Rebuilding what injury, difference, or disease has taken — with honest planning at every stage.
The reconstructive plastic surgery service of Chongqing West District Hospital restores form and function after congenital difference, trauma, burns, and tumour surgery — ear reconstruction, scar repair, wound reconstruction, breast reconstruction, and facial nerve repair, planned in stages and explained in plain language.
Assessment first, staged plans, and the full safety net of a tertiary general hospital behind every operation.
- Evidence-based care
- Staged, multidisciplinary plans
- Honest risk and benefit discussions
- Tertiary-hospital safety net
Reconstruction is a pathway, not a single operation
Whether a child needs an ear rebuilt or an adult needs a burn contracture released, every pathway follows the same three principles.
Assess
A careful evaluation of the defect, the surrounding tissue, hearing and function, and what previous treatment has left behind. Reconstruction starts with understanding, not operating.
Plan in stages
We lay out the stages, the timing between them, and what each stage can realistically achieve — including the option to wait when tissues need to settle.
Rebuild & refine
When the plan is agreed, we rebuild using your own tissue whenever possible, then refine the result as healing matures over months to years.
Dedicated specialists within a tertiary hospital
The leadership team of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center brings together specialists in reconstructive and craniofacial surgery, aesthetic surgery, skin and laser care, and dermatology, with the full safety net of a tertiary general hospital behind every treatment.

View profile →Reconstructive conditions, explained honestly
Start with the basics: what each condition involves, when reconstruction helps, what the stages look like, and how recovery really unfolds.
Microtia Reconstruction
Why some children are born with a small or absent outer ear, how microtia is classified, and how staged reconstruction rebuilds the ear framework.
Read the guide →Total Ear Reconstruction

Read the guide →Secondary Ear Reconstruction
Repairing or refining a previously reconstructed ear: why results change over time, when revision helps, and what a secondary operation can realistically improve.
Read the guide →Traumatic Ear Reconstruction
Rebuilding an ear after burns, lacerations, or avulsion injuries: wound care first, why timing matters, and the staged path back to a natural ear shape.
Read the guide →Prominent Ear Correction
Correcting ears that stick out: how the antihelical fold and conchal bowl create prominence, surgical and non-surgical timing, and what correction can achieve.
Read the guide →We will not sell you certainty we do not have
No surgeon can promise an invisible scar, a perfect match, or a complication-free staged reconstruction. Anyone who does is not giving you honest medical advice. Our job is to help you make a well-informed decision — even when that decision is to wait.
