Your Team

Meet the Team Behind Your Estimate

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. Each of them writes the clinical reasoning that sits behind the figures in a written estimate.

Specialist Profiles

The four leads of the treatment cost review team

Tongchun Mao, MD (毛彤春)

Deputy Director & Head of Aesthetic Services · Treatment Cost Review Lead · Vice Chief Physician, Licensed Aesthetic Attending

Treatment cost review · written estimates · facial surgery

Dr. Tongchun Mao is Deputy Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital and the clinician who reviews how treatment is planned and how its cost is built. 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 twenty years and personally performs several hundred operations a year.

His practice covers detailed facial surgery, facial rejuvenation and surgical contouring, and body contouring. 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 treat the least invasive step that will still move the dominant problem. The same principle governs what he will and will not put in an estimate — a line item is offered when there is a clinical reason for it, and not otherwise.

Clinical focus

Assessment-led treatment planning and the written estimate that follows it
Explaining the components of a surgical fee and which lines depend on findings at surgery
Revision and second-opinion assessment, including the financial questions it raises
Detailed facial surgery (eyelid, nose, chin, lip), including repair of previous surgery
Facial rejuvenation and surgical facial contouring

The assessment decides the plan, and the plan decides the cost

Two people can arrive asking for the same change and need two different plans, because the tissue in front of you is never the same combination. Until the assessment is done there is nothing to cost, and any figure offered beforehand is only an indication.

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 this team 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. Because he handles the cases that others decline, he is also the person who explains most directly why revision is priced as new work rather than as a repeat of the first operation.

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: the clinical reasons it is planned and priced as new work
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 — and it is part of what a facility fee pays for.

Ke He, MD (何锞)

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

Skin & laser aesthetics · staged courses 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 twenty years, serving over ten thousand patients.

Within this team she plans the non-surgical side of treatment, where a course rather than a single session is usually what is required. That makes her the person who explains how a staged course is quoted, what a session includes, how many sessions are typically planned before a result can be judged, and what aftercare the fee does and does not carry.

Clinical focus

Non-surgical and laser treatment planning, and how a staged course is quoted
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

A course is not a single purchase

Most skin and laser treatment is delivered as a staged course, and the honest way to quote it is stage by stage, with a review point at which it can stop. A course sold as a single prepaid block removes exactly that review point.

Yongbo Jia, MD (贾勇波)

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

Dermatology · 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 team he is responsible for the medical condition of the skin: the preoperative assessment of anything that affects healing, control of pigment and barrier before a procedure, and the dermatologic care that protects a result afterwards. He is also the person who sets out which skin workup items appear on a written estimate, and which follow-up care is included in a treatment fee rather than charged separately.

Clinical focus

Comprehensive pigment management: melasma, freckles, sun spots, café-au-lait, and age spots
Preoperative skin assessment, and the workup items that appear on a written estimate
Hair and scalp conditions, including hair loss and hair transplantation
Aesthetic excision of superficial moles, cysts, and haemangiomas; refined cosmetic stitching
Follow-up and aftercare: what a treatment fee covers and what it does not

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, and the workup follows

Most treatment failures in dermatology trace back to a missed diagnosis. Getting the diagnosis right is also what keeps an estimate honest, because it decides which investigations are actually needed and which are not.

Start with an assessment and a written estimate

Reach out to arrange an assessment. We examine what is actually needed, explain how the cost of your treatment would be built, and put it in writing as an itemised estimate for your own case — including what it does not cover. There is no obligation to decide anything on the day.
