Biography

Gu Congmin, Attending Physician and Ph.D. in Plastic Surgery, currently works in the Department of Facial and Cervical Plastic Surgery at Badachu Plastic Surgery Hospital. After entering Peking Union Medical College as a graduate student, Dr. Gu began specializing in plastic surgery. Following three years of standardized clinical surgical residency training and subsequent specialty training in plastic surgery, Dr. Gu has focused on periocular, facial, and cervical plastic surgery at the Facial and Cervical Plastic Surgery Center, and has been engaged in clinical practice, research, and teaching in plastic surgery for more than ten years.

Areas of expertise include revision after periocular plastic surgery; for various causes of failed eye plastic surgery, Dr. Gu formulates targeted revision plans. For double-eyelid surgery, Dr. Gu carefully listens to patients' concerns and develops individualized designs by comprehensively considering the patient's aesthetic preferences and specific eyelid morphology. For the treatment of periocular aging, Dr. Gu advocates the principles of “brow—eye” integration and “eye bag—tear trough” integration, and rationally selects surgical plans. In facial fat grafting and liposuction, Dr. Gu is always alert to “going beyond is as bad as falling short” and adheres to the principles of quality over quantity and small amounts in multiple sessions, strictly avoiding skin unevenness caused by excessive liposuction and facial puffiness caused by excessive filling. Injectable cosmetic treatment is a “minor procedure with profound knowledge”; only by being familiar with facial anatomy and avoiding complications such as nerve injury and vascular embolism can truly minimally invasive and safe treatment be achieved.

For a plastic and aesthetic surgeon, healing often begins with listening; striving to be a good listener is as important as pursuing continuous refinement of skills. Although beauty has commonalities, there is no standard answer. Only by accurately understanding patients' concerns is it possible to implement targeted treatment plans and achieve ideal surgical outcomes.
