Meet the Jawline Aesthetics Team

This site is led and medically reviewed by Ke He, MD, who assesses the lower face and neck here and who is responsible for the medical content. The other three physicians contribute what an assessment of this area often needs: the center’s surgical standards and its experience of revision, the operations that change the frame itself or reposition the platysma, and the dermatologic assessment of the skin under the jaw before any injectable or device plan is made.

Ke He (何锞)

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

Jawline and neck assessment · injectable and device options · the four layers as separate findings

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.

On this site her part is the assessment that assigns a jawline complaint to a layer, and the injectable and device options that act on three of the four. She examines the masseter at rest and while clenching before a slimming plan is discussed, looks at the platysma with the neck tensed rather than relaxed, and separates the fat under the chin from the structures that sit beside it. Where the border has been lost to descended tissue or to bone, she says that no injectable corrects it, including to patients who arrived expecting a course of treatment rather than an operation, and where a finding belongs with a dentist or a sleep service she refers rather than treats.

Clinical focus

  • Assigning a jawline complaint to bone, muscle, fat or skin

The layer at fault, not the treatment you have read about

Most people arrive with a named treatment in mind, and the assessment is not a negotiation about it. It establishes which of the four layers is producing the change and then names the option that addresses that layer, which is sometimes smaller than expected, sometimes an operation, and sometimes nothing at all. A plan aimed at the wrong layer produces no visible change, and treating all four together is the commonest way this area is over-treated.

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

Center leadership · surgical standards and complex 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.

Within this site his part is the standard any operation on the frame or the neck has to meet and the backstop behind it, including the assessment of a jawline that has been operated on before and has not settled as expected.

Clinical focus

  • 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

Tongchun Mao (毛彤春)

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

Aesthetic surgery · the frame and the neck

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.

Within this site his part is the layer that has to be cut: bone added at the angle or the chin, bone reduced, fat removed from under the chin, and the platysma repositioned with the skin of the neck. He also says when an operation will not change the thing that bothers you.

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

Yongbo Jia (贾勇波)

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

Dermatology · the skin of the lower face and neck

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.

Within this site his part is the envelope and the skin condition rather than the shape: the quality and recoil of the skin under the jaw, and the rashes, folliculitis and irritation that need treating in their own right before anything else is decided.

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

Start with the layer, not the treatment

An assessment establishes which of the four layers is producing the complaint, what each option would change, and what each would leave exactly as it is. It is reasonable to leave having decided against treatment.
