Meet the medical team

Breast surgery · body contouring · liposuction

Dr. Tongchun Mao is an aesthetic surgeon at Chongqing West District Hospital, where he is Deputy Director and Head of Aesthetic Surgery in its Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center and the lead physician of 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.

His scope on this site is breast and body contouring: breast augmentation with implants or the patient's own fat, mastopexy, breast reduction for symptomatic macromastia, nipple and areola surgery, abdominoplasty, liposuction, and staged contouring after major weight loss. His stated philosophy is consistent across all of it: measure before designing, choose the smallest operation that achieves the stated goal, and stay honest about scars, about implants that are not lifetime devices, and about the six-to-twelve-month wait for a final result.

• Breast lift (mastopexy) and breast reduction for symptomatic macromastia
• Nipple and areola surgery, including inversion correction
• Liposuction and body contouring, including the fat-transfer donor site

Complex and revision surgery

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.

Within the aesthetic team he is the backstop for difficult cases, including correction of unsatisfactory cosmetic surgery performed elsewhere. Patients who arrive with irregularity, a persistent lump or an asymmetry after fat transfer are usually assessed within this part of the service.

Clinical focus

• Repair of unsatisfactory cosmetic operations, including revision and reconstruction
• Complex wound repair and tertiary-hospital surgical support
• Scar revision and comprehensive scar management

Scar and aftercare · perioperative skin

Dr. Ke He is Deputy Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center and head of its skin and laser aesthetic service. 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.

Her role in this service is everything the operation itself does not do: skin quality before surgery, and scar and pigment aftercare afterwards — including the small donor-site scar and any pigmentation left behind by bruising.

Clinical focus

• Skin quality and barrier repair before and after surgery
• Scar prevention and repair at the donor and recipient sites

Dermatology · perioperative skin health

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 the team his role is the skin itself: assessing before surgery the conditions that affect healing, and afterwards managing the scar and pigment problems that a good operation on poor skin can still leave behind.

Clinical focus

• Preoperative skin assessment and postoperative skin care
• Pigment conditions and inflammatory skin disease that affect healing
