Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University — Medical Aesthetics Department
A department in a Nanjing teaching hospital with a named team of three physicians, a published clinical range covering both aesthetic surgery and injectable work, and a stated focus on repairing complications from injectable treatment that went wrong elsewhere.
This page describes the partner department, as it publishes itself — its published figures and photographs, its physicians and their credentials are the department's own. The physicians are the shared part of the partnership: some of the doctors across the five partner departments also work at Luowei, alongside our own medical team. The department is a partner in the clinic's work, not a branch of it.
Who they are
The Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University is a teaching hospital in Nanjing with three campuses. Its Medical Aesthetics Department sits within the hospital's general surgery division, and the department's own page describes it as one of the specialties within the province's Grade 3A hospitals. We are reporting that description; we have not verified the department's standing ourselves.
A small named team
This is the smallest of the partner departments on this site — three physicians, all named and all published by the hospital. That is not a shortcoming of the page: it is the whole published roster, and we would rather print a complete short list than pad it out.
The department states that it set up and leads a multidisciplinary centre in Jiangsu for managing complications from minimally invasive injectable procedures. Read that as a description of a service it offers, not as a claim about outcomes. A centre for treating complications is a different thing from a statement that complications do not happen.
Physicians published. One chief physician and two associate chief physicians.
Holding higher degrees. The department states five staff at doctoral or master's level.
Clinical trials completed. Aesthetic-medicine GCP trials, in the department's own figures.
These are the department's own published figures. On its page the number of physicians and the number of higher degrees are separate claims, and they are not obviously reconcilable: three named physicians, five higher degrees. We print both as published rather than working out which is which on the department's behalf.
What the department covers
Seven areas, as the department lists them. This section transcribes its own wording — it is not a list of what we offer, and it is not a recommendation.
Surgical and reconstructive
- Eye — double-eyelid surgery, eye-bag surgery, brow lift, ptosis correction, and revision of previous surgery
- Nose — comprehensive rhinoplasty and revision
- Ear — accessory auricle and ear reconstruction
- Breast — augmentation and reduction mammaplasty
- Repair and reconstruction — scar revision, and excision and repair of benign and malignant surface tumours
Minimally invasive and injectable
- Injectable reduction of calf and shoulder bulk
- Treatment of axillary odour and hyperhidrosis
- Hyaluronic acid filling
- Thread lifting
- Focused ultrasound
- Radiofrequency microneedling
- Repair and rescue — revision after unsatisfactory aesthetic procedures, and management of complications
Research, as the department states it
The department publishes two research figures: more than ten papers in SCI-indexed journals with a stated cumulative impact factor of 25.6, and more than thirty completed GCP clinical trials in aesthetic medicine.
We do not have any way to check either number, and the second one is worth reading carefully rather than quickly: taking part in a clinical trial is not the same thing as having a treatment proven. If that distinction matters to your decision, it should — ask us, and we will ask the department for the detail rather than paraphrase a number off its page.
The research figures above are the department's, and they are the kind of claim that sounds like a guarantee of quality without being one. We have deliberately placed them next to that warning rather than in a standalone statistics block. Whether any specific procedure is right for you is decided in person — see how to start.
The three physicians it publishes
All three are below, each with a photograph and the profile the hospital publishes for them. The physicians, the photographs and the profiles are the department's, reproduced as it publishes them. None of the three photographs in this section has the hospital's name visible in the image; we checked each one at full size.
Two of the three profiles list professional society positions. Those are reproduced because the hospital publishes them, not because we verified them. One item that appears on one of the profiles is not reproduced here, and the note at the end of this section says why.
Dr Cai Wei
Chief physician · master's · lecturer · administrative director of the department
Stated scope: comprehensive eye surgery including periorbital rejuvenation, revision after previous surgery and ptosis correction; facial rejuvenation surgery and correction of unfavourable results; fat grafting and contouring; breast surgery including augmentation, reduction mammaplasty and correction of ptosis; minimally invasive injection; thread lifting; scar revision; and management of complications from minimally invasive procedures.
