Katsuya Takasu (高須 克弥 Takasu Katsuya?, January 22, 1945 in Isshiki, Aichi, Japan) is a plastic surgeon based in Tokyo.

Takasu is a member of Japan Medical Association, Japan Society of Aesthetic Surgery, Japanese Association of Cosmetic Surgeons, Japan Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. In January 2011, Takasu was also appointed to be a visiting professor of cosmetic surgery at Showa University School of Medicine.

Japan’s most famous plastic surgeon for over 20 years, Dr. Takasu has been a pioneer in seeking and evaluating new treatments from around the world. He is well known and respected by the leading cosmetic surgeons from around the world, and has hosted many of them while leading international conferences in Japan. He brings this wealth of information to the evaluation and care of each patient.

Furthermore, Dr. Takasu makes it a rule to test out innovative medical procedures on his own face and body before performing them on patients. In this way, he can better understand the procedure, how it works, and how it feels for the patient. He has had several facelifts, upper and lower blepharoplasty, deep chemical peel, high-definition liposuction, hair transplant and buccal fat removal, just to name a few.

Life

Takasu studied at Showa University School of Medicine in Tokyo. As a graduate student, Takasu went to Germany and Italy, where he studied plastic and cosmetic surgery.

In 1974, he established Takasu General Hospital in his hometown, and in 1976, Takasu Clinic in Nagoya.[5] As of 2010, Takasu Clinic has its branches in Tokyo, Yokohama, and Osaka.[6] In 1987, Takasu performed liposuction in Japan for the first time, having learned the technique from Pierre Fournier in Paris, France.[7] Takasu has been President of Japan Society of Liposuction Surgery since 1987.[8]

Rejuvenation Project[edit]
In 1999, at the age of 54, Takasu started to feel it strange that cosmetic surgeons looked older than their patients. He also thought it odd that surgeons actually did not know how painful each procedure was. Takasu made a resolution to experience a series of cosmetic surgeries himself and rejuvenate by 20 years. Within a year, Takasu underwent facelift, buccal fat removal, phenol peel, upper and lower blepharoplasty, hair transplantation, liposuction, and golden thread implant. As of 2010, at the age of 65, his rejuvenation project is still in progress. Takasu later referred to the resolution as life changing, because it brought him back to the starting point of a medical doctor, "share the pains with patients."

Philanthropy

Takasu is also a philanthropist. Immediately after the 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake, which killed 6,434 people and injured 43,792, Takasu established Organization of Cosmetic Surgery Volunteers in cooperation with surgeons from 9 other clinics. The organization offered plastic and reconstructive treatment to the earthquake victims for free. Dr Takasu also donated the sum of US$390,000 to the Nigeria Under-23 football team, as a reward for their performance at the ongoing Rio 2016 Olympics.


Guinness World Record

On August 2, 2011, Dr. Takasu together with his friend Koji Ishida (aged 71) established a Guinness World Record of most golf holes played by a pair in 12 hours (cart). The pair completed 261 holes at Kyowa Country Club, Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan.
