Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Are You Sure You’re… Nitpicking?
In the operating room, before the surgery, Chen Cang needed to design for the customer once again.
Although a design had already been made in advance, Chen Cang still needed to make preparations before the surgery.
Behind Chen Cang stood four big shots, no, that’s not right, three big shots plus one Zhang Zhixin.
Zhang Zhixin stood there, feeling apprehensive and a bit nervous.
On the other hand, looking at Chen Cang, he was calm and collected, with every stroke deliberate, seeming not nervous in the least.
At this, Zhang Zhixin couldn’t help but mock himself, feeling utterly useless!
He was no match for Chen Cang!
Chen Cang’s eyes were constantly thinking about how to implant the prosthesis, where it would be after implantation, what kind of structure and method… and so on and so forth, as well as having the “patient” constantly change positions.
Since the patient was a dancer, and a professional at that, many issues had to be taken into consideration.
Gong Daizhen, looking through the patient’s records, couldn’t help but mutter to herself, performing breast augmentation surgery for a dancer—she had done it, but… it was after retirement.
For a dancer as young as this, at the peak of her career, it was her first time seeing one.
Can the surgery really be successful?
Gong Daizhen asked herself, could she manage it?
She wasn’t sure either.
As for Qin Xiang and Yang Tao, they were utterly baffled.
Breast augmentation for a dancer… that’s too absurd, isn’t it? Chen Cang was surely too bold!
They didn’t know that all of Chen Cang’s surgeries today were on dancers.
After more than thirty minutes of tedious preoperative design, it was soon time to start the surgery.
After the anesthesiologist administered anesthesia, the surgery was ready to begin.
The same armpit incision method was used.
Chen Cang skillfully followed the skin folds of the armpit, making a clever incision.
The bleeding was minimal, and the incision was only about 2-3 centimeters long.
A very nice incision, that was Gong Daizhen’s assessment.
And at that moment, Chen Cang began to separate the skin and fascia.
Watching Chen Cang take up the separation forceps, ready to probe deeper bit by bit, Gong Daizhen and Qin Xiang exchanged glances!
Both were taken aback!
Were they not going to use an endoscope???
Most current breast augmentation surgeries use an endoscope because it facilitates the placement of implants, making them more reliable—after all, seeing is believing!
But Chen Cang didn’t use one!
Zhang Zhixin seemed to be used to it; he helped Chen Cang continue to separate along the subfascial layer towards the lateral edge of the muscle.
All these were simple!
The most challenging part of breast augmentation surgery was the implantation and fixation of the prosthesis, as well as the mastery of its shape.
Because the patient lies down during surgery!
If you want to take many effects into account, you must have a precise idea in mind.
For the average person, being a bit high or a bit low or a bit off doesn’t matter, as long as the size is right.
But is that really the case?
Of course not!
With the instrument in hand, Chen Cang adeptly separated muscle and fascia, finding the gap between the pectoralis major and minor muscles, and bluntly dissected it!
Neat and decisive, even without an endoscope, it didn’t affect the surgery at all.
Gong Daizhen watched with some admiration in her heart, how many operations must it take to achieve such proficiency?
Chen Cang asked himself, it seemed his understanding of the anatomy of the chest was more familiar than anything else.
God knows how many surgeries he had performed?n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
He could even identify each muscle fiber by touch as if greeting a relative, perhaps even exchanging greetings.
With Zhang Zhixin’s assistance, Chen Cang received the prosthesis, clamped it with his fingers, and step by step, through the incision, placed it into the cavity between the dissected pectoralis major and minor muscles.
Chen Cang suddenly realized that he had become even more skilled than before!
Perhaps it had a lot to do with dexterity?
When he first performed the surgery, there were no gloves equipped, and his fingers lacked enhanced dexterity, which might have made him more clumsy.
Because when inserting the implant, you constantly need to adjust its shape and position with your fingers—this is a task that is very delicate and tests your skill!
All of this, Chen Cang relied solely on feel, watching the exterior, continuously adjusting through touch.
Searching for a feeling.
Time kept ticking away.
The three watched Chen Cang’s surgery intently.
But… they couldn’t see much because, without an endoscope, they could only feel Chen Cang’s fingers changing things around, then using the same separation forceps that had not been retracted, adjusting the fascia and muscles.
Qin Xiang felt somewhat embarrassed.
Was this blind manipulation?
But what happened next took them by surprise.
Chen Cang kept adjusting, each time, each step, comparing back and forth at least a dozen times.
