Dr. Jessie Chao-Yun Chi, MD, PhD, is Chief of the Department of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery at Taichung Municipal Geriatric Rehabilitation General Hospital – Managed by China Medical University, Taichung, Taiwan. She specializes in comprehensive, integrated sleep care, with expertise spanning integrated sleep medicine, sleep surgery, functional facial plastic surgery, and the clinical integration of CPAP and oral appliance therapy (OAT). Her practice focuses on individualized treatment pathways for obstructive sleep apnea, combining medical management, device-based therapy, and patient-specific structural reconstruction.

Dr. Chi also has particular expertise in functional rhinoplasty, nasal airway optimization, velopharyngeal reconstruction, and skeletal airway procedures, including genioglossus advancement genioplasty (GGA) and chin advancement surgery. Her clinical philosophy emphasizes the integration of airway function, facial form, and long-term treatment outcomes in both adult and pediatric patients.

Dr. Chi completed visiting observer training at the Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery and Sleep Medicine Center at Stanford Hospital and at the Division of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Department of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, Boston Medical Center. These cross-disciplinary experiences helped shape her approach at the interface of breathing, beauty, and structural airway reconstruction.

Her work emphasizes the concept of “Breathing and Beauty,” aligning sleep medicine, device-based therapy, airway reconstruction, and functional facial plastic surgery into practical, phenotype-driven care. An invited speaker and moderator at multiple international and domestic meetings, Dr. Chi has published on nasal surgery, sleep-disordered breathing, and airway-related surgical outcomes. At SARC 2026, she serves as moderator, speaker, and cadaver course faculty, sharing pragmatic strategies that integrate airway restoration with structural and aesthetic refinement.
