[Ding! Daily task: Complete three skin sutures. Reward: +50 skin suture experience, +50RMB.]

As long as I have the opportunity to do it myself today, completing the task shouldn’t be a problem.

Chen Cang now pays quite a bit of attention to his daily tasks because he speculates that as long as he can continuously complete the daily tasks, special time periods might trigger special tasks, like the ten-day task last time.

So, no matter what, one should still try their best to complete the daily tasks. Today, I’m still learning the double eyelid incision technique, and while nobody is around, ZhangZhixin continues to lecture me.

Currently, the most commonly used double eyelid surgery is the embedding method.

It’s also the method most accepted by people, and if the embedding isn’t done well, one can always use incision to repair it.

And since embedding is, well, embedding, the most crucial part is obviously skin suturing.

This is the most critical step in the embedding procedure.

In plastic surgery, the most valuable step is often before the surgery itself, which is drawing the lines.

The hands of a plastic surgeon only need to reach the basic level of a surgeon, but their aesthetic judgment must be on par with that of an artist.

It’s like before a building is constructed, the design team takes away a hefty sum for the design fees.

Zhang Zhixin said to Chen Cang with a smile, “In our cosmetic hospital, there are more than a dozen plastic surgeons, each with their specialty. Some are good at double eyelid surgeries, some at breast augmentations, and some are better at injecting hyaluronic acid. There are also a few who specialize in otoplasties, including tympanic membrane repair and cosmetic ear surgeries.” Chen Cang couldn’t help asking, “Teacher Zhang, what are you good at?” Zhang Zhixin laughed heartily, “Do I even need to say? With so many living examples in our hospital, can’t you tell?”

Chen Cang slapped his forehead, okay then!

I get it!

They’re displayed at the front desk.

Zhang Zhixin smiled, “My double eyelid surgeries cost just over five thousand, but if I do the operation, the price gets much higher!”

Chen Cang was curious, “How much?”

Zhang Zhixin shook his head, “The surgery varies a lot and there are many influencing factors. For example, based on different materials, there are two types: artificial implants and autologous fat transplants, each with different prices. For artificial implants, the cheapest ones start from over forty thousand, and the expensive ones are boundless. There was a rich guy last time who used hyaluronic acid as the implant material, do you know how much he spent?”

Chen Cang was stunned, “How much?”

Zhang Zhixin held up two fingers, and Chen Cang took a guess, “Two hundred thousand?”

ZhangZhixin said teasingly, “2 million!”

Chen Cang was dumbfounded. My word, 2 million. He felt like he was seeing a bunch of laborers from a tiny nation noisily constructing a luxurious artificial mansion inside someone’s body!

That price was enough to buy a deluxe apartment of more than too square meters in Anyang City.

Was it filled with nuclear fusion?

Or a black tech research center?

Too damn expensive!

Only an idiot would do such a thing!

Two million…

While Chen Cang stayed shocked, Zhang Zhixin was laughing, “Do you know? Although hyaluronic acid has great effects, it has one major flaw: it’s short-term. Shortest can be nine months, and at most a year. After a year, it will metabolize away. No matter if you’ve spent hundreds of thousands, it will all revert back with no trace left!”

Chen Cang was bewildered. Is this how the rich live their lives?

2 million just for a year?

Skipping stones isn’t played like that, is it?!

Zhang Zhixin smiled, “But this is very rare; I’ve only seen a few in all these years. Of course, the expensive ones have their reasons. Essentially, there’s a fundamental difference, but artificial implants have become almost indistinguishable in feel from human tissue. Moreover, the price is relatively moderate. Surgery with silicone gel costs around 40-200,000 yuan, and using autologous fat grafting varies around 60-100,000 yuan.”

Chen Cang curled his lip, suddenly feeling that every part of a woman’s body is worth money!

No wonder tycoons want beautiful mistresses; it’s because they’re valuable. Think about it, if fakes are worth this much, how much would the real thing cost?

Is this like collecting precious works of art???

Thinking this way, Chen Cang suddenly felt that the business insight of tycoons is simply different.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of the actress friend of Zheng Guotan. Zhang Zhixin stood up, smiling as he spoke, “I’m tellingyou this not for any other reason but to let you know something.”

” In the cosmetic surgery industry, it’s one of the emerging highly profitable fields. The amount of money you make depends on how capable you are!” “In some ways, we’re no different from hairdressers. The price you pay for an ordinary hairdresser versus a head stylist or director… is not the same. Your ability determines your price.”

“It’s the same with us; different doctors have fixed prices for the same surgery! We’re here for business, not for anything else, just to make money. As long as you’re capable, you don’t have to worry about not having money.”

“Do you know how long it took me to earn my domineering car?”

Chen Cang, flexing his greatest imagination, guessed, “Ayear!”

Zhang Zhixin nodded, “That’s right. The domineering car cost 600,000, and I saved for a year. But that was five years ago. Now… it would only take about a month.”

Chen Cang was dumbfounded!

What the fuck?

600,000 in one month?

Zhang Zhixin nodded, “For one surgery, after deducting all expenses, my fee is 30,000.1 can perform five surgeries a day, which is 150,000 a day.”

“It’s the same with double eyelid surgery. If you can independently perform double eyelid surgeries well, you can set your own prices and do them here.” Chen Gang’s breathing started to quicken.

He knew that in the cosmetic industry, a double eyelid surgery could cost 3,000 if you go to an ordinary person, 10,000 with a specialist, and tens of thousands with a master. For celebrities, it could be hundreds of thousands, varying widely.

This is the disparity!

“Alright, wake up, it’s enough to just think about it; don’t daydream. I’m just painting a picture for you, showing you the future. Right now, you ‘re still a small fry, nothing special!”

“Try it out today. The main difference between embedding thread and skin suturing might just be the angle of the stitching, but ultimately, they are both skin suturing. You’ll understand once you try it, the main purpose is to hide the knotsand stitches…”

Chen Cang nodded, honestly feeling eager to try it.

There were three double eyelid surgeries scheduled for this morning. Inside the operation room, Zhang Zhixin began with an introduction and marking.

The same preparation method, Chen Cang was already thoroughly familiar with.

After Zhang Zhixin marked the several points that needed work, he gave a subtle signal to Chen Cang.

Chen Cang immediately understood the meaning and quietly picked up the suture needle, starting his first suturing.

Embedding thread is about the placement of anchoring points and uses absorbable thread that doesn’t require removal, with the main goal of leaving no trace!

Chen Gang’s special skill in skin suturing just happened to be leaving no traces. However, embedding thread still differed slightly from ordinary suturing, and Chen Cang needed to ponder and practice it slowly!
