Meet the Injectable Assessment Team

Skin & laser aesthetics · injectable volume restoration · assessment before an irreversible material

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.

Dr. He performs both of the injectables compared on this site, and her position is that the choice between them follows from one question before any other: what can be done if the result is wrong. Because one of the two materials cannot be dissolved, she reserves it for patients whose finding suits it, whose history is fully known and who understand that the result is not revisable. She declines both where the finding is descent rather than volume, where previous filler has not been accounted for, and where the expectation is a change that an injectable does not produce.

Clinical focus

• Assessment that separates volume loss from descent before any injectable is planned
• Injectable volume restoration, including the choice between a dissolvable and an irreversible material
