Talia listened to the discussions of the experts and exclaimed in her heart. She only thought it was a simple operation. When Dr. Zhou performed it, he seemed to be very calm and confident. It was just cutting and playing with the skin, but who knew? Did you expect that it contains so many challenges and gaps?
Then, for some reason, I felt a little worried about Zhou Qiao, wondering if he could handle it?
But soon, she recalled the experiences of her cousin Adriana and her best friend Simone, and suddenly she breathed a sigh of relief. She thought to herself, let professionals worry about professional matters, she has confidence in Zhou Qiao!
Zhou Qiao’s technique is perfect, and all the details are as good as the ceiling, including skin removal, cutting, hemostasis during surgery, how to make the skin fragments fit and tensioned, fixing sutures, and post-operative bandaging...
Every operation is impeccable.
As for the secret medicine, when I was bandaging, I took out a roll of "special" dressing that came with me. Well, the secret medicine was all contained in it. It's actually just a regular sterile hydrogel dressing.
As for the shortcomings, they are not without them.
That is, the skin Zhou Qiao took was a superficial skin piece, which was too weak and therefore less elastic. However, if the elasticity is poor, it will contract easily and will not be resistant to friction. The color will be dark and the appearance will be poor.
Simply put, the regenerated skin after skin grafting will be slightly darker, which is medically called "pigmentation." Previously, Adriana and Simone did not darken because their scars were smaller and no skin grafting was performed. And their original skin color is not particularly white.
Veronica, on the other hand, was very fair before. Just a little bit worse than Elena and Ava.
Fortunately, "skin tanning" is now popular in the United States, and skin color that is too white is not attractive to people!
Therefore, Zhou Qiao did not waste his points to redeem the whitening properties. He believed that Veronica would not only accept it, but also be a little happy.
There are often similar news in the United States: some young people insist on sun exposure in order to tan, which results in skin cancer.
If after complete recovery, Veronica is not very satisfied with her skin color, it doesn’t matter, she can come back for “whitening” treatment. You will be charged separately at that time.
Even with Zhou Qiao's perfect operating skills, the operation lasted a full eight hours before Veronica's head and hands were completed.
Some details, even the corners of the eyes, were handled perfectly by Zhou Qiao.
As for hair growth, it doesn't matter, her hair follicles are still there.
Hair follicles are located about 4 mm under the skin. Although some shrink after being exposed to high temperatures, they have healing energy and are not a problem.
After the operation, Zhou Qiao and the others were already hungry. When they came out, Governor Hulk prepared a dinner, which was still a simple top-quality snowflake steak + vegetable and fruit salad. It can be said to be simple but not simple.
After a simple meal with Zhou Qiao, Hulk Governor's driver took Zhou Qiao and the others back to the hotel, while he went to visit his daughter.
Because by estimating the time, Veronica should be coming out of the resuscitation room.
Veronica went into the operating room at around 8 a.m., took a "nap", and woke up in the evening.
She felt that her head and hands were warm, as if she were soaking in a hot spring, which was very comfortable. However, other parts of her body still hurt terribly. She resisted and did not use the pain pump because she was really scared.
If you use too much, you will vomit badly!
Vomiting was a very troublesome and disgusting thing when she had difficulty turning over. It will stain the gauze on your body and the sheets underneath you.
When the time comes, changing the gauze is another torturous thing. It's like torture, and people really don't want to go through it a second time.
Governor Hulk is here. He puts on protective clothing and comes to the ward: "Sweetheart, how do you feel?"
Veronica asked: "Daddy, did Dr. Zhou repair my head and hands today?"
She actually knew because Zhou Qiao told her before the operation, but she just wanted to confirm. I was under general anesthesia for a day, and it felt like a century had passed.
Governor Hulk nodded quickly and said, "Yes. What, baby, are you uncomfortable in those two places?"
"No, it's just very comfortable. Dr. Zhou's medical skills are really good... magical." Veronica couldn't help but be full of hope for the future. I thought to myself, Dr. Zhou took action, and it was really different. Other places were painful, but those two parts were soothing.
"Really? That's great!" Governor Hulk also became happy.
As everyone knows, this is healing energy at work. This energy promotes healing and makes people comfortable at the cellular level without any side effects. Being wrapped in this warm energy, isn't it like soaking in a hot spring?
Although she had slept all day during the day, Veronica still slept well at night. She had a sweet dream. She was wearing a bikini, with smooth and tender skin all over her body, and was running on the beach again.
Before that, she had nightmares almost every day, and they were very disgusting dreams. For example, she dreamed that she had turned into a skinless zombie, walking on the street with her head hanging down, twisting and turning, and the surrounding people were... Everyone who saw it screamed in terror and ran away!
