The hospital

This site is published by Chongqing West District Hospital, a tertiary general hospital at 301 Huafu Avenue North Section, Jiulongpo District, Chongqing. Every reference to the hospital on this site means that institution, and the treating team practises within it.

Advertising and claims

This site describes operations by technique class and does not name a brand of product, garment or device, does not quote prices, and does not claim that a contour defect will be corrected or that skin will redrape. It states risks, limits and alternatives, and it names the physician responsible for the medical content.

Honesty requirements for revision surgery

Because correcting a contour has real limits, this site states plainly that the usual correction for a dent is to add fat rather than to remove more, that swelling must settle before anything is judged or planned, and that some defects cannot be fully corrected. It does not present revision as a way of obtaining a result the first operation did not achieve.
