Chapter 554: Hyaluronic acid increases height?
"Creak, creak, creak~~"

Zhuang Yan is eating dog food.

"Xiao Zhuang, come and have some food. Four dishes and two bowls of rice are too much for me." Meng Liangren called Zhuang Yan again.

"No, I want to lose weight." Zhuang Yan was very determined.

"Xiao Zhuang, if you don't want to eat it, I will." The resident manager came over, but at the same time, Meng Liangren's chair slipped and he used his shoulder to block the resident manager's covetous gaze.

"Meng, you are stingy."

"Professor Luo went out for dinner today and brought it to us. I'll treat you tomorrow." Meng Liangren replied calmly, with a very thick skin.

"Creak, creak, creak~~"

Zhuang Yan looked very serious as she ate the "dog food" one grain at a time.

"Professor Luo said that losing weight mainly depends on eating less."

"It's nutritionally balanced, and no different from eating a meal. The main thing is that it gives you a strong sense of fullness, so you can't eat much." Zhuang Yan stared at the four dishes, the aroma filling the air. She began to speak incoherently, and every sentence she spoke was a mess.

She sniffed and ate two more grains of dog food based on the aroma.

But this thing is said to be good, but it has no taste. Zhuang Yan moved closer to Meng Liangren, holding a bag of dog food in her hand and eating it grain by grain.

"I just smell it."

"Well, come closer. What can you smell from such a distance?" Meng Liangren smiled and fanned the air with his hands, and the fragrance filled the air.

"Old Meng, you must bring me a copy tomorrow." The resident boss swallowed his saliva.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. There's not much food today and Xiaozhuang hasn't eaten yet." Meng Liangren insisted.

Zhuang Yan finally sat down at the table in a state of confusion, her high ponytail dangling on her head. She picked up a piece of "dog food", put it in her mouth and chewed it hard a few times.

"Eat again. Professor Luo said that today's food is healthy and different from ordinary takeout." Meng Liangren advised.

Meng Liangren's words are tasteless, but the food on the table is flavorful.

Zhuang Yan was a little confused.

"Or you can just eat a few bites and then eat the dog food." The resident boss looked at Zhuang Yan eagerly. He thought that if Zhuang Yan ate half a bowl of rice, he could also have a bite.

I don’t know where Professor Luo packed the food from, but it smells so good.

"Then I'll just take a small bite?"

"Take three small bites." Meng Liangren continued to persuade.

"Okay." Zhuang Yan agreed reluctantly.

As soon as she took a bite of the food, Zhuang Yan's eyes lit up.

Zhuang Yan completely forgot what she had just said about eating in three small bites and just ate in big mouthfuls.

A few minutes later, the hospitalized CEO looked at his empty bowl and felt like crying but had no tears.

Didn’t we agree to just take a few small bites?

How come Zhuang Yan ate a whole bowl of rice and still wants to lose weight?

"Isn't that right? We are usually busy with work, so eat well, otherwise we will faint on the operating table. Doctors and nurses may faint on the operating table. I heard that a doctor fainted right after operating on a patient, and he had a fatal blow."

"Old Meng, don't scare me." Zhuang Yan said with a smile, "It's really delicious, but only this time, I won't eat it next time."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll definitely do it next time." Meng Liangren said perfunctorily.

"I'll go home first." Zhuang Yan cleaned up the leftovers and put them into a lunch box. Then she washed her hands, changed her clothes and prepared to go home.

Luo Hao gave her a task, which was to go to Zhuang Yongqiang to get some fresh air and talk to him about the fact that the patient's surgery was free of charge.

In fact, it is very common for scientific research projects to be free of charge, and the institute will also support it.

Zhuang Yan guessed that the reason why her senior brother asked her to go home and tell the old man was that he had his own ideas, but she didn't care what they were.

When she got home, Zhuang Yan saw the old man was browsing on his phone.

In the past, Zhuang Yongqiang never went home. He had a lot of social engagements every night, and he would vomit after drinking four or five times a month.

Zhuang Yan and her mother were worried that the old man would spit out blood and die one day. After years of drinking and socializing, stomach ulcers were inevitable.