Listed memberships as the hospital publishes them: standing committee member of the oculoplastic branch of the China Association of Integrative Medicine's medical aesthetics committee; standing committee member of the facial rejuvenation branch of the China Association of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery; committee member of the medical aesthetics speciality of the Chinese Research Hospital Association; deputy head of the minimally invasive group of the Jiangsu Medical Association's medical aesthetics and beauty branch; chair of the minimally invasive aesthetics and applied anatomy branch, deputy chair of the eye-and-nose branch, deputy chair of the breast surgery branch and deputy chair of the facial rejuvenation branch, all of the Jiangsu Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery Association; vice-president of the medical aesthetics and the anti-ageing branches of the Jiangsu association of socially-run medical institutions; and a committee member of the Jiangsu Association of Integrative Medicine's medical aesthetics speciality.
Translated from the profile the hospital publishes for her. We have not verified it with the hospital.
Dr Li Chang
Associate chief physician · bachelor's
Stated scope: rhinoplasty, breast augmentation and double-eyelid surgery — a short list, and we have not lengthened it.
Memberships as the hospital publishes them: a member of a plastic surgeons' association; a member of a breast aesthetic surgery group; and, as it states, engaged as a vice-president of a plastic surgeons' association and registered on the Jiangsu provincial register of plastic surgeons.
Translated from the profile the hospital publishes for him. The hospital gives these associations without their full names, so this page does not expand them into names of our own — we have not verified it with the hospital.
Dr Qiao Guanqun
Associate chief physician · master's · lecturer · registered aesthetic surgeon, Jiangsu
Stated scope: injectable aesthetic treatment; eye surgery; excision of surface tumours; treatment of axillary odour; scar revision; and liposuction for body contouring.
Listed membership: secretary of the minimally invasive aesthetics group of the Jiangsu association of socially-run medical institutions.
Translated from the profile the hospital publishes for him. We have not verified it with the hospital.
One line on Dr Cai Wei's published profile is not translated here, on purpose. It is a sentence listing overseas visits and exchanges, and on this site it does not appear — see the boundary note. The rest of her profile is reproduced above without alteration.
Where the partnership ends
A page like this can easily read as a claim that this department is ours, or that everything on it happened at Luowei. Neither is true.
- These are the department's physicians. The names, ranks, society positions, profiles and photographs on this page belong to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, and are reproduced as the hospital publishes them.
- Major surgery is delivered by the partner department's own team — its surgeons and its anaesthesiology team, arranged with the department. Which team, and which facility, is confirmed with you in writing before anything is booked.
- We have not independently verified what the department publishes, including its staff and degree counts, its research figures, its society positions and the existence of the complications-management centre. Where two published figures do not reconcile, this page prints both rather than quietly choosing one.
- One published line was left out, and it was not an oversight. Dr Cai Wei's profile includes a sentence listing visits and exchanges abroad. It is not translated on this site. Our reason is not about her — it is about what this site is for: this is a page about where to have treatment in China, and a list of other countries visited is not part of that answer. Omitting a sentence is not the same as contradicting it, and we are telling you it was there rather than leaving you to find it and wonder what else was trimmed.
- No clinic times appear on this page, and none are invented. The hospital publishes its own scheduling across three campuses. We do not reproduce another institution's booking route. Ask us and we will confirm the current arrangement with the department.
- We do not compare. This page describes one named partner department. It does not argue that this department, this city or this country is better than anywhere else, and it does not rank this department against the other partners on the partner index — not even to say it is the smallest, which it happens to be.
No deposit. No prepayment. You pay at the clinic.
You pay after your in-person consultation, before treatment begins. The price we quote online is the price you pay — in writing.
We do not share the medical details you enter here with advertising platforms.
