When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 239: Chapter 240: The Scarred Leader Monster (Extra for Hall Master Wo Jǔ Gè Lì Zi)

Three women emerged from Fu Yulan’s hospital room, faces flushed with excitement and agitation.

Clearly, they were moved!

They originally came just to accompany one of them to inquire about the market, but after seeing the price tag of a million, they all grew curious—what could a million make you look like?

And at this moment, after seeing the before-and-after photos of Fu Yulan, they were utterly dumbstruck!

The transformation was simply too vast, too beautiful!

The difference in her figure from before was enormous!

Of course, Fu Yulan herself had an excellent foundation, having been a dancer and routinely exercising. After Long Bear’s surgery, it was like gilding the lily.

Um… buyer’s show versus seller’s show!

But undeniable was the fact that Fu Yulan’s change had indeed brightened everyone’s eyes, almost as if giving hope to the crowd.

The chatter of the five women in the sickroom was bursting with excitement.

Moreover, when the three of them learned that Fu Yufang had also had some minor work done on her face, they were even more flabbergasted.

Women can easily become friends, sometimes all it takes is a common language regarding a cosmetic product.

Thus, Fu Yufang simply took out her phone to show everyone the before-and-after photos of her minor procedures, which immediately made the others’ hearts pound!

Must get it done!

They must!

All three of them already spent a not insignificant sum on maintenance every year, and now that such an opportunity, a chance to become more beautiful, was before them, no one wanted to miss out.

And upon hearing that Chen Cang was especially busy, the three grew even more anxious internally. They worried they might miss the chance if Chen Cang left and no longer had time, potentially rendering all their excitement for naught!

A wasted thrill!

With this thought in mind, the three quickly communicated with Chen Cang, arranged the timing, temporarily processed a transfer to this hospital, prepared the necessary work, and intended to undergo surgery the following week.

…

…

This was Chen Cang’s first visit to the dermatology department of Dongda First Hospital.

The hospital’s skin surgery ward and the plastic surgery hospital were worlds apart, the environment here was a lot less refined than in the plastic surgery hospital, but it felt more like a real hospital to Chen Cang.

Nearing noon on Saturday, the ward was still bustling with activity, with everyone rushing about, and the nurse station’s call bell ringing from time to time.

Chen Cang’s arrival did not cause the slightest ripple in this busy department, and as he turned around, he immediately saw Qin Xiang hurrying his way.

Qin Xiang had been waiting rather anxiously, pacing back and forth by the elevator doors.

Upon seeing Chen Cang, his heart leaped with joy, and he hurried over, “Xiao Chen, you’ve arrived! Thank you for your hard work!”

To be honest, Qin Xiang was truly moved inside and extremely happy to see Chen Cang, “Come on, follow me to see the patients.”

Qin Xiang did not bother with small talk with Chen Cang; he had invited him to visit the patients, not to have tea. Together, they headed straight to bed 7-20. As soon as Chen Cang walked in, he saw a little girl lying on the bed nearest the door. From the side, she looked very pretty, with delicate features that appeared even more exquisite in the light and shadow streaming in through the window.

But as the girl turned her head, a terrifying scar from a burn appeared before Chen Cang, which made him involuntarily swallow hard!

The massive scar stretched from the right cheekbone down to the base of the neck, like a horrifying mask grotesquely placed upon such a delicate face.

Chen Cang couldn’t help but look up to meet the girl’s eyes. Suddenly, the lively eyes lost all their luster. She quickly turned her head away, lowered it, and with a shake, her hair cascaded down, covering half of her face. She bowed her head in a way reminiscent of an ostrich, appearing to sink humbly into the dust.

In that instant, Chen Cang felt as if his heart had been fiercely grasped, a tight clench, painfully so!

Qin Xiang seemed to have already grown accustomed to such sights. He sighed, gave Chen Cang a glance, and walked inside.

“Xin Xin, where’s your dad?”

“He’s gone to buy food.” The girl’s voice was very quiet, as if speaking loudly might startle herself.

Qin Xiang nodded and said, “Xin Xin, this is the doctor I invited to specially design a facial flap transplantation surgery for you. Sit tight, and let Dr. Chen take a good look, okay?”

The girl hesitated for a long time before she finally let out a long sigh, lowered her head and tidied her hair, revealing her face. When she lifted her face, her eyes were tightly shut, and she said nothing; this set of movements was so fluid that it tugged at anyone’s heartstrings to watch.

Such a lovely young girl!

Chen Cang, at this moment, took a close look. He had originally thought that the marks in her eyes were yellow, but to his surprise, they were red.

[Scar Monster, lvl 50, Boss, scar tissue left after a burn, deeply entrenched and with a bizarre shape, large in size.]

Red represents disease, while yellow represents imperfection.

Chen Cang touched the scar tissue with his hand, feeling the extent of the tissue damage after the burn. Chen Cang wasn’t very knowledgeable about burn medicine, but he knew quite a lot about flap transplantation.

The girl’s skin was very fair, but for that very reason, any mismatch after flap transplantation would be even more noticeable.

Chen Cang kept observing, trying to find a more suitable flap transplantation method so as to fit the flap to the face as well as possible without causing too much pigment contrast.

For such large-area flap transplantations, they’re commonly used on limbs. Facial flap transplantation is quite challenging: first, it’s very difficult, and second, the survival rate isn’t high.

After seeing too many flap transplantations, where the skin on the face turned dark and bruised, it actually looked even more horrifying!

Therefore, before undertaking flap transplantation, it’s imperative to ensure that the area to be repaired is severely damaged, with poor circulation and significant exposure of crucial nerves, blood vessels, and tendons, which cannot be directly covered by surrounding skin.

This is a major undertaking!

Due to the excessively wide scars on the right cheek, it was impossible to undertake a flap transplantation!

Chen Cang realized that this kind of design was completely different from aesthetic design!

If it was a matter of aesthetics, it would merely be a matter of carving and trimming.

But the design at hand required a lot of work!

First and foremost was the choice of the flap.

Next was the design of the flap.

Then, after designing the flap, one needs to consider how to stretch and suture it so as to achieve a good visual effect after recovery.

What is flap transplantation?

Essentially, it’s moving flesh from another part of your body to the area in question.

It might seem simple, but there are many factors to consider.

First of all, the transplanted flesh needs good circulation, enabling your skin to stay alive and thrive, rather than just a dead patch.

Of course, to call a flap simply a piece of flesh is a bit crude. More specifically, a flap is a piece of skin with its attached subcutaneous fat tissue that has its own blood supply.

During the formation and transfer of the flap, part of it must remain connected to the body (the donor site) through a section known as the pedicle to maintain blood supply. The rest is detached from the body, both on the surface and in depth, and transferred to another wound.

Then it’s stitched up, supplying the previously missing facial area with skin.

This is an advanced surgical technique!

It is also a continuous focus of effort in the fields of dermatology and plastic surgery.
