Teacher Sun's recovery after the operation was very good. The blood supply to the head is rich and the scalp can survive in a few days.
A few days later, Teacher Sun stood in front of the big mirror in the bathroom of the ward and observed himself carefully, not missing any detail. It was hard to believe that this strange face was his own, and Teacher Sun felt a little like he was in another world.
"The skin on the face is transplanted, so normal expression ability cannot be achieved, and the face will appear stiff. In the future, the expressive muscles need to be trained, and the tightness of the skin can be adjusted according to the changes in the expressive muscles, so that the skin and the expressive muscles can Able to perform fine follow-up movements to restore the best expression ability," said Ivan next to him.
Song Zimo translated to Teacher Sun. Teacher Sun could not understand this. He only knew that the operation was successful and powerful. He only knew that he had successfully changed his face.
The final expression adjustment technology is the supreme technology of plastic surgery. This is another technology that Ivan is unique in the world. Apart from him, no one can restore and adjust the expression at will.
The composition of expressions, from facial expression awareness to facial muscle contraction, to skin expression changes, is a close system. The vast majority of plastic surgeons in the world are blank in this aspect, but a few doctors who master this technology have mastered The technology is very crude, and only Ivan can mediate as he pleases.
This includes rich surgical experience, anatomical and physiological research on facial expressions, and a large amount of case data collection, all of which are indispensable.
Moreover, the establishment of a computer model based on a large amount of data will further contribute to the precision of expression mediation.
For example, after facelift surgery, the activities of the skin and expressive muscles lose normal coordination. However, the muscle contraction reaction on the skin will be deformed or lost, and the expressive ability will be lost.
To restore the ability to express, one must be familiar with the contraction of facial skin and muscles. Ivan has done a lot of research on this aspect. He knows how to exercise muscles and adjust the skin so that the skin can cooperate naturally and delicately when participating in expression changes. muscle.
"You mean my face can still be expressive?" Teacher Sun patted her face left and right, like a woman applying moisturizing skin care products.
Ivan nodded: "Not only can your expressions be enriched, but the expression is like a second face. It has thousands of models to match your current facial contours and personality. I need to choose one for you. Mode, your personality is gentle and caring, so your expression should be equipped with this spiritual connotation, and there should be no elements of ferocity, vulgarity, or hypocrisy.”
Even Song Zimo was surprised. He had never heard of such plastic surgery technology. Ivan deserved to be ranked number one in the world.
"Why do I feel that this face is so tender and looks like she is in her early twenties?" Teacher Sun touched his face again and said to the mirror.
Teacher Sun's original age was in her thirties. After putting on the new face, based solely on the texture of her skin, she was in her twenties.
The people around her took a closer look, and indeed, she looked very young. Before, no one paid much attention to this aspect, but now when they took a closer look, they saw that she was really very young.
"This involves the high-end technology of plastic surgery - age setting. Aging not only causes the surface skin to lose elasticity and luster, but the deep bones and muscles will also change due to aging. People of different age groups are different. Your true If you are in your thirties, it is very easy to set your face to be in your twenties, because the faces of these two age groups are not very different. Facial aging is reflected in the slightly deepened nasolabial folds, the middle part of the face, the eyes and the lips. The surroundings are slightly sunken, and we only need to deal with these few points to achieve the goal." Ivan explained very professionally.
Director Lan, the plastic surgeon next to him, had heard for the first time that facial expressions could be adjusted and that such precise plastic surgery technology aimed at rejuvenation could be used.
"Can you help me change my face too! To a face in my twenties?"
Boss Liao on the side asked enviously. He didn't expect the surgery to be so effective. It was simply a rejuvenation technique.
"Of course, but there is a prerequisite." Ivan shrugged.
"What's the premise?" Boss Liao asked anxiously.
Ivan thought for a while and said very seriously: "If you want to change from your fifties to your twenties, you need to do a lot of work. Compared with young people in their twenties, you will have all kinds of grooves on your face." For example, the nasolabial folds and tear troughs will be significantly deepened, the forehead will also move backward, the middle of the face will become flat, the chin will begin to protrude, the cheeks on both sides will droop, the eyes will become smaller, the outer corners of the eyes will droop, and the nose will become longer and smaller. Wider, the tip of the nose will appear drooping, and the lips will become thinner and move downward. "This means that your aging occurs comprehensively from bones-muscles-skin, with a mixture of gravity, bone resorption, tissue elasticity decline, and changes in fat position." , caused your facial condition today. We need to reverse these aging processes to restore youth, so the workload is huge and meticulous. According to my charges, the price of this surgery is more than 50 million US dollars, and this is the basic price. ”
Facial bones are the basic framework of the appearance, supporting and fixing the muscles, ligaments and other soft tissues of the face. When the shape of the bones changes, the skin and flesh attached to them will naturally change their position.
In order to improve his bone plastic surgery skills, Ivan came to China from New Zealand to visit Yang Ping, hoping to learn Yang Ping's bone plastic surgery abilities and make deep plastic surgery more convenient.
Fifty million dollars! This is the premise. This premise makes Boss Liao sweat on his forehead and retreat. The cost is too high.
"However, at Sanbo Hospital, if it is Professor Yang's patient, I can perform voluntary surgery. Unfortunately, due to legal reasons, I am temporarily unable to perform surgery." Ivan added.
When Boss Liao heard what Ivan said, he immediately rekindled his hope. Who doesn't want to look younger?
"Teacher Sun, if you scan your face now, you will definitely not be able to pass." A doctor suddenly suggested.
"That's for sure. After the expression is completed, you will need to change your ID card." Song Zimo replied.
Zhang Lin immediately said: "Teacher Sun, go and apply for an ID card. How can you prove that you are yourself?"
The photo on the previous ID card was completely different from the current one, and even the fingerprints had been changed. There was no way to prove that he was himself using the previous ID card or any other documents.
If you can’t even prove your ID card, are other proofs useful?
"Yes, this is a big question. How can I prove that I am me? Who can prove that I am me?" Teacher Sun said jokingly.
Everyone discussed this issue for a while. Song Zimo accompanied Ivan back to the doctor's office, and everyone followed.
"Dr. Ivan, the expression shaping technology you just mentioned is really so powerful. Can you choose from tens of thousands of expression models and then shape expressions according to the models?" Song Zimo was very interested in this new thing of expression shaping.
Ivan nodded thoughtfully: "The plastic surgery techniques you know, such as breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, facial contour modification, etc., are all plastic techniques on the material level, while expression shaping includes both the material and non-material levels. Plastic surgery technology is very difficult. For example, it is difficult to shape a person’s smile from the perspective of surgery and facial expression muscle training. At present, I am the only one in the world who can maturely master this technology. Unfortunately, I can’t now. I have 24,000 basic expression models stored in my laboratory in New Zealand, and the number of models is still growing.”
Just by listening to Ivan say it, you know how difficult this technique is.
"This is the first time I've heard of this word, non-material plastic surgery technology," August said.
As a surgeon, you come into contact with the human body every day, all at the material level. What kind of non-material technology does surgery involve at the non-material level?
But if you think about it carefully, it is also the same thing. For example, a person's smile is a material reaction from the chain coordination of consciousness-expressive muscles-skin, but what is reflected contains non-material elements.
"It's too profound, I can't understand it, it burns my brain!" August simply didn't want this thing.
"To put it more clearly, material and spiritual matters must be grasped with both hands, and both hands must be strong." Robert took over.
Everyone looked at Robert. To be honest, he didn't go to high school in China and couldn't speak such authentic Chinese.
