Shirayuri Medical Clinic
Led by Dr. Takaaki Ito (伊藤 孝明). Clinic Director; Japanese Orthopaedic Association (日本整形外科学会) board-certified orthopedic specialist; JSAS-certified cosmetic surgeon; board-certified anesthesiologist; MD, PhD
VERIFIED. Kanji ambiguity RESOLVED: the clinic's own director page (leglengthening.jp/clinic/ and shirayuribeauty.jp/introduction_itou.html) renders 伊藤 孝明 (Takaaki Ito); the 伊藤 貴朗 variant on some beauty-review listings is a mis-transcription of the same person. Director confirmed CURRENT (active blog, oversees operations). Existence independently confirmed on MHLW's official 医療情報ネット registry plus Caloo, Gangnam Unni, Tribeau, Kireipass, Navitime and Google GBP — none are commission lead-brokers. GBP rating is low (2.8/29) and facility-wide, typical of Japanese cosmetic-surgery reviews; two overlapping GBP pins exist from the rename. No email published; do not guess one. | Added 2026-07-11 via company-research (gap-country pass); codex web-search cross-checked.

Verification covers: named surgeon credentials, hospital affiliation, methods offered, public-facing website, and regulatory status. We re-verify quarterly. If a clinic fails a re-verification, we add an editorial note or demote its tier — we do not quietly remove it.
Independence: this clinic cannot pay to change its ranking, Directory Score, tier, or reviews. Paid options affect presentation only and are always labeled. We take no commission and charge no per-patient fee. Editorial policy.
This directory is editorial. It is not medical advice, an endorsement, or a substitute for consultation with a qualified surgeon. Pricing and availability change — always verify directly with the clinic before making decisions.
