"Look, that's the handsomest surgeon. Isn't he really handsome?"
"Ah, it really is him. He's even more good-looking in person than on TV!"
"You should go flirt with him!"
"Hold on, I need to get my nose done first..."
Arriving at the plastic surgery department of the University Affiliated Hospital, Lin Jie overheard two women in line for a consultation pointing at him, blatantly "whispering" and making him feel utterly awkward.
The episode of "Society and Law" that Lin Jie participated in last Tuesday night sparked considerable public response once it aired.
Mainly because the two cases introduced in this episode had certain relevance to everyone's lives.
Many have heard, and even uttered, similar words to tease children.
In a metropolis like Binhai, the late-night racing of youthful daredevils has troubled many residents. Especially You Huangjie's experience and his final choice of redemption left many deeply moved.
In such circumstances, Lin Jie, who made several appearances in the episode, almost equivalent to the male lead, attracted a lot of attention and affection.
His high looks and impressive medical skills earned him the nickname "Most Handsome Surgeon" among viewers and netizens, and he received many confessions from girls at a distance.
Fortunately, so far, these declarations have been relatively rational, with no appearance of crazed admirers chasing after Lin Jie at the hospital.
"Hello, Expert Lin!"
"Hello, Director Guan!"
Lin Jie exchanged polite greetings with Director Guan Yifan, the head of the plastic surgery department who had come to welcome him, and walked alongside him to the wards.
"The health examination results for Cui Shanshan, as well as the psychological consultation results, have come back, concluding that surgery can be performed."
Guan Yifan explained, "We've also verified all the relevant documents he submitted, and there are no issues."
Lin Jie politely said, "Thank you!"
The kind of detailed work that should have been completed by Lin Jie's students was instead handed entirely over to the plastic surgery department.
Guan Yifan laughed, "Actually, it should be our plastic surgery department thanking you."
"Your generous permission for us to observe is a rare learning opportunity, especially for such a complex gender transformation surgery."
He further complimented, "Last time, Dr. Gao and Dr. Duan returned, and they couldn't stop praising your superb medical skills, Expert Lin."
"Such severe and complex injuries gradually healed under your skillful hands."
"Although we can't see the final recovery results immediately, excellent postoperative effects are certainly expected."
Lin Jie understood that he was referring to General Zhong Lihui's facial reconstruction surgery, where two doctors were urgently transferred from the plastic surgery department as his surgical assistants.
"Dr. Gao and Dr. Duan provided great support during the operation, and their skills... are adequate," Lin Jie gave a perfunctory compliment.
Guan Yifan laughed heartily, "I will definitely convey your praises to Dr. Gao and Dr. Duan."
"Actually, what I admire most is the research project completed by Professor Chen, Dean Tao, and you, Expert Lin..."
Saying this, he winked at Lin Jie and said, "The restoration of disfigurement caused by severe muscle damage has always been a major challenge in cosmetic surgery."
"The outcomes of this research project can be said to have effectively solved this problem."
"Although incredibly high surgical skills are required, it at least points a way forward for the field of cosmetic surgery."
"After several years of diligent practice, even the most advanced surgical skills can surely be developed."
At this point, Guan Yifan flexed his fingers and laughed, "Compared to surgeons in other departments, we rely more on our dexterous hands to make a living."
As they spoke, the two walked into a single-patient ward, where they saw Cui Shanshan wearing a patient's gown, lying in bed playing with a phone out of boredom.
Seeing Lin Jie and Guan Yifan, he immediately sprang out of bed respectfully, saying, "Expert Lin, Doctor Guan!"
Lin Jie looked him over for a few moments and asked, "Where are your accompanying family members?"
Cui Shanshan muttered a bit before awkwardly saying, "After accompanying me to get admitted for surgery, my parents went back home. During the surgery, Wei Xin will come to take care of me."
This made Lin Jie understand that his parents were still quite resistant to the matter, likely agreeing out of helplessness.
However, this was a matter that Cui Shanshan needed to face and address; naturally, Lin Jie wouldn't invite trouble by getting involved as long as all paperwork was in order.
"Today, I will review your health check data, and if there are no issues, either tomorrow or the day after, I'll first perform the Adam's apple reshaping and breast augmentation surgeries for you."
Lin Jie further confirmed, "To save time, I will do both surgeries together."
"Now, let me ask you, do you have any specific requirements for your breast augmentation, particularly regarding shape and size?"
Cui Shanshan hesitated a bit, somewhat awkwardly saying, "Honestly, I've fantasized about many shapes and sizes, to the extent that I'm a bit unsure."
"Expert Lin, could you give me a recommendation from your expert perspective?"
