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.

Editorial standards

Content on this site is written for patients, reviewed by a named clinician before publication, and dated. Claims that cannot be supported are removed rather than softened. Where a question has no settled answer, the site says so instead of choosing a side for convenience.

Advertising and claims

This site does not present medicines or devices by brand name, does not publish prices or discounts, and does not use countdowns, scarcity or outcome guarantees. It does not describe any treatment as painless, scarless or free of risk, and it does not publish a list of procedures to be worked through. It is written so that a reasonable reader can decide against treatment after reading it, and it states plainly that doing nothing is often the correct answer rather than a failure to decide.

Facial difference and how it is described

This site describes skeletal support, skin thickness, pigment response and scar behaviour as variables that change which options are sensible and where the risks sit. It does not describe any feature as a flaw, does not present a proportion common in a population as a deviation from a standard, and does not treat a reference image taken from another face as a specification. The goal of any plan is set by the person whose face it is.

Findings routed away from aesthetic care

Where a facial change is sudden, one-sided, or accompanied by weakness, numbness, a lump that can be felt, a mole that has changed, or pain with swelling and warmth, the site states that this is a medical matter and names the findings that require urgent assessment. That routing takes precedence over any cosmetic content on the page it appears on.

Patient privacy and reporting a concern

No patient photographs, identifying details or case histories are published on this site without documented consent, and the images used to illustrate the guides are editorial artwork rather than depictions of identifiable patients. If you believe something published here is inaccurate, misleading or non-compliant, tell the hospital administration line; corrections that are justified are made and the review date is updated.
