After racking his brains for over an hour, Lin Jie still couldn't figure out how to explain this matter to Lin Miao in a way that she would calmly accept.

Helplessly, he decided to set it aside for the time being and, after having a tasteless lunch with Qin Gang, hurriedly headed to the Affiliated Hospital.

Entering a room in the plastic surgery department, Lin Jie saw Cui Shanshan sitting cross-legged on the bed, holding a drawing board, sketching and drawing, while Wei Xin leaned against the wall playing with her phone.

Seeing Lin Jie, Cui Shanshan dropped the sketchboard and immediately jumped off the bed, eagerly asking, "Expert Lin, is the cosmetic surgery effect diagram ready?"

Wei Xin also put away her phone, stood straight, and nodded to Lin Jie in greeting.

"It's ready!"

Lin Jie responded to Cui Shanshan and then nodded at Wei Xin, before taking out his laptop from his briefcase.

At this moment, he noticed that on the sketchboard lying on the bed was a simple human figure drawn with colored pens. He asked, "Cui Shanshan, are you designing something?"

Cui Shanshan nodded and said, "At your celebration party, I met a few people. One of them, Yu Momo, will be recording a TV program in a few days. I'm designing a look for her."

"Expert Lin, is this Yu Momo your friend?"

While Lin Jie was turning on his laptop, he replied, "She's my friend. Design well for her. If she becomes famous, you'll also gain some attention."

"Yu Momo has a good stage presence and a distinctive appearance, having the potential to be popular!"

At that point, Cui Shanshan sighed and said, "But in this line of work, potential alone is far from enough. You also need someone influential to appreciate and support you."

"Expert Lin, you could help her a bit more."

Lin Jie glanced sideways at her, saying, "I'm just a doctor. Crossing into another field is like crossing a mountain; how can I help?"

He opened a software, pulled up a document, and passed the laptop to Cui Shanshan, "This is what you will look like after the surgery. Take a good look, and if anything needs modification, speak up quickly."

This cosmetic surgery effect diagram was made with a set of specialized analysis software developed by the plastic surgery department of the Affiliated Hospital.

By inputting a person's facial 3D scan data, this software can generate several post-operative effect diagrams and propose corresponding surgical plans.

The surgeon can choose one plan and modify it as needed.

Lin Jie didn't use that feature; instead, he directly crafted a post-operative 3D effect diagram on Cui Shanshan's original 3D model by adjusting parameters and dragging with the mouse.

"Expert Lin, Expert Lin..."

Cui Shanshan looked up at Lin Jie, her voice trembling as she asked, "Can I really become this?"

"At first glance, it shares a six to seven out of ten resemblance with you, Shanshan, but the more you look, the less it seems alike. Look at the eyes..."

Getting closer to check the 3D effect diagram with Cui Shanshan, Wei Xin started picking flaws, "The eyes on this diagram look so good, but they don't resemble Shanshan's eyes, and the agile nose, the chin..."

"This effect diagram looks like it's been photoshopped from a movie star's picture."

"Oh, Xin sis, can you not make random comments, please?"

Cui Shanshan got a bit anxious and shouted, "I'm undergoing cosmetic surgery. If my facial features were going to stay the same, why would I go through this ordeal?"

Wei Xin also realized her previous remarks were somewhat over the top.

Just at a glance of this effect diagram, Cui Shanshan's originally nondescript appearance had dramatically transformed—calling it a metamorphosis from sparrow to phoenix wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Wei Xin hid her inner jealousy and apologized, "Lin Jie, I'm not doubting. It's just that this effect diagram is genuinely as beautiful as a movie star."

"Can this effect truly be achieved?"

With a faint tone, Lin Jie answered, "This is just an idealized cosmetic surgery effect diagram."

"During the surgery, it's challenging to achieve such precise, predetermined fine operations, and there are variances in facial muscle recovery, some uncontrollable inflammations, plus unforeseeable scenarios like dietary habits and mood during the recovery period."

"These factors lead to a divergence between the actual surgery outcome and the effect diagram."

"How wide can the divergence be?" asked Cui Shanshan and Wei Xin in unison.

Lin Jie pondered, then said, "This is tough to quantify precisely. For instance..."

"The actual surgical outcome might have little deviation in eye surgery from the effect diagram, but considerable variance in nose wing surgery, or vice versa."

"On a comprehensive basis..."

Lin Jie offered a conservative estimate: "I can guarantee about a ninety-percent resemblance."

He continued to explain, "This is mainly because of Cui Shanshan, your good facial bone structure, and although your features have flaws, there's no need for major surgery."

"I just need to adjust some facial muscle texture trajectories, trim some muscles and bones, without needing injections or fillings of easily deformable foreign materials, to achieve the aforementioned cosmetic goals."

"Ninety-percent resemblance! Ninety-percent resemblance..."

Cui Shanshan stared at the 3D effect diagram on the computer screen, muttering a few times, suddenly clapped her hands forcefully, and said, "Expert Lin, I am very satisfied with this effect diagram, extremely satisfied."

"Expert Lin, I don't have any modifications to suggest."

"Are you sure?" Lin Jie asked again to confirm!

Cui Shanshan nodded vigorously and said, "One hundred percent, a thousand percent sure."
