Zhuang Shilei's third surgery, like the previous two, also lasted two days.
Lin Jie spent all of Friday extracting the nerve fibers from the dermis for use.
Saturday's surgery mainly involved transplanting these nerve fibers, as well as muscle fibers.
After two successful surgeries, Zhuang Shilei's left cheek was much fuller and plumper, and this third surgery served to fill in the gaps.
At the same time, to allow for precise cosmetic adjustments in six months, Lin Jie left some room for adjustments with the muscle fiber transplant this time.
The surgery on Saturday started at nine in the morning and continued until ten at night.
When Lin Jie put down the surgical instruments and stepped back from the operating table, Chen Shi, Tao Taqing, Yao Siyuan, and Song Licheng all wore expressions of excitement.
Given the success of the first two surgeries, the success of this one was also anticipated.
This indicated that the research project had entered its final phase.
