Specialist profiles

Who reviews this content

Tongchun Mao (毛彤春)

Deputy Director & Head of Aesthetic Surgery · Vice Chief Physician, Licensed Aesthetic Attending · Lead Physician of This Site

Chin, jawline and submental contouring · facial aesthetic surgery

Dr. Tongchun Mao is Deputy Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center and head of its aesthetic surgery service at Chongqing West District Hospital, and the lead physician for this site's content on the jawline and submental fullness. A core specialist formerly at the Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery Department of Xinqiao Hospital, affiliated with Army Medical University, he has rooted his clinical practice for more than 20 years and personally performs over 700 operations a year.

His practice covers facial bone contouring of the cheekbone, jaw angle and chin, facelift and lifting procedures, rhinoplasty and nasal refinement, eyelid surgery, and facial fat grafting; on the body side he performs liposuction and staged contouring after major weight loss. The jawline decision sits where several of those meet, which is exactly why it is a diagnosis before it is a technique. His consistent philosophy is to operate on the anatomy the patient actually has, change only what the analysis justifies, and keep the result natural enough that nobody asks who the surgeon was.

Clinical focus

Assessment of submental fullness: naming the tissue responsible
Facial bone contouring: cheekbone, jaw angle and chin
Chin projection and lower-face profile planning
Liposuction and body contouring
Facelift, neck lifting and facial rejuvenation
Revision assessment and planning after previous facial surgery

Diagnosis before technique

More than 700 operations a year counts only alongside selection. A soft jawline is the clearest example of a complaint where the treatment a patient has read about is often not the one their anatomy needs — and where naming the tissue first is most of the work.

Shaoliang Wang (王韶亮)

Director, Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center · Vice Chief Physician, Associate Professor, Doctor of Medicine

Center leadership · surgical standards

Dr. Shaoliang Wang is Center Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital. He leads the team in which Dr. Mao practises, and carries responsibility for the center's standards of surgical planning, safety and follow-up.

For patients, that role is the guarantee that an individual surgeon's plan sits inside a departmental system: standardised preoperative assessment, anaesthesia delivered by hospital teams, and a defined follow-up after every operation. Patients who arrive unhappy with a contouring procedure performed elsewhere are usually assessed within this part of the service.

Clinical focus

Repair of unsatisfactory cosmetic operations, including revision and reconstruction
Surgical planning standards and case selection
Departmental follow-up and safety review

Ke He (何锞)

Deputy Director & Head of Skin & Laser Aesthetics · Attending Physician, Licensed Aesthetic Attending

Skin and laser aesthetics · perioperative care

Dr. Ke He is Deputy Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center and head of its skin and laser aesthetic service at Chongqing West District Hospital. A core specialist formerly at the Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery Department of Xinqiao Hospital, she has worked on the clinical front line in skin laser and injectable aesthetics for more than 20 years.

Within this service her role is the skin itself: assessing before treatment the skin quality that decides whether tightening or fat reduction will help, and managing the skin afterwards.

Clinical focus

Skin assessment and skin quality of the neck and lower face
Energy-device and laser treatment of skin texture and laxity

Yongbo Jia (贾勇波)

Deputy Director & Head of Dermatology · Vice Chief Physician, Licensed Aesthetic Attending

Dermatology · skin disease of the face and neck

Dr. Yongbo Jia is Deputy Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center and head of its dermatology service. He graduated from Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and trained in dermatology at the Institute of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, and at Chongqing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Within this service his role is the skin condition rather than the shape: the inflammatory, allergic and pigment problems of the face and neck that change how the area looks, that are not surgical, and that need to be identified before a treatment is planned.

Clinical focus

Inflammatory and allergic skin disease of the face and neck
Skin conditions that affect healing around a planned procedure
