[Commentary] Recently, Chongqing girl Yan Yan ushered in facial fat and fine-tuning surgery for pulling tissue. She hopes to recover as soon as possible, because she is a lawyer and there are a lot of cases waiting for her. Yan Yan, who had a rare disease since childhood, never thought that she could become a lawyer one day until she met Wu Yi, the chief physician of Cranio-Maxillofacial and Orthopedic Surgery of the Emergency Hospital of Chongqing University ten years ago.

  [Explanation] It is understood that Yan Yan was diagnosed by the hospital at the age of 7 with a world stubborn disease of unknown etiology-hemifacial atrophy. The global incidence of this disease is one in 200,000. Her left face, including her bones, had completely shrunk, and she became an outright "half-faced man." There is no precedent for such a large-scale facial repair operation in China, and the glamorous family in a poor family is in trouble. In 2007, after learning about Yan Yan's experience, Wu Yi decided to work with well-known domestic plastic surgery experts to provide Yan Yan with free medical plastic assistance. This was the largest face-lifting technique in the country at that time. Wu Yi led the team to work on the operating table for 10 hours. The operation was finally successful, but it will take a long time for bone fusion and multiple surgical repairs to truly restore appearance.

  The entire face was damaged. We came to us. After we repaired her, we could hardly see it after recovery. After a girl's face was injured, it was impossible to say that she was not injured psychologically.

  The external image has been greatly improved, and secondly, I am more confident and like to deal with and communicate with people. Then there is now a relatively good professional state, or a state of life.

  [Explanation] It has been more than ten years since the operation. The artificial implants implanted in the gorgeous face have gradually merged with the body, and facial nerve recovery is also better. The next step of repair can be performed again. Nearly sixty years old, Wu Yi and the medical staff carefully checked Yan Yan's physical condition and decided to make Yan Yan's facial repair again.

  Put the prosthesis, peel the epidermis and fill with fat.

  [Commentary] After entering the operating room, Yan Yan lay quietly on the operating table, and the anesthesia and operation began. Wu began to carefully treat Yan Yan's facial treatment. Wu Yi first polished Yanyan's right cheekbone, then removed the dermal tissue from Yanyan's left thigh and filled it into the lower jaw to make it more plump. After more than 4 hours of surgery, Yan Yan walked down the operating table again. She said that through this facial reshaping, her life will change dramatically, and her heart will become stronger.

  [Commentary] Wu Yi predicts that Yan Yan can basically recover after more than 10 days, and she can clearly see the "new face" after a month.
