Meet the Temple Team

This site is led and medically reviewed by Tongchun Mao, MD, who operates in this region and who is responsible for the medical content. The other three physicians contribute what an assessment of a temple often needs: the center’s surgical standards and revision experience, the assessment and treatment of the skin overlying the region, and the dermatologic and general medical diagnosis of the causes that are not cosmetic.

Who reviews this content

Tongchun Mao (毛彤春)

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

Upper-face assessment · the temporal region and its named vessels · volume and contour of the midface

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.

On this site his part is the examination that decides whether the temple has lost volume or was always shaped that way, because the two are managed in different directions and one of them is answered by doing nothing. He maps the vessels and the nerve branch before any plan is made, treats the answer that nothing needs doing as a finding rather than a disappointment, and declines the volume he is asked for when the old photographs show a childhood shape. His stated discipline is that the anatomy of this small region, not the size of the hollow, sets the limit.

Clinical focus

Temporal assessment: deep compartment loss told apart from bony shape
The named vessels and the brow nerve branch as the basis of any plan here
Upper-face proportion: hairline, brow tail and cheekbone read together
Timing treatment after weight loss, illness or earlier volume nearby
Declining treatment where a stable childhood shape is demonstrated

The anatomy decides, not the depth of the hollow

A named artery crosses in front of the ear, a vein drains the region deep, and the branch of the nerve that lifts the eyebrow runs just beneath the skin here. A temple is assessed for longer than it is treated because the plan has to be made around those structures on that particular face, and that is the reason this site argues for an injector who works in the region often.

Shaoliang Wang (王韶亮)

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 the plan has to meet and the backstop behind it. Patients who arrive with a temple that an earlier treatment has left uneven, overfilled or asymmetric are usually assessed within his part of the service.

Surgical assessment when an operation is the honest answer to descent or excess skin

Ke He (何锞)

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

Skin and laser aesthetics · the surface of the region

Dr. Ke He is Deputy Director and head of skin and laser aesthetics within the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital. Within the team her role is the device and injectable assessment, and the honest referral when a problem needs an operation rather than a needle.

Within this site her part is the surface: the skin quality and colour of the region, the changes that sun and time produce there, and the skin preparation and aftercare around any treatment to it.

Clinical focus

Device and injectable assessment before any treatment plan
Staged planning judged against standardised photographs
Honest referral when a problem needs an operation rather than a needle

Yongbo Jia (贾勇波)

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

Dermatology · inflammatory and medical causes

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 hollow that is not an appearance problem at all: inflammatory or autoimmune change in the region, the general medical causes of facial fat loss, and the findings that have to be identified before anything cosmetic is planned.

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 by finding out whether anything has actually been lost

Arrange an assessment. We will compare your face with old photographs, examine the region and its borders, and tell you whether what you have is a loss, a shape, or a hollow that comes from somewhere else.
