Aesthetic surgery · nasal surgery · the surgical decision

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 he is the physician responsible for this site. 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.

He leads on this site for a specific reason. A decision guide is only honest if the person signing it also has to live with the consequence of a patient taking its advice, and that includes the advice to wait or to decline. Dr. Mao’s stated position is the one this site is written around: analyse the nose you have, change only what the analysis justifies, and accept that some patients should not be operated on at all.

Plastic surgery · complex cases · revision

Dr. Shaoliang Wang is Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital, and previously served as Deputy Chief of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery at Xinqiao Hospital, affiliated with Army Medical University. On this site he is the second opinion a difficult nasal case is brought to.

His role in the decision is the one patients rarely ask for and most often need: whether a plan should proceed at all. Complex revision, correction of surgery done elsewhere, and the judgement to stop are his part of the team’s work.

Clinical focus

• Revision and reconstruction after failed cosmetic nasal surgery
• Complex wound repair and tertiary-hospital surgical support
• Scar revision and comprehensive scar management

Skin & laser aesthetics · surgical aftercare

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, with more than 20 years on the clinical front line.

Nasal surgery leaves a scar on skin that has to heal well for the result to look right. Her part of the decision is the one patients underweight: whether your skin quality, tendency to scar, and postoperative care will support the plan being proposed.

Clinical focus

• Early scar prevention and repair after facial surgery
• Skin quality and barrier preparation before an operation
• Pigment and vascular conditions affecting facial healing

Dermatology · assessment and complication management

Dr. Yongbo Jia is Deputy Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center and head of dermatology at Chongqing West District Hospital, trained at the Institute of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.

Some conditions that look like a surgical problem are not one. His part of the assessment is the dermatological one: skin disease, active inflammation, or a healing disorder that should be treated before anyone operates on the nose.

Clinical focus

• Dermatological assessment before facial surgery
• Management of skin disease that affects surgical healing
• Postoperative skin complications and barrier repair
