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 body work is planned as measurement before design. In an assessment for fat removal that means establishing where the fat actually sits, what the skin will do once volume is removed, whether the underlying muscle is contributing to the bulge, and what the patient's weight has done over the past two years — because a stable weight is what makes a contour result last. Where the honest answer is that the problem is loose skin, separated muscle or overall weight rather than localised fat, the recommendation is the operation that matches the problem, or no operation at all.
The same restraint applies after surgery: compression, staged review and a final assessment at six to twelve months rather than a judgement at three weeks. Dr. Mao's stated position is that the operations a surgeon declines are part of the judgement a patient is hiring, and that a body-contouring practice which never turns anyone away is not selecting carefully enough.
Clinical focus
Volume with restraint
More than 700 operations a year counts only alongside selection. Every assessment for fat removal is also a decision about whether the operation should happen at all, and the patients who are redirected — to weight management, to a skin-removing operation, or to doing nothing — are as much a part of the practice as the ones who are booked.
