He is a Changjiang Scholar Dr. appointed by the Ministry of Education, a recipient of the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, and an expert enjoying special allowances from the State Council. He is the President of the Plastic Surgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and the President of the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Branch of the Chinese Association of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery. He created the "Full-Face Preconstruction and Reconstruction Technology" ("Chinese-Style Face Transplantation"), and in 2012 successfully completed the world's first autologous tissue full-face preconstruction transplant. The surgery involves multiple steps: first, an expander is implanted in the patient's chest to allow skin growth; then, 3D printing is used to "sculpt" the facial contours under the expanded skin; finally, the tissue is transplanted to the face, achieving precise anastomosis of blood vessels finer than a hair. To date, he has completed over 100 highly complex full-face reconstruction surgeries, achieving a zero mortality rate, with 92% of patients returning to work and study. He has proposed a series of original achievements, including the "3L3M Fat Transplantation Technology" and the "Classification and Reconstruction Technology for Burned Faces." He has published over 200 papers and received the National Science and Technology Progress Award, the First Prize of the Ministry of Education's Science and Technology Achievement Award, the First Prize of the Shanghai Science and Technology Progress Award, and the Wang Zhengguo Outstanding Contribution Award in Trauma Medicine.
