Breast surgery · mastopexy · 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 picture. In an assessment for a lift that means establishing where the nipple sits relative to the inframammary fold, how much skin is genuinely in excess, what the tissue volume is, how the patient's weight has behaved, and whether the complaint is position or emptiness — because those two problems take different operations and only one of them is a lift.

Dr. Mao is direct about the trade a lift involves. The scars are permanent and their length is set by how much correction is needed; the result is not permanent, because the breast continues to change; and a patient who wants fullness rather than position is better served by a different plan. His stated position is that an assessment which ends in a recommendation against surgery is a consultation that worked.

Clinical focus

• Breast lift (mastopexy), including after pregnancy and after major weight loss
• Breast augmentation with implants or autologous fat transfer
• Breast reduction for symptomatic macromastia
• Nipple and areola surgery, including inversion correction
• Staged body contouring 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 a lift, that system is what makes the safety arrangements checkable: standardised preoperative assessment, anaesthesia delivered by hospital teams, intensive care support in the building, 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.

After a lift that work is largely about the skin: reviewing the incisions as they heal, distinguishing ordinary redness and firmness from a wound-healing problem, advising on scar care during the months when scars are most visible, and making sure a patient who is worried about the shape has a route back into the team.

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.

In a lift pathway his contribution is continuity: preoperative review of the health factors that affect wound healing, follow-up of sensation and scarring as they evolve, and long-term review for patients whose shape continues to change with weight or with the years.
