The Team Behind This Gynecomastia Guide

This guide is medically reviewed by Tongchun Mao, MD, who leads the breast and body contouring service. It is published within the four-doctor Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital, a tertiary general hospital, and it sits inside that department’s standards of assessment, anesthesia and follow-up. The other three physicians are listed as the team behind that system rather than as operators on this site.

Who reviews this content

Tongchun Mao

Tongchun Mao (毛彤春)

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

Breast surgery in men and women · chest contouring · body contouring

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 physician responsible for this guide. He personally performs more than 700 operations a year, a high-volume practice held to hospital standards of assessment, anesthesia and follow-up.

His published scope is breast and body contouring: breast augmentation with implants or the patient’s own fat, mastopexy, breast reduction for symptomatic macromastia, nipple and areola surgery, abdominoplasty, liposuction and staged contouring after major weight loss. Chest contouring in men sits within that scope, and it is planned the same way as the rest of it — from an assessment of what the tissue actually is.

His stated approach is the one this guide is built on: measure before designing, choose the smallest operation that achieves the stated goal, and be explicit about what remains uncertain. On this site that means the assessment comes before the plan, because whether the tissue is glandular, fatty or both decides whether an operation can help and which one is appropriate.

Clinical focus

  • Chest contouring in men, planned from the tissue found on assessment
  • Breast surgery in women, including reduction and mastopexy
  • Liposuction and the skin-versus-fat decision
  • Abdominoplasty and body contouring after major weight loss
  • Nipple and areola surgery

Academic roles & achievements

  • Deputy Director, Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center, Chongqing West District Hospital
  • Head of Aesthetic Surgery
  • Publishes patient education on breast and body contouring within the hospital’s AMCA cluster

How he frames the decision

Every consultation is also a decision about whether surgery should happen at all. Where the enlargement is recent, or a cause has not been excluded, the honest answer is to wait.

Shaoliang Wang

Shaoliang Wang (王韶亮)

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

Center leadership · surgical standards

Dr. Shaoliang Wang is Center Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital. He leads the four-doctor team in which Dr. Mao practises and carries responsibility for the centre’s standards of surgical planning, safety and follow-up.

For a patient considering chest surgery, the director’s role is the guarantee that an individual surgeon’s plan sits inside a departmental system: standardised preoperative assessment, anesthesia delivered by hospital teams, and defined follow-up after the operation. His specialty interest is craniofacial and reconstructive surgery rather than chest contouring, and he does not perform the operations described on this site.

Clinical focus

  • Departmental standards for surgical planning and safety
  • Craniofacial and reconstructive surgery
  • Preoperative assessment and follow-up governance
Ke He

Ke He (何锞)

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

Perioperative care · wound and scar management

Dr. Ke He is a physician in the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital and a member of the four-doctor team alongside Dr. Mao. Within the team she supports the perioperative care of surgical patients — the assessment and aftercare that surround an operation and shape how well its result matures.

Her published practice is in skin and laser aesthetics rather than chest surgery. On this site her role is the part of recovery that is easiest to underestimate: the care of a healing incision around the areola, the recognition of a wound that is not closing as it should, and the management of a scar through its red and raised phase.

Clinical focus

  • Perioperative assessment and aftercare
  • Wound care and scar management after chest surgery
  • Skin and laser aesthetics
Yongbo Jia

Yongbo Jia (贾勇波)

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

Perioperative care · skin assessment

Dr. Yongbo Jia is a physician in the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital and a member of the four-doctor team alongside Dr. Mao. Within the team he supports the perioperative care of surgical patients.

His published practice is in dermatology, and on this site it matters for a specific reason: a change in the skin of the chest, a rash, or a lump that is not typical of gynecomastia needs to be assessed as skin disease before an operation is planned. The assessment of the chest is not only about how much tissue is there; it is also about whether anything in it needs investigating in its own right.

Clinical focus

  • Perioperative assessment and aftercare
  • Skin assessment of the chest and areola
  • Dermatology and skin health

Ready to find out what the tissue actually is?

Reach out for an assessment. We will take a history including your medicines, examine the chest and the lymph nodes, tell you whether anything needs investigating in its own right, and explain what each option would change. If the honest answer is to wait, we will say so.