Lin Jie did not decline, and said directly: "In terms of this surgery, bigger isn't necessarily better, especially since you're undergoing gender reassignment surgery, unlike females who adapt from nothing to something gradually."
"If it's too big, there will be many negative impacts on your body's balance, walking habits, psychological adaptation, etc. I suggest that moderate size is best."
"As for the shape, it's naturally best if it follows the natural curve of the body and is in harmony with your physique..."
"How should the size be moderate, and the shape harmonious? Take off your shirt, and let me see your body!"
Upon hearing this, Cui Shanshan removed her shirt without any shyness.
Perhaps it's due to years of taking hormones, Cui Shanshan's skin is much more delicate and fairer compared to a man's.
Moreover, he managed his physique quite well, lacking the robust feeling typical of men.
Lin Jie visually assessed his front and back, various data intertwined in his mind, and several post-surgery 3D simulation images appeared in his mind.
After Lin Jie made his decision, he signaled that he could put on his clothes.
"Cui Shanshan, if you trust me, you can leave everything for me to handle. I can't promise you a surprise, but I at least won't let you down too much."
Cui Shanshan was momentarily stunned, then suddenly smiled brightly, saying: "Alright, Expert Lin, I'll leave all this hundred-some pounds up to you, to handle as you see fit."
"You are the most skilled expert, surely you'll give me the best choice."
Lin Jie replied humbly yet confidently: "Once the results of your surgery are out, I don't dare say everyone will be satisfied, but at least the majority will be."
At this, he regarded Cui Shanshan's face.
If evaluated as a female, the eyes aren't alluring enough, the face a bit square, and the bridge of the nose somewhat flat...
Lin Jie shook his head, exhaled, and said: "Cui Shanshan, since I've taken on your surgery, I want to make it a bit more perfect. I'll ask your opinion first, do you want to undergo any facial surgery?"
Cui Shanshan reached out to stroke his own face, asking: "Expert Lin, is face surgery very large?"
Lin Jie admitted: "There are quite a few areas on your face that require surgery, but none are considered major surgeries."
"Hmm... the surgery would take about two hours or so."
"Of course, the decision is yours!"
Lin Jie further explained: "It's just my pursuit of perfection at work, wanting to make you appear more feminine, more beautiful!"
The phrases "more feminine," "more beautiful," clearly touched Cui Shanshan.
On impulse, he almost agreed, but held back at the last moment to ask: "Expert Lin, how much would this extra facial surgery cost?"
He spoke with some difficulty: "I didn't expect that having you, Expert Lin, perform the surgery, the costs would be significantly higher than my original budget, my funds..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jie turned to look at Guan Yifan beside him, and asked puzzledly: "Director Guan, does the cost vary in our hospital depending on who performs the surgery?"
Guan Yifan nodded and said: "The hospital's surgery fees are divided into three tiers: standard, expert, and specially appointed expert. And Expert Lin, you belong to the highest tier of specially appointed experts."
"The cost for surgeries performed by you is one to two times higher than that of my expert tier."
"Since Cui Shanshan's surgery is a very complex gender reassignment surgery, overall, the cost will be around 150,000 more."
Lin Jie was somewhat enlightened.
It turns out that this title of specially appointed expert is not for nothing, the cost isn't ordinarily high.
This is likely what is called cost transfer, in the end, all the expenses are borne by the patient.
He pondered for a moment, and said: "Cui Shanshan, because your surgery involves a rather pioneering experiment."
"Let's do it this way, I'll bear half of your surgery costs as a subsidy for you to undergo this surgical experiment..."
Amidst Cui Shanshan's numerous thanks, Lin Jie left the ward.
Afterward, he went with Guan Yifan to personally select suitable chest implants from the storage.
Finally, Lin Jie took Cui Shanshan's physical examination data, ready to leave the plastic surgery department.
"Director Guan, thank you for personally accompanying me, I apologize for taking up your valuable time."
Guan Yifan smiled and said: "It's my duty, it's my duty. Expert Lin, if it doesn't involve confidentiality, could you reveal a bit of the surgical experiment you mentioned in the ward?"
Realizing that he had already agreed for them to observe the surgery, Lin Jie hadn't intended to keep it a secret, so he simply told him about the diaphragm matter.
Guan Yifan's mouth gaped wide open and couldn't close...
Suddenly, he grabbed Lin Jie's hand, excitedly saying: "It's feasible, it's truly feasible."
"Expert Lin, if your plan succeeds, it will benefit not only transgender individuals but also many females with conditions in that area."
"Our department also has its own research fund."
"Expert Lin, the entire cost of this surgery will be covered by our department, just ask that you allow our department to participate throughout this surgical experiment..."
