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.

Advertising and claims

This site describes eyelid surgery by operation rather than by brand, does not name a branded medicine or device, does not quote prices, does not quote dosages, and does not claim that an operation produces a particular result. It states risks, limits and alternatives, including doing nothing, and it names the physician responsible for the medical content.

Honesty requirements for this area

Because the skin removed from the lid is the skin that closes over the eye, this site states the effect on lid closure and the dry eye question wherever the amount of skin is described, and it states plainly that a brow lift and a muscle repair are different operations rather than variations of this one. Because skin that has been removed cannot be replaced, the hollow lid that follows over-resection is described wherever the extent of removal is discussed.
