Deputy Director & Head of Skin & Laser Aesthetics · Attending Physician, Licensed Aesthetic Attending · Lead Physician of This Site
Midface assessment · volume loss against descent · injectable technique and vascular safety
Dr. Ke He is Deputy Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital and head of its skin and laser aesthetic service — and she is the lead physician of this site. A core specialist formerly at the Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery Department of Xinqiao Hospital, affiliated with Army Medical University, she has worked on the clinical front line in skin laser and injectable aesthetics for more than 20 years, serving over ten thousand patients.
On this site her part is the assessment that comes before the material. She establishes which change is actually present in the midface — lost support with the tissue still in place, descent, laxity, or a structure that was always that shape — because only the first of those is answered by adding volume. She works from the position of the malar fullness and the behaviour of the skin rather than from how full the cheek looks, and she treats the possibility of over-filling as a clinical risk rather than a matter of taste. Where the honest answer is a lifting operation, a different specialty, or no treatment at all, she says so at the assessment rather than after a course of injections.

The cheek is where the difference shows
A flattened midface and a descended one look alike in a photograph and are treated in opposite directions. Adding volume to a cheek that has dropped makes the face heavier rather than higher, and because that happens gradually across visits it is usually the patient who notices last. The assessment is the part of this treatment that does the most work.
