Skin surgery with a hospital behind it
Part of a Tertiary Hospital
Chongqing West District Hospital is a modern tertiary general hospital in Chongqing. Its Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center opened in April 2026 and operates six coordinated service lines, including reconstructive surgery, aesthetic surgery, and laser- and energy-based procedures.
Focused on Skin Cancer
This service concentrates on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of skin cancer and skin lesions: dermoscopy and biopsy, excision with margin control, reconstruction of the resulting defect, and surveillance afterwards — covering actinic keratosis, Bowen disease, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma and benign tumours.
Pathology on Every Specimen
Every lesion removed is examined under the microscope. Because the service sits inside a tertiary hospital, it also draws on hospital-grade anesthesia, preoperative laboratory and imaging workup, blood-bank and intensive-care backup, and emergency response. That is the difference between an operating room and a procedure room.
Diagnosis and honesty before operation
We believe the most important part of skin cancer surgery happens before the incision: getting the diagnosis right, telling you honestly what the pathology means, and explaining that complete clearance comes before the appearance of the scar. That is why this site leads with patient education rather than sales language.
Evidence-Based
Our guidance reflects established dermatologic and surgical evidence and honest discussion of risk, not marketing claims.
Plain-Language
We explain margins, pathology reports, Breslow thickness and reconstruction options in clear English, so you can take part in every decision.
Honest About Limits
Scars are permanent, some skin cancers recur or spread, and no outcome is guaranteed. We tell you what each operation can and cannot achieve before you commit.
Chongqing West District Hospital
Chongqing West District Hospital is a tertiary general hospital developed as a major healthcare project for Chongqing, with a planned capacity of up to 1,200 beds and more than 300 types of advanced medical equipment. More than 200 specialists with backgrounds at institutions affiliated with Army Medical University practice across more than 40 clinical departments, supported by nine major medical centres including the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center.
The hospital's culture, shaped by military medicine, emphasises discipline, rigour, and responsibility in clinical care. For patients with a suspicious skin lesion, the defining advantage is that pathology, anesthesia, imaging and intensive care stand behind every excision.
