only presentations that exaggerated the benefits... Before announcing the benefits of gray zone exosome therapy and stem cell culture supernatant infusion, there was no talk of standardization or evidence, which made me feel the dark side of aesthetic medicine. This is a session at a level that is no longer appropriate for an academic conference. Is it appropriate to openly promote the lack of standardization or evidence at an academic conference? In the session at the Japanese Society of Aesthetic Internal Medicine, Dr. Akira Aoki, the president of the Society, presented ideas based on EBM.

Reading Time: <1 minuteI participated in the Japanese Society of Cosmetic Surgery on May 30th and 31st. I attended the event expecting an academic presentation, but unfortunately, there were many presentations that seemed to be more of a corporate PR problem, and some doctors presented surgical procedures from the Showa era as equivalent, which was quite disappointing. In particular, I was surprised at the presentation on the labia minora reduction surgery in gynecology, which was a Showa era procedure and not a procedure that was performed with wound healing in mind. In the presentation on labia minora reduction surgery, the doctor said, ``Let's sew finely, let's sew in between...'' This is impossible. There is no need to suture the mucosal surface such as the labia minora finely. The reason is that it is a suture on the mucosal surface, which heals better than the skin, and should be sutured relatively roughly so as to leave as few traces of suture as possible. It is a mistake to think that the finer the better when it comes to sutures, as this can cause poor blood flow and actually delay healing of the sutured area. In addition, the incision was made suddenly from the design, and the alignment of the sutured wound was delicate. It is an extremely difficult area to design, so if you clamp the incision with a spatula after design and anesthesia, the wound will match perfectly at the same time as the incision. You should not make the incision freehand. It was also disappointing that the presentations showed that the basic techniques of cosmetic surgery had not been thoroughly studied. Since this was a conference, I would have liked to see new surgical techniques or procedures that surpassed the standard. Patients are not aware of these facts. They may think, "Wow, you presented at a conference!" If you want to hold a high-quality conference, you may need to carefully consider the presentation topics.

Reading Time: 2 minutesOn May 26th, I held a GALA party and solo exhibition at BVLGARI HOTEL TOKYO. I was blessed with the fortunate opportunity to be an artist who held my first art exhibition at the BVLGARI HOTEL TOKYO, which has never exhibited an artist's artwork before. As an artist, I am proud to have been able to exhibit my work in the elegant and sophisticated interior, beauty, and spectacular views of the BVLGARI HOTEL TOKYO, known as the best hotel in Japan. I have been working on creating a special art piece for this solo exhibition at the BVLGARI HOTEL TOKYO. I am happy that I was able to exhibit my work and have many people see it. With over 30 years of experience and craftsmanship as a cosmetic surgeon, the knowledge of a scientist, and precise creative techniques using cutting-edge lasers and cosmetic surgery equipment, cosmetic surgeons are the ultimate artists. I will continue to hone my artistic beauty sensibility and strive to provide the best cosmetic medical care to my patients with confidence in my daily medical practice.

Reading Time: <1 minuteIt has been almost 10 years since I started my artistic activities in earnest. As the world's only scientist and cosmetic surgeon artist, I create art using cutting-edge technology, 35 years of experience as a cosmetic surgeon, and the skills of a master. I explore and create the ultimate beauty using cosmetic medical lasers and surgical equipment used in cosmetic surgery as tools for creating art. Both cosmetic surgeons and cosmetic dermatologists are medical practitioners who require outstanding sense. Since the word "beauty" is attached to the name, it is necessary not only to understand beauty but also to have the knowledge, experience, and medical technology to realize it. Cosmetic surgeons are artists. Cosmetic surgeons and cosmetic dermatologists change the color and shape by applying various drugs and physical stimuli such as hyaluronic acid, Botox, lasers, high frequency, and ultrasound to the skin. This change in color and shape is medical care that visually brings beauty, and it is cosmetic surgery. The same is true for art. Artists use various art materials to change the color and shape to create works. Fortunately, I am well versed in laser technology and the properties of light, both as a scientist and as a cosmetic surgeon and cosmetic dermatologist. I have been treating patients for many years using treatment equipment that applies all kinds of lasers and cutting-edge technology. Those experiences and technologies can be applied to the next generation of art. In the art world, where originality is valued, I would like to continue creating art until my artworks are recognized worldwide. My works are also exhibited in a gallery-style setting at Sakae Clinic, so I would be happy if you could take a look at them when you visit.  

Reading Time: <1 minute Yesterday marked the end of our 2023 medical practice. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to all the patients, businesses, and related parties who visited our clinic. This year, we have been able to provide cutting-edge and advanced cosmetic medical care thanks to your tremendous support. Personally, I was able to make my artist debut and co-host my first solo exhibition with world-renowned artist Hirotora Kushou at the Imperial Household Kakoin Temple, Sennyuji Temple, from November 24th to 26th. Cosmetic surgeons and cosmetic dermatologists are the ultimate artists. It is important to hone not only knowledge and skills, but also sense, and clinical skills as an artist are also necessary. As an artist, I will continue to work hard until I receive worldwide recognition. Next-generation art creation using the world's most advanced cosmetic medical technology. As the world's only cosmetic surgeon artist, I will aim for the world next year!
