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.

Advertising and claims

This site names no brand of software, guide system or implant, quotes no prices, and makes no claim that any planning method is the standard of care. It does not promise an outcome, does not offer an assessment, and carries no booking pressure of any kind. Every claim is attributed to the kind of evidence behind it, and regulatory status is reported as a separate question from clinical benefit.

Honesty requirements for this subject

Because a rendered image is more persuasive than a plan, this site states which claims are supported and which are not, states that a simulation is not a prediction, and states that planning does not remove the need for an examination. It does not use the technical sophistication of the method as a reason to reassure.

Reviewer and review cycle

Tongchun Mao, MD, Deputy Director and Head of Aesthetic Surgery, is the medical reviewer for this site. Content is reviewed at publication and on a short cycle, because software and clearances change more often than the evidence does, and the date of the most recent review is shown on every page.
