Your Team

Who You Are Coming to See

The leadership of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital — specialists in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, skin and laser care, and dermatology — practicing inside a tertiary general hospital. Their details are here so that you know who you are travelling to see; the practical arrangements for the visit itself are the subject of the rest of this guide.

Specialist Profiles

The four leads of the centre

Tongchun Mao, MD (毛彤春)

Deputy Director & Head of Aesthetic Surgery · Lead Physician and Medical Reviewer for This Guide · Vice Chief Physician, Licensed Aesthetic Attending

Facial surgery · surgical planning · clinical lead for this guide

Dr. Tongchun Mao is Deputy Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital and head of its aesthetic surgery service. 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 is the lead physician and medical reviewer for this visitor guide.

His practice covers detailed facial surgery, facial rejuvenation and surgical contouring, and body contouring. His consistent principle is the one this centre is built on: operate on the anatomy in front of you, change only what the assessment justifies, and treat the least invasive step that will still move the dominant problem — keeping the result natural enough that nobody asks who your surgeon was.

Clinical focus

Detailed facial surgery (eyelid, nose, chin, lip), including repair of previous surgery
Facial rejuvenation and surgical facial contouring
Surgical assessment and planning for patients attending the centre
Aesthetic closure principles applied to dermatologic excisions

Ask before the day, not at the doorway

Most of what goes wrong around an appointment is logistical rather than clinical: the wrong entrance, an unreadable queue number, a question nobody wrote down. If you are unsure how the visit will work, ask the centre in advance — it is a routine question, and the answer is easier to give before the day than during it.

Shaoliang Wang, MD (王韶亮)

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

Plastic surgery · revision · complex repair

Dr. Shaoliang Wang is Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital. He previously served as deputy chief of plastic and aesthetic surgery at Xinqiao Hospital, affiliated with Army Medical University, and brings more than two decades of tertiary-hospital surgical experience to his practice.

Within the centre he is the surgical backstop and the judgement of last resort: revision of failed operations that began anywhere, excision of skin tumours, complex wound repair, and the decision that a plan should not proceed. Twenty years of tertiary-hospital surgery inform every opinion he gives, including the ones that decline to operate.

Clinical focus

Surgical removal of skin tumors with margin control and layered cosmetic closure
Excision and repair of moles, cysts, and other superficial lesions
Scar revision and comprehensive scar management after burns and trauma
Repair of failed aesthetic operations from elsewhere (revision and reconstruction)
Complex wound repair and tertiary-hospital surgical support for dermatologic cases

Academic roles & achievements

Member, Craniofacial Surgery Group, Chinese Medical Association Plastic Surgery Branch
Deputy Chair, Chongqing Medical Aesthetics & Beauty Committee
Standing Committee Member, Chongqing Medical Doctor Association Plastic Surgery Branch
Expert Panel, Chongqing Aesthetic Surgery Quality Control Center
Developed a new endoscope- and water-jet-assisted technique for removing injected polyacrylamide (Aomingding) breast filler; awarded the Wang Liangneng Cup Military Excellent Scientific Paper Award
Principal investigator on an international cooperation sub-project, a Chongqing Natural Science Foundation grant, and a Third Military Medical University technology-transfer project; published 4 SCI papers and holds 8 national invention patents

A hospital-based advantage

When a treatment from elsewhere needs correction, or a complication needs theatre-level care, the operating room, anaesthesiology and intensive care are already in the same building. Practicing inside a tertiary general hospital means that backstop is real rather than theoretical.

Ke He, MD (何锞)

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

Skin & laser aesthetics · preparation and 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. A core specialist formerly at the plastic and aesthetic surgery department of Xinqiao Hospital, affiliated with Army Medical University, she has worked on the clinical front line in skin laser and aesthetic dermatology for more than 20 years, serving over ten thousand patients.

She leads the part of a treatment that happens before and after the procedure itself: preparing the skin so that it tolerates what is planned, and managing scar and pigment afterwards. Her argument is simple — every other treatment passes through the skin, so the skin is prepared first and looked after last.

Clinical focus

Skin preparation: barrier repair and non-surgical rejuvenation
Early scar prevention and repair: silicone, pressure, injection, and laser protocols
Pigment conditions: freckles, melasma, age spots, nevus of Ota, and post-inflammatory pigment
Acne and acne scarring; refined treatment of eyelid-margin moles, milia, and syringoma
Vascular conditions and full-cycle hair management

Academic roles & achievements

Member, Laser Medicine Group, Chinese Medical Association Plastic Surgery Branch
Member, Facial Rejuvenation Group, Chinese Medical Association Plastic Surgery Branch
Member, Chongqing Plastic Surgery Quality Control Center
Published 5 papers, holds 5 national patents, and introduced 2 new clinical techniques

Aftercare is part of the treatment

What happens in the weeks after a procedure decides much of how the result reads at six months. Ask what the aftercare involves, who to contact if something looks wrong, and when you are expected back — and get it in writing before you leave the building.

Yongbo Jia, MD (贾勇波)

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

Dermatology · skin health around a procedure

Dr. Yongbo Jia is Deputy Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center and head of its dermatology service at Chongqing West District Hospital. A vice chief physician and licensed aesthetic attending, 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.

He is responsible for the medical condition of the skin: assessment of anything that affects healing, control of pigment and barrier before a procedure, and the dermatologic care that protects a result afterwards. Good treatment on unhealthy skin heals poorly, and he is the person who says so.

Clinical focus

Comprehensive pigment management: melasma, freckles, sun spots, café-au-lait, and age spots
Preoperative skin assessment and postoperative scar and pigment care
Hair and scalp conditions, including hair loss and hair transplantation
Aesthetic excision of superficial moles, cysts, and haemangiomas; refined cosmetic stitching
Repair of appearance-damaging skin conditions

Academic roles & achievements

Member, Jiusan Society
Member, Chongqing Integrative Medicine Skin & Beauty Committee
Advanced training at the Institute of Dermatology (Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences) and Chongqing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Diagnosis first

Most treatment failures in dermatology trace back to a missed diagnosis or an abandoned routine. Getting the diagnosis right, then staying with the maintenance plan, is what quietly produces results — and it is why the first appointment is usually longer than the ones that follow.

Ask before the day, not at the doorway

Tell the hospital which department you are attending and what you need help with, and the practical details can be confirmed in advance: which entrance to use, how much time to allow, what to bring, and whether a wheelchair, an interpreter or a companion arrangement can be made. Journeys and queues take longer than expected, and a question asked beforehand costs far less than one asked while you are standing in a corridor.
