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, and the treating team practises within it.
Editorial standards
Content on this site is written for patients, reviewed by a named clinician before publication, and dated. Claims that cannot be supported are removed rather than softened. Where a question has no settled answer, the site says so instead of choosing a side for convenience.
Advertising and claims
This site does not present medicines or devices by brand name, does not publish prices or discounts, and does not use countdowns, scarcity or outcome guarantees. It does not describe any treatment as painless, scarless or free of risk, and it does not present a topical product as a substitute for treatment where the fold is being produced by a muscle or by the descent of a cheek. It states plainly that the muscles keep working, that restoring volume changes how flat the fold sits rather than removing it, and that maintenance is the trade, so that a reasonable reader can decide against treatment after reading it.
Findings routed away from aesthetic care
Where a fold has appeared on one side only, has come on over weeks, or is accompanied by weakness, numbness, drooling or a mouth that no longer closes properly, the site states that this is a medical matter and names the findings that need assessment. A lump that is hard, fixed or growing, or a sore in the fold that has not healed, is routed to a dermatologist for its own sake. That routing takes precedence over any cosmetic content on the page it appears on, and it is stated wherever it is relevant rather than only once.
Patient privacy and reporting a concern
No patient photographs, identifying details or case histories are published on this site without documented consent, and the images used to illustrate the guides are editorial artwork rather than depictions of identifiable patients. If you believe something published here is inaccurate, misleading or non-compliant, tell the hospital administration line; corrections that are justified are made and the review date is updated.
