About the doctor
Dr Xie focuses on craniofacial contouring and reconstruction. His work includes mandibular angle reduction, cheekbone and zygomatic arch reshaping, genioplasty and orthognathic surgery. He treats craniofacial deformities, jaw deviation, facial asymmetry and congenital conditions such as craniosynostosis and orbital hypertelorism. His experience with 3D-printed PEEK and other implants includes digital planning, custom implants, placement beneath the periosteum and revision after previous implantation. He also performs combined eyelid and nasal procedures, facial liposuction and fat grafting, and injections of botulinum toxin or hyaluronic acid. He has led and contributed to national research projects and published more than 10 SCI-indexed papers.
Clinical areas
Receding chin or concerns about chin shape.
Bring previous imaging if available. The team reviews bone support, facial proportions, soft tissues and prior surgery to discuss the suitability and risks of genioplasty, conventional implants or custom 3D-printed PEEK implants.
Prominent cheekbones or a wide jaw angle.
Explain the change you hope to achieve. The assessment includes bone structure, bite and nearby nerves and vessels. The team can discuss cheekbone reduction or mandibular angle surgery, expected changes, recovery and risks.
Congenital or post-traumatic facial asymmetry or jaw deviation.
Bring previous assessments, operative records and scans. The extent and cause of the deformity guide discussion of orthognathic surgery, bone contour reconstruction or augmentation.
Nasal fracture, crooked nose or concerns about nasal shape.
Explain when any injury occurred and how it was treated. The team assesses the nasal bones, septum and airflow before discussing fracture reduction or rhinoplasty.
Facial rejuvenation.
Describe concerns such as wrinkles, under-eye bags or volume loss. The team considers age, skin and goals when discussing botulinum toxin, hyaluronic acid, orbital septum release, liposuction or fat grafting.

Before you seek care
Records to prepare
For contouring and reconstruction, bring facial CT or 3D reconstruction images, prior operation reports and medical records. For cosmetic procedures, explain your goals and bring relevant prior records. Confirm requirements with the hospital.
Appointment arrangements
The profile lists the South and North campuses and the Gaoke specialist clinic. Check the current schedule through the hospital’s official booking channels.
- Seek immediate local emergency care for acute maxillofacial injury with bleeding, difficulty breathing or altered consciousness.
- Contouring and reconstructive operations have specific indications and risks. Suitability requires an in-person examination and imaging. The treating team provides the assessment.
- International patients should confirm appointment availability, the campus (South, North or Gaoke specialist clinic), language support and required records through the hospital’s official channels.
