For Cases That Do Not Begin with a Blank Canvas

Some cosmetic procedures begin with healthy, untreated tissue. Others begin with a burn scar, a congenital difference, an earlier operation or a result that did not go as planned.

In these cases, the question is not simply, “How can this look better?” It is also, “What has already changed beneath the surface, and what can still be improved safely?”

This is where Professor Hu Zhi Qi’s reconstructive background becomes especially relevant.

The Doctor Clients Often Seek After a Difficult Starting Point

Dr. Hu is a Second-grade Professor, Chief Physician, Doctoral Supervisor and Postdoctoral Co-supervisor. He serves as Chief Consultant at Guangdong Clifford Hospital Cosmetic Surgery Center and has held senior clinical and academic responsibilities at Southern Medical University Nanfang Hospital.

With close to four decades of experience, his work spans aesthetic surgery, reconstruction and microsurgery. Rather than viewing appearance separately from function, he assesses tissue condition, existing scars, blood supply, previous surgical changes and the realistic limits of further correction.

Cases Within His Main Focus

• Burn, injury and postoperative scar repair
• Revision of previous eye, nose and breast procedures
• Congenital difference correction
• Difficult cases and complication management
• Abdominoplasty, liposuction and body contouring
• Hair transplantation and hairline restoration
• Facial rejuvenation

Why Revision Is Not Simply “Doing It Again”

After an earlier procedure, the anatomy is no longer untouched. There may be scar tissue, reduced flexibility, changes in blood supply or implanted material that must be considered.

A responsible revision plan begins by understanding why the earlier result is unsatisfactory. The safest answer may be a full correction, a limited improvement, treatment in stages or, in some situations, no further surgery.

Dr. Hu’s reconstructive and microsurgical experience is most meaningful here: not because every difficult case can be completely corrected, but because complex tissue requires careful judgement before another procedure is attempted.
