Skin surgery and revision work, explained honestly — what can be improved, and what cannot.
Shaoliang Wang, MD, is Center Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon whose general plastic surgery practice covers assessing and excising skin lesions, removing skin cancers with controlled margins, repairing complex wounds, revising scars and previous cosmetic operations, and common hand and tendon problems — all within a tertiary general hospital.
Assessment before excision, clear explanations, honest risks — and the full safety net of a tertiary general hospital behind every operation.
- Evidence-based guidance
- Diagnosis before any excision
- Honest risk and benefit discussions
- Pathology-confirmed removal
Good skin surgery starts with a diagnosis, not a decision
Whether the problem is a changing mole, a cyst that keeps returning, or a scar that pulls, every plan follows the same three principles.
Assess & diagnose
The lesion is examined in good light, measured, photographed, and sampled where the diagnosis is in doubt. A clinical impression is not a diagnosis — only tissue examined under a microscope settles what a growth is. Where a lesion is stable and harmless, watching it is a legitimate plan.
Plan the excision and the closure
How a wound is closed decides the scar. For a cancer the margin comes first and the reconstruction is designed around the defect that clearance leaves; for a benign lesion the incision is placed along the lines of least tension. The scar you will be left with is described before you consent.
Follow through
A result is judged over months, not days. Review appointments track healing, the pathology report, and scar maturation, and further treatment is recommended only where it genuinely helps. Honest maintenance replaces promises.

The Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center of Chongqing West District Hospital is led by Center Director Shaoliang Wang, MD, working with Tongchun Mao, MD, Ke He, MD, and Yongbo Jia, MD — with the full safety net of a tertiary general hospital behind every operation.

How a plastic surgeon assesses a skin lesion before removal: history, sun exposure, dermoscopy, ABCDE features, photography, review intervals, and when a biopsy or excision is needed rather than observation.
Read the guide →Excision of Moles, Cysts and Lipomas
Why benign moles, cysts and lipomas are removed, how incisions are planned along skin tension lines, what day-case surgery involves, and why a scar always remains after removal.
Read the guide →Skin Cancer Excision and Margin Control
Surgical excision of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma, why complete clearance comes first, how margins and reconstruction are planned, and what follow-up involves.
Read the guide →How a Wound Is Closed Decides the Scar
How tension, direction and layered closure decide the quality of a scar, why a wound closed along relaxed skin tension lines heals better, and what a realistic result looks like.
Read the guide →Complex Wound Repair and the Reconstructive Ladder
What makes a wound complex, how the reconstructive ladder guides the choice between healing, graft and flap, and when to involve a plastic surgeon early.
Read the guide →We will not promise outcomes surgery cannot deliver
No surgeon can remove a lesion without leaving a scar, promise a clear margin before a pathologist has looked at the tissue, or make a revised result look untouched. 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, or to do nothing.
