Biography

Dr. Liu Chao (柳超) is a medical aesthetics expert and maxillofacial surgeon whose practice focuses on facial bone contouring and rhinoplasty. As the son of Professor Liu Dalie, he grew up within a tradition of rigorous surgical scholarship, and he further refined his skills under the guidance of Dr. Jung Dong, a respected Korean aesthetic surgery authority. This combination of inherited clinical discipline and international training shapes his patient-centered approach to facial aesthetics.

His core areas of expertise include rhinoplasty, mandibular angle reduction, zygomatic and zygomatic arch contouring, and the new long-curve mandibular angle ostectomy (新型下颌角长曲线截骨术). He is recognized as one of the relatively few maxillofacial surgery experts in China who regularly performs both facial bone contouring and rhinoplasty, allowing him to evaluate the face as a unified structure rather than as isolated features.

The new long-curve mandibular angle ostectomy is designed to address limitations associated with traditional angle resection. By planning a continuous, smooth osteotomy line, the procedure aims to avoid a blunt secondary angle, create a softer jawline, and support natural facial proportions. Dr. Liu Chao uses imaging and facial analysis to customize the curve according to the patient's bone thickness, nerve position, soft-tissue envelope, and aesthetic goals. This individualized planning is central to achieving a contour that looks balanced rather than surgically obvious.

In rhinoplasty, Dr. Liu Chao emphasizes structural support, tip refinement, dorsal harmony, and long-term stability. He considers skin thickness, underlying cartilage strength, nasal length, and facial proportions when selecting a surgical plan. His approach is especially attentive to Asian facial features, seeking results that enhance the nose without disrupting the patient's natural identity or creating excessive exaggeration.

His philosophy centers on safety, restraint, and long-term harmony. He believes aesthetic surgery should respect each patient's original facial character while correcting proportions that cause functional or aesthetic concern. For bone contouring, this means preserving support and avoiding over-resection; for rhinoplasty, it means prioritizing breathing function, structural integrity, and a natural transition between the nose and surrounding facial features.

During consultation, Dr. Liu Chao reviews medical history, facial proportions, bite and airway considerations, and previous procedures. For mandibular angle surgery, assessment includes bone morphology, masseter volume, marginal mandibular nerve course, and soft-tissue response. For rhinoplasty, he evaluates skin thickness, tip support, dorsal height, and nasal function. He explains surgical trade-offs, recovery expectations, and realistic outcomes so that patients can make informed decisions.

Dr. Liu Chao's background in maxillofacial surgery gives him a detailed understanding of skeletal anatomy, occlusion, and facial soft-tissue dynamics. His association with Professor Liu Dalie and his training with Dr. Jung Dong inform a practice that combines academic rigor, technical precision, and contemporary aesthetic judgment. He remains committed to continuing education and to refining techniques that prioritize safety, natural results, and patient satisfaction.

Patients seeking facial contouring or rhinoplasty often value his ability to combine maxillofacial expertise with an aesthetic eye. Whether performing a long-curve mandibular angle ostectomy, zygomatic arch reduction, or structural rhinoplasty, Dr. Liu Chao aims to deliver balanced, harmonious results that support both facial function and long-term confidence.
