Breast surgery · augmentation · body contouring

Dr. Tongchun Mao is an aesthetic surgeon at Chongqing West District Hospital, where he is Deputy Director and Head of Aesthetic Surgery in its Deputy Director & Head of Skin & Laser Aesthetics · Attending Physician, Licensed Aesthetic Attending and the responsible physician for this site. He personally performs more than 700 operations a year, within hospital standards of assessment, anaesthesia and follow-up.

His breast practice is planned from measurement rather than from a size request. In an assessment for augmentation that means establishing breast base width, tissue pinch thickness, nipple position relative to the fold, skin quality and chest-wall symmetry, and then deciding whether the problem is volume, position, or both — because only the first of those is answered by augmentation alone.

Dr. Mao discusses device lifetime at the first appointment rather than the last. Implants are not lifetime devices, exchange at some point is likely, surveillance imaging is recommended for gel implants, and the capsule can contract. Patients who are told this early tend to make better decisions, including decisions not to operate, and he regards an assessment that ends in a recommendation against surgery as a consultation that worked.

Clinical focus

• Breast augmentation with silicone gel or saline implants
• Breast augmentation with autologous fat transfer, including staged grafting
• Breast lift and augmentation-mastopexy, including staged plans
• Breast reduction for symptomatic macromastia
• Implant surveillance, exchange and revision within the same centre

Centre leadership · surgical standards

Dr. Shaoliang Wang is Center Director of the Deputy Director & Head of Skin & Laser Aesthetics · Attending Physician, Licensed Aesthetic Attending at Chongqing West District Hospital and leads the four-doctor team in which Dr. Mao practices. His role is the guarantee that an individual surgeon's plan sits inside a departmental system rather than beside it.

For a patient considering augmentation, that system is what makes the safety arrangements checkable: standardised preoperative assessment, anaesthesia delivered by hospital teams, intensive care support in the building, device registration with the details handed to the patient, and a defined review schedule after every operation.

Team physician · perioperative care

Dr. Ke He is a physician in the Deputy Director & Head of Skin & Laser Aesthetics · Attending Physician, Licensed Aesthetic Attending at Chongqing West District Hospital and a member of the four-doctor team alongside Dr. Mao. Within the team she supports the perioperative care of surgical patients.

In an augmentation pathway that work covers the donor sites as well as the breasts where fat transfer is used: reviewing bruising and contour, distinguishing ordinary swelling from a collection that needs drainage, and supporting patients through the first weeks when the shape is still obscured by healing.

Team physician · perioperative care

Dr. Yongbo Jia is a physician in the Deputy Director & Head of Skin & Laser Aesthetics · Attending Physician, Licensed Aesthetic Attending at Chongqing West District Hospital and a member of the four-doctor team alongside Dr. Mao, supporting the perioperative and follow-up care of surgical patients.

His contribution to an augmentation pathway is continuity across the years: keeping the device record and surveillance schedule in order, reviewing a breast that changes shape or becomes firm, and making sure a new lump is assessed as a clinical question in its own right rather than assumed to be related to the implant.
