Meet the Aesthetics in Your 40s Team

The Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital is led by four consultants working inside a tertiary general hospital. Tongchun Mao, MD, is responsible for the medical review of this site, because the decisions in this decade turn on order. Ke He, MD, assesses skin quality and pigment and carries out most of the skin work that comes first in the plan; Yongbo Jia, MD, manages the medical side, including skin that is behaving differently in the years around the menopause transition; and Shaoliang Wang, MD, provides the surgical view and the hospital-level backstop when descent genuinely needs an operation.

Tongchun Mao (毛彤春)

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

Staged planning through the 40s · separating volume loss from descent · judging when a lift is the honest answer

Dr. Tongchun Mao is an aesthetic surgeon at Chongqing West District Hospital, where he is Deputy Director and Head of Aesthetic Surgery in its Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center 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 assessment of a patient in their 40s starts with a question that is not about treatment: which of the two changes is actually present. He examines the face in repose and in motion, against the bone rather than against an old photograph, and if the tissue has descended he will not add volume to it, however straightforward that would be to sell. Where the only visible change is one the patient can see and a photograph cannot, he says so and suggests a review in a year.

Clinical focus

Assessment that separates volume loss from descent before any plan is made
Small structural volume placed against bone rather than routine full-face filling
The jawline and neck assessed as one continuous structure
Judging when lifting is the honest answer and when it is simply the first one
Saying plainly when the correct plan for this decade is no plan at all

Nothing is often the plan

A patient in their 40s who leaves with no treatment is not an unsuccessful consultation. If the change is one only you can see, the plan that protects your face is the one that waits a year and looks again.

An appointment is not an obligation

An assessment at this stage can legitimately end with no treatment at all. We will say which change is actually present, what order the steps should come in, and what is not worth doing now.
