Biography

Shi Yaoming, Chief Physician and Professor, graduated from Shanghai Second Medical College and has been practicing for 33 years. During this period, he pursued advanced training at the University of Sydney in Australia and the International Microsurgery Research Center, specializing in plastic surgery and microsurgery. Dr. Shi has comprehensively and systematically mastered professional theoretical knowledge in the field of plastic surgery, as well as diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical skills. He has relatively extensive clinical experience in difficult cases and highly complex operations in aesthetic surgery, maxillofacial surgery, burn reconstruction, and microsurgery. His work includes the treatment of scar contracture deformities of the head, face, neck, and limbs after trauma and burns, especially the correction of maxillofacial and cervical scar contracture and the severe open bite and reverse bite deformities it causes using orthognathic surgery. He also performs functional repair and reconstruction of claw hand and mutilated hand after burns, and reconstruction of facial organs including the ear, nose, and orbital cavity. He also performs repair and reconstruction of traumatic zygomatico-orbital deformities.
In aesthetic surgery, he has profound attainments in cosmetic surgery of the eyelids, nose, and lips; facial skin tightening (rhytidectomy); aesthetic plastic surgery of the zygoma, mandible, and chin; liposuction for localized adiposity of the face, trunk, and limbs; reduction mammoplasty; augmentation mammoplasty; abdominoplasty for abdominal laxity; and other body contouring procedures. In addition, he has rich experience in the repair of tissue defects after surgery for benign and malignant superficial tumors, such as the treatment of neurofibroma and giant nevus, breast reconstruction after breast tumor resection, and the treatment of congenital maxillofacial deformities, such as congenital cleft lip and palate, developmental deformities of the first and second branchial arches, and hemifacial atrophy.
Research: He has participated in several research projects funded by national and local Natural Science Foundations. He is currently involved in the clinical application components of the tissue engineering projects led by Professor Cao Yilin, titled “Basic Research and Clinical Application of Bone Tissue Engineering Technology for Repairing Bone Defects” and “Basic Research and Clinical Application of Skin Tissue Engineering Technology for Repairing Skin Defects.” He has published more than 20 papers and contributed to the compilation of 4 professional books.