Finally, goodbye to the nightmare.
Two days later, Zhou Qiao came over to "change" the dressing. When he took off the gauze, it could be seen that Veronica's head and hands, where the skin "seedlings" were planted before, had recovered quite well, and the small seedlings had gradually As he grows up, his territory has expanded several times. It is estimated that in three or four days, the surrounding "wastelands" will be recovered and covered completely!
Zhou Qiao brought a small mirror and let Veronica watch it by herself.
Veronica was brave and took a look. She couldn't help but feel happy for a moment, but when she smiled, her face twitched in pain and she quickly held it back.
That feeling of being happy but having to hold it back is quite... unbearable! She had no choice but to raise the corners of her mouth slightly, which relieved her a little.
Thalia also came to visit her and chatted with her for a long time.
Veronica seemed to be a completely different person, she was in a very happy mood and had a strong desire to talk.
In the past few days, Zhou Qiao and the others naturally did not go back.
It's so far away, and I have to come here every two days to "pretend" for follow-up consultations. It would be too troublesome to go back. Might as well play here.
Rachel called the clinic several times, asking in roundabout ways when Zhou Qiao would come back. She and Park Xiuzhu were really busy. Almost exhausted.
Zhou Qiao naturally comforted him and said he would do it as soon as possible. And you have worked hard these past few days, and I will bring you a gift when the time comes.
He invited Thalia, fulfilling his promise, and treated her to a feast.
Although not in San Francisco, the opportunity is rare. When people introduce such a big business, they have to show something.
As the "host", Thalia took them to the most famous tourist attractions in Los Angeles, such as Universal Studios Hollywood, Walk of Fame, Disneyland California, Santa Monica Beach, Beverly Hills, etc.
Naturally, Zhou Qiao paid the bill. Firstly, he was a man, and secondly, it was to thank Talia.
Although Murphy has been here for many years, she has autism and has rarely been out to play. The only tourist attraction that she has visited a lot is probably the University of California, Los Angeles.
That’s right, the campus of this prestigious school has beautiful scenery and a rich cultural atmosphere. It is definitely one of the popular check-in places for many people!
It was also the first time for Elena and Ava to come to Los Angeles, and they had stars as their guides. This kind of treatment is not available to ordinary people, so the group had a lot of fun.
Although Zhou Qiao and Luo Ya had visited Los Angeles before, Luo Ya would not take him to such a "childish" place.
Compared to Loya, who is mature and a big boss, Elena, Ava, Murphy and Talia are all still little girls!
Zhou Qiao has never been to Disneyland in China. When he was a student, he was envious when he saw his classmates go there, but conditions did not allow it. Disney is extremely expensive. Not to mention the tickets, a chicken drumstick costs 80 yuan, and you are not allowed to bring your own food.
Unexpectedly, when I came to Los Angeles, I had a lot of fun and was accompanied by four beauties.
Any one of these four girls on a domestic campus would be a school beauty.
Take four of them with you, and the rate of repeating them will be 100%!
It's a pity that Zhou Qiao doesn't like to post on Moments, otherwise no matter which thing he posts, there will be a lot of likes!
Zhou Qiao goes to the medical center every two days to help Veronica have a follow-up visit, change her dressing, and check her recovery.
On the fifth day, Veronica had been transferred from the critical ward to the general ward because her condition had stabilized and scabs had formed in many places. He was already far, far away from life-threatening danger.
Even, I can occasionally get out of bed and take a few steps to move around.
On the sixth day, when Zhou Qiao came for the last day, many people gathered around to watch.
Dean George, Director Seth, Professor Parsons, Thalia, Governor Hulk and his wife, etc.
The governor's wife had not fully recovered due to injuries on her body, but she was still better than Veronica, so she was pushed by her husband in a wheelchair and came to visit her daughter to witness the miraculous moment that had been rumored in the past few days.
Plastic surgery expert Dr. Justin also came, and some reporters caught wind of it.
Because, this day is the day when the gauze on Veronica's head and hands will be completely removed!
The general ward that Veronica stayed in was compared to the critical care ward. In fact, she was a little princess of the governor's family, so naturally she couldn't live in a double or triple room, which was very luxurious and comparable to a presidential suite. Ward.
Therefore, there is enough space inside.
Those reporters and people with lower status were all kept out. Those who came in were all important people or medical experts.
Elena, Ava, and Murphy followed Zhou Qiao, so they could naturally enter the ward.
The twin beauties stepped forward to help remove the gauze. The sense of ritual was like opening a treasure chest!
Ava thought to herself, it's a pity that there is no music accompaniment, a magical song with a cheerful rhythm should be played here.