In recent years of anti-corruption efforts, drinking parties have become less and less frequent, until now they are almost zero.

It is said that the situation in the imperial capital and the magic capital is better, but people in the Northeast always go to extremes.

But this is also a good thing. At least I can see my grandfather when I go home, and he can also take the opportunity to recuperate.

"Dad, I'm back."

"Have you eaten?"

"have eaten."

Zhuang Yongqiang looked Zhuang Yan up and down and smiled slightly.

"Dad, what are you laughing at?" Zhuang Yan took off her coat, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and then put her cold hands under Zhuang Yongqiang's armpits.

"Cold! You are a grown-up girl, yet you are still fooling around." Zhuang Yan's mother scolded.

"It's okay." Zhuang Yongqiang smiled and warmed Zhuang Yan's hands, "It looks a little better now."

"How can it be like that!"

"Look, Xiaoyan, she has some forehead wrinkles after working for half a year."

Zhuang Yan felt that these words were so harsh. A grown-up girl who slept well would not want to be told that she had forehead wrinkles.

"Dad, do I have wrinkles?"

"They're not wrinkles, they're forehead wrinkles." Zhuang Yongqiang explained with a smile, "Leaders generally have forehead wrinkles. They sit and listen to reports, and occasionally look up at people, so they always have forehead wrinkles." Zhuang Yongqiang explained.

"Harmful."

"The backbone of the department all have frown lines on their faces and are worried every day."

Zhuang Yan thought carefully about Meng Liangren, and it seemed that there were some wrinkles on his face.

"You came back so early today. What did Luo Hao ask you to tell me?" Zhuang Yongqiang asked.

"Dad, how did you know?" Zhuang Yan was surprised.

"How could I not know how busy you are right now? If I could let you come back, there must be something going on."

Seeing that she had been found out, Zhuang Yan stopped talking and began to report the patient's condition.

"I've heard of that patient. Director Xu has always been very concerned about him. He is always soft-hearted. It is said that doctors cannot empathize, but when encountering a special situation, people are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless?" Zhuang Yongqiang smiled, "As for scientific research, the hospital must support it."

"My senior told me that this patient alone could be used to write 20 top-level SCI papers. Dad, if anyone wants this, you can share it."

Zhuang Yongqiang laughed and looked at Zhuang Yan, "Did your senior brother say that?"

"No, I guessed."

"I said Luo Hao shouldn't be so petty."

Being petty?

I heard from Brother Yong that the paper was published in the New England Journal, one of the world’s top journals!
How can you say it's stingy?

In Zhuang Yan's opinion, this was already an extremely generous offer. How could her father ask for less?

"I don't ask for these. Your senior brother knows what I want." Zhuang Yongqiang did not explain. "Don't think too much. Just do the operation well."

"Dad, don't you have anything else to say?" Zhuang Yan asked puzzled.

Zhuang Yongqiang looked at Zhuang Yan implicitly, "Do a good job of reception. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the director of the hospital office."

“But I don’t want to do this.”

"Is that something you want to do? The task is there, and someone has to do it. Boss Chai and Boss Zhou, your brother will entertain them himself, and the others are all connections."

Seeing that Zhuang Yan didn’t understand, Zhuang Yongqiang sighed.

When talking to others, he could be concise and to the point, but whether she could understand or not depended on her comprehension. But for his own daughter, Zhuang Yongqiang had no choice but to patiently explain the benefits to Zhuang Yan.

Break it open, mash it up, and put it into your mouth. It tastes exactly like your dad's.

It took Zhuang Yan a long time to gradually understand the true meaning of this.

……

……

"This meal is good, right?" Luo Hao asked.

"Hmm, it's delicious, better than what I cook." Wang Jiani almost licked the plate clean.

"Let Lao Zhang do it from now on. If I don't have time, I'll ask Lao Zhang's lover to send it." Luo Hao said naturally.

"Why do I feel a little embarrassed?" Wang Jiani laughed.

"Everyone has their own expertise. It's best if someone at home cooks. Don't be shy." Luo Hao picked at Wang Jiani's little hair and asked, "How are the preparations for the float going?"

"It's OK. The bamboo is obedient. I'll just watch over it from inside the float."

