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 jawline begins by separating what the bone provides from what the fat and the skin are doing, because the three lead to entirely different plans and only one of them is an operation. In a younger face he is often able to show that the bone is adequate and that the outline is a fat question, and in an older face he is as likely to advise against removing volume as to advise lifting. Where the honest answer is that the skin cannot hold a sharper line, he says so before anything is planned.
Clinical focus
Three tissues, one outline
A jawline complaint sounds like one question and is really three. A practice that answers all of them with the same treatment, whether that is a device, a needle or an operation, is answering its own question rather than the face's.