With every adjustment, they felt it seemed to become more natural.
Every change, they felt something singularly different.
Proportions!
Height!
Measure!
…
Chen Cang meticulously scrutinized and adjusted every detail.
At that moment, Gong Daizhen, as an experienced plastic surgeon, suddenly understood what made such impressive “products” possible!
Because of the attitude!
Because of the detail!
Chen Cang treated breast augmentation surgery as if it were a delicate instrument, constantly adjusting and changing it, as if it were a piece of art that needed continuous sculpting.
And not just a straightforward breast enhancement!
What Chen Cang did was more than just surgery!
It was art.
Moreover, Gong Daizhen discovered that Chen Cang had a unique talent for space, distance, and placement; each of his adjustments made the whole seem even more fitting.
No wonder it could be worth a million!
Because ordinary people can’t achieve that.
That which others cannot do naturally becomes treasured.
After seeing this, Gong Daizhen suddenly felt that Chen Cang’s plastic surgery had opened up a new direction and era.
That was a sense of proportion!
A completely different new approach from the Korean style of plastic surgery.
Perhaps…
After the surgery, when the patient sat up,
everyone in the room was stunned!
So beautiful!
Really beautiful.
Perhaps it should be described as breathtaking.
Especially when comparing before and after the surgery, this stark contrast gave a feeling of a world apart.
After seeing this, Gong Daizhen sighed and shook her head.
This kind of thing really comes down to talent!
Something you can’t learn.
Plastic surgery really isn’t like other surgical procedures, it requires a very high demand for aesthetics, spatial sense, detail, and a sense of distance.
However, it seemed… that Chen Cang had all of these qualities!
Thinking of this, Gong Daizhen couldn’t help but shake her head, and when she looked at Chen Cang again, she had even more anticipation.
This might just be talent, right?
This might be what it means to be naturally cut out for the job, right?
With these thoughts, Gong Daizhen took a deep breath; this trip was really worth it, an eye-opener!
And it broadened her horizons considerably.
Chen Cang’s Long Bear surgery indeed expanded Gong Daizhen’s vision and inspired her tremendously!
Gong Daizhen’s mind raced with many ideas, like how to perfect Long Bear surgery, to advance the domestic plastic surgery industry!
After all, the plastic surgery industry at home really has shallow roots; it requires innovation from generation after generation for development.
And Chen Cang’s surgery seemed to show Gong Daizhen a new path, or rather, opened a new skylight.
Perhaps, after returning, cooperation with the University of Science and Technology should be scheduled, specially designing an instrument to precisely control and measure the details of surgery…
This seems to be a viable path!
But, to undertake this research, Chen Cang would be the most suitable consultant. After the surgery was over, Gong Daizhen decided to have a thorough talk with Chen Cang about this matter.
This trip, truly, was not made in vain!
…
…
Zhang Zhixin had grown accustomed to it, looking at the three people dumbfounded like stunned chickens, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Being shocked is good, being shocked is good!
The first one…
The second one…
The third one…
They nervously ate lunch.
And continued with the surgeries!
Four or five people, seemingly tireless, completed all five surgeries!
The more they did, the more everyone marveled, Chen Cang, are you a robot?
Five surgeries without a single mistake!
Five surgeries, all detail control in place!
You must be a robot, right?
Qin Xiang’s eyes were fervent as he looked at Chen Cang and then turned to Gong Daizhen, “President Gong, can Chen join the National Society for Plastic Surgery?”
Gong Daizhen’s eyes also lit up, right!
“Of course, he can!”
Gong Daizhen would even clap her hands in welcome for Chen Cang.
The Association of Plastic Surgeons just needed the new generation of talent like Chen Cang.
After speaking, Gong Daizhen looked at Chen Cang excitedly, “Chen, submit your application and join our organization as soon as possible! We’re lacking talents like you.”
Chen Cang looked at everyone and then at the excited President Gong, and couldn’t help but be taken aback!
He looked up, puzzled, and glanced at Zhang Zhixin, Didn’t you say President Gong came to find fault?
This is clearly… coming to praise me!
Zhang Zhixin was also baffled, How would I know?
ps: Hehe, I think five surgeries could have made five chapters, haha, but look, I merged five chapters into one. Promise me, you won’t say I’m padding it out, okay? /SeriousFaceJPG.
Last but not least, thank you for the 10,000 starting coins reward from ‘After White, There Comes Black’!
