Ke He (何锞)
Deputy Director & Head of Skin & Laser Aesthetics · Attending Physician, Licensed Aesthetic Attending · Lead Physician of This Site
Injectables · the under-eye area · the boundary between a bulge and a hollow
Dr. Ke He is Deputy Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital and head of its skin and laser aesthetic service — and she is the lead physician of this site. A core specialist formerly at the Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery Department of Xinqiao Hospital, affiliated with Army Medical University, she has worked on the clinical front line in skin laser and injectable aesthetics for more than 20 years, serving over ten thousand patients.
Dr. He works through the lower lid in a fixed order, and the first step is not a treatment. She looks at the contour with the light in front of the patient rather than overhead, turns the head to the side, and asks what the area does through the day — whether the puffiness is there when the patient wakes and settles by midday, which points to fluid and not to fat. She supports the cheek and the rim with a finger to see whether the darkness lightens and the surface flattens, because a hollow that does not change under that support is not a hollow. Skin tone, dryness and any flare of eczema are checked before anything is offered. Where the finding is pigment, fluid, an active skin condition or a thyroid or kidney cause, she says so and refers, and on this site that answer is written down as a legitimate outcome rather than as a lost appointment.

The direction of the treatment
A bulge and a hollow are opposite problems, and they are described by patients in almost the same words. Once the direction is known, the choice between the two options here usually follows on its own, and so does the decision that neither is right. Getting that direction wrong is not a small error: it produces a result that is further from the goal than doing nothing at all.
