Your Team

Who You May See

The leadership of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center — specialists in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, skin and laser care, and dermatology — practicing within Chongqing West District Hospital, a tertiary general hospital. Which of them you see is decided by what your question turns out to be, not by which clinic you happened to book.

Specialist Profiles

The four leads of the appointments and first consultation service

Tongchun Mao, MD (毛彤春)

Deputy Director & Head of Aesthetic Services · Lead Physician, Appointments & First Consultation · Vice Chief Physician, Licensed Aesthetic Attending

First consultations · assessment · surgical planning

Dr. Tongchun Mao is Deputy Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital, the lead physician for this service, and the medical reviewer of every guide published on it. 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.

Much of his outpatient work is the first conversation: taking a history, examining what concerns you, explaining what can and cannot be changed, and recording a plan you can take away. His consistent principle is the one this site is built on: operate on the anatomy in front of you, change only what the assessment justifies, and be willing to say that no operation is the right answer today. A consultation is an assessment, not an order.

Clinical focus

First consultations and structured assessment for facial surgery, including second opinions and revision planning
Detailed facial surgery (eyelid, nose, chin, lip), including repair of previous surgery

The assessment decides the plan

Two people can arrive asking for the same change and need two different answers, because the anatomy and the history in front of you are never the same combination. The assessment comes first; the decision about whether to operate follows from it, and sometimes the answer is no.

Shaoliang Wang, MD (王韶亮)

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

Complex assessment · 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 this service he is the surgical backstop and the judgement of last resort: the person a first consultation is referred to when a case is complex, when an operation performed elsewhere has failed, or when the honest answer is 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

Assessment of complex, referred and revision cases, and second opinions
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 consultations · 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.

Within this service she is usually the first clinician a patient with a skin, pigment or laser question will see, and the one who decides whether the answer is medical, procedural or surgical. She also leads the aftercare that follows a procedure, which is why her consultations tend to cover both what will be done and what will be needed afterwards.

Clinical focus

First consultations for skin, laser and pigment concerns, and triage towards medical or surgical care
Skin-quality programmes: 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

Telling a skin question from a surgical one

Much of a first consultation is deciding which service a problem belongs to. That decision changes everything that follows, and it is better made by a clinician than guessed at by a patient filling in a booking form.

Yongbo Jia, MD (贾勇波)

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

Dermatology · diagnosis and perioperative skin health

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.

Within this service he answers the diagnostic questions: what a lesion is, why skin is inflamed, whether something should be removed, and what has to be treated before anything else can be planned. He also carries out the preoperative skin assessment that a surgical plan depends on. Good treatment on unhealthy skin heals poorly, and he is the person who says so.

Clinical focus

Diagnostic consultations for lesions, rashes, inflammatory skin disease and hair loss
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, Chongqing Integrative Medicine Skin & Beauty Committee

Diagnosis first

Most treatment failures in dermatology trace back to a missed diagnosis or an abandoned routine. Getting the diagnosis right is what decides whether the next appointment is a procedure, a prescription, or a review in six months.

Start with a consultation, not a decision

Reach out to arrange an assessment. We take a history, examine what concerns you, and explain honestly what can and cannot be done — including the option of waiting, or of doing nothing at all. Nothing is agreed on the day, and no plan is guaranteed until you have read it.
