Meet the Chin Comparison Team

The Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital is staffed by four consultants working inside a tertiary general hospital. Ke He, MD, is responsible for the medical review of this site and assesses whether a chin concern is skeletal or proportional. A comparison of this kind also involves the other three: the surgical view of a jaw or a chin that needs an operation, the assessment of facial proportion, and the dermatological care of a lump or a delayed reaction.

Specialist profiles

Who reviews this content

Ke He (何锞)

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

Facial assessment · injectable treatment · profile proportion

Dr. Ke He is Deputy Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital and head of its skin and laser aesthetic service — and she is 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, she has worked on the clinical front line in skin laser and injectable aesthetics for more than 20 years, serving over ten thousand patients.

Both options in this comparison arrive at the same consultation, and Dr. He treats them as answers to different findings rather than as a smaller and a larger version of one treatment. Her part of the decision is the profile as a whole: whether the chin is deficient at the bone or merely reads as small because of the nose, the lips or the jaw angle, and whether the concern is really a bite or a jaw problem that belongs to another specialty. Where a patient is uncertain about the change itself she will treat a small volume and review it after it has settled, and she regards a plan that ends in a referral rather than a treatment as one that worked.

Clinical focus

Assessment of chin projection against the profile line rather than in isolation
Injectable correction of a minor step, an asymmetry or a proportional deficit
Recognition of a bite or jaw problem that belongs to another specialty
Recognition and management of an injectable complication in the lower face
Dissolving an injectable result that a patient does not accept

Two options, two different questions

One changes the chin from the bone and the other adds volume in front of it. Neither is the stronger version of the other, and the finding that separates them is whether the deficiency is in the bone or in the proportions around it.

Shaoliang Wang (王韶亮)

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

Plastic surgery · complex cases · revision

Dr. Shaoliang Wang is Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital. Within the team he provides the surgical perspective and the tertiary-hospital backstop — the assessment when an operation is the honest answer, and the hospital-level care for the rare complication that needs it.

On this site Dr. Wang is the second opinion for a chin that has already had an implant, and for the patient whose real finding is the jaw rather than the chin.

Center leadership and multidisciplinary case review
Surgical assessment when an operation is the honest answer to descent or excess skin
Hospital-based care for the rare complication that needs theatre-level management

Tongchun Mao (毛彤春)

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

Aesthetic surgery · facial contour and proportion

Dr. Tongchun Mao is an aesthetic surgeon within the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital. Within the team his role is refinement and honest referral: he is the person who says so when an operation will do better than an injectable or a device.

His part of the decision is the surgical view of the profile: whether the finding is one an operation addresses, and what the chin would need to be in relation to the rest of the face.

Clinical focus

Aesthetic surgical assessment and refinement of contour and asymmetry
Honest referral when surgery outperforms a course of injections
Shared case planning within the four-physician team

Yongbo Jia (贾勇波)

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

Dermatology · skin disease and delayed reactions

Dr. Yongbo Jia is a dermatologist within the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital. Within the team his role is medical skin assessment — diagnosing and managing pigment and barrier conditions, and treating skin that a device or an injection has irritated.

A lump, a change in skin colour or a reaction appearing weeks after treatment is assessed dermatologically first at this hospital, because not every late change is a complication of the material.

Clinical focus

Medical skin assessment behind injectable treatment plans
Diagnosis and management of pigment and barrier conditions
Dermatologic care of skin after irritation or a delayed reaction

The finding comes before the option

Arrange an assessment. We will examine the profile rather than the chin alone, explain whether the deficiency is at the bone or in the proportions around it, and say plainly when neither option is the answer.