Veronica was also very nervous because when she looked at it the day before yesterday, there were still traces of silk marks. She didn’t know if they would disappear completely. If they were still there, it would mean it was a failure. You may need to undergo cosmetic surgery again in the future, such as laser freckle removal.
But when Veronica's gauze was completely removed, she clearly saw the surprise and shock in the eyes of everyone in the ward!
Her mother was the first to shout excitedly: "My little baby, you have recovered, you have recovered! You are more beautiful than before! Oh my God, God, it is amazing!" She was sitting in a wheelchair. Go up, dancing and dancing, unable to control oneself.
Governor Hulk was also inexplicably excited and glanced at Zhou Qiao gratefully. He secretly praised that Dr. Zhou was really a rare medical wizard. He could recover from such a degree of burns as before!
"How on earth did this happen? I didn't even see what he was doing?"
Dr. Justin, the plastic surgery expert, was inexplicably shocked. He trembled violently and murmured a few times, but was speechless. Immediately, he secretly regretted that he should not have secretly called so many reporters.
Well, fortunately, the reporters were blocked outside by Mr. Governor.
The eyes of other experts also flashed with excitement, and soon, with Professor Parsont taking the lead in applauding, a wave of applause erupted in the ward!
In just ten seconds, it was like thunder! Lasts forever!
Veronica was very excited. When the gauze on her hands was also removed, she couldn't help raising her hands and carefully admiring her beautiful hands. They were slender, slender, delicate, and had not recovered at all. flaw.
Amazing!
She touched her face, her facial features, the top of her head, the back of her head, and her chin with her hands. They were all smooth!
"Quick, quick, mirror!" Veronica said excitedly. Soon, a nurse brought a large mirror. Veronica took it and looked at the long-lost beauty and hot tears in the mirror. It burst out unexpectedly!
All look brand new! No trace at all! Simply amazing!
Although the hair has not grown out yet, the bald head alone is already very beautiful! Her old self is back!
Happily, my skin is a little darker! Isn't this the tanning effect she was pursuing before?
It can only be said that everyone has different aesthetics. Like Zhou Qiao, she just likes white. The kind that is white and rosy. The twin beauties have always maintained their true colors and don't like to bask in the sun.
After knowing that Zhou Qiao liked fair and tender women, the two of them paid more attention to taking care of themselves to avoid accidentally getting tanned and making Zhou Qiao lose interest.
But they forgot that Zhou Qiao also liked Luo Ya's wheat-colored skin.
In short, skin color is not the decisive factor, appearance and figure are!
"Dr. Zhou, I can't wait. Can you continue and help me treat other parts?" Veronica said pleadingly.
Zhou Qiao was very embarrassed and said: "I have used up the secret medicine. It is not easy to collect that kind of materials. I need time to prepare. Let's wait until next month."
"Okay." Veronica was depressed for a moment, then became hopeful again.
I thought, as long as Dr. Zhou is here, recovery is only a matter of time! There is no need to be too anxious yourself.
The little fairy Thalia took a step forward, smiled slightly and said: "Congratulations, Veronica!"
"Thank you, little fairy. If it weren't for you, I would almost collapse!" Veronica stretched out her hands and motioned for Thalia to come closer.
Thalia stepped forward again with a smile, came to her side, and bent down slightly. Then, Veronica hugged her gently, and used her new face to kiss her cheeks intimately. !
When the reporters outside heard the commotion, they all wanted to come in excitedly. The security personnel came over and asked Governor Hulk if he wanted to be let in?
Governor Hulk was in a good mood. He immediately waved his hand and said, "Let them come in and see the recovery of my precious little princess. Haha, it's amazing! Dr. Zhou's medical skills can be said to be unparalleled in the world!"
The governor praised him so highly, and Zhou Qiao immediately waved his hand modestly, indicating that his level was average.
Soon, the reporters rushed in and were inexplicably excited when they saw Veronica's recovery. They immediately raised all kinds of guns and cannons, and took pictures randomly around Veronica.
Veronica also made several elegant gestures and smiled sweetly.
She originally wanted to be a star, so she just took this opportunity to create some hype.
I have to say that Veronica is still very beautiful. Even with a bald head and other parts of her body wrapped in gauze, she still shows a charming style.
"Dr. Zhou, can you tell us a few words?" A reporter put the microphone in front of Zhou Qiao.
Seeing this, other reporters also went to interview Zhou Qiao or Veronica.
Some reporters saw that they had been robbed of the opportunity, so they had the idea to interview Governor Hulk! Wouldn't it be stupid to leave such a big god without interviewing and creating a topic?
The scene of removing the gauze properly will make it look like the scene of a press conference!
Dr. Justin looked at this lively scene, sighed secretly, and quietly slipped out in a very unhappy mood.