"It's New Year's Day, what do you say?"

"My family? There's nothing to say. I'm so old, why do I still listen to my family? Besides, you are not the yellow-haired ghost-fire boy, the professor of the First Hospital of Medical University... no, 912." Wang Jiani said with a smile.

"Then I'll visit your home during the Chinese New Year. I'll go on the first day of the new year."

"Okay, you make arrangements."

The two of them were talking simply, relaxed and comfortable, while Zhuzi was sitting beside them chewing bamboo shoots, making a crunching sound.
"By the way, Sanhei is fine, but there's a problem with his legs bending when he walks." Wang Jiani suddenly thought of something and said it out loud.

"Go and see."

Night had fallen and the room was quiet. Luo Hao pushed the door open and went out, followed by Zhuzi.

"Wait for me~~~"

Luo Hao turned around and saw Zhuzi sitting down. He felt childish and sat down next to Zhuzi, watching Wang Jiani busy herself quietly.

Soon the girl came out and saw Luo Hao and Zhuzi sitting side by side. She laughed and reached out to rub each of them.

"Let's go see Dahei."

"Luo Hao, will there be four black and five black in the future? Can't you just pick a name carefully?" Wang Jiani complained.

"The name is just a code name. It's OK as long as it's easy to remember. You can't call Sanhei a little yellow dog that jumps on straight legs, right?"

Wang Jiani also knew that Luo Hao was just talking nonsense, but she just liked it.

Just order casually, and be perfunctory if you like. It doesn’t matter as long as Luo Hao says it.

When I arrived at the security room, Dahei and Sanhei were not there.

Someone took Dahei to patrol, and Sanhei stayed with Dahei every day. Although he had difficulty walking, they still went on patrol together.

"Professor Luo." The security captain greeted Luo Hao honestly after seeing him.

"What did you have for dinner?" Luo Hao asked casually.

"Hey, today is my birthday and my girlfriend bought me a birthday cake." The security captain's eyes lit up.

"Happy birthday." Luo Hao said perfunctorily. "It's a pity that it's the Ice and Snow Festival now. If people in the provincial capital don't care about tourists from other places, they won't go out to eat. We made it ourselves. Professor Luo, would you like to have a bite together?" The security captain invited.

"No, my big sister and I just ate."

Luo Hao stood outside the security room with his hands behind his back, looking at the night.

Dong step~
Dong~~
There were faint footsteps behind him, the sound was a bit strange. Luo Hao turned around and saw a woman in her thirties walking towards him.

She should be the security captain's girlfriend. Her height and appearance are not important. Luo Hao has a good impression of her because she can cook a meal on his birthday.

"Hello, Professor Luo. I hear my Zhuangzhuang always talking about you. Come in and wait for me. Come in and wait for me." The woman greeted politely.

Luo Hao always felt something was strange. He looked the woman up and down and recalled the footsteps just now.

Dong step~~~
When I was a child, there was a lame boy in my class and everyone gave him the nickname Dongcai.

This person has a slight limp. Is it a congenital defect?

Luo Hao turned on the AI ​​diagnosis, but AI did not give any diagnosis.

It’s a bit strange. Luo Hao looked at the woman and fell into deep thought.

The woman felt a little uneasy when Luo Hao looked at her. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Big girl, you and Professor Luo come in and sit down."

"Luo Hao?" Wang Jiani touched Luo Hao.

"What's your last name?" Luo Hao asked.

"Tian Yongli."

"Sister Tian, ​​what's wrong with your foot? It looks like it's injured." Luo Hao decided to ask directly.

The woman was a little embarrassed, but after thinking about the image of Luo Hao in everyone's mouths, she hesitated and said, "I had an injection in my foot recently."

inject?

"Hallux valgus?" Luo Hao asked.

"!!!" The woman was stunned for a moment, then raised her thumb, "Professor Luo, you are amazing. I heard that not many people get injections for hallux valgus, and you know all this! You are indeed an expert from the Medical University!"

"Not bad." Luo Hao still felt something was wrong. "It is said that hallux valgus and metatarsalgia caused by wearing too many high heels can be locally filled with collagen. It is a treatment method invented by a French doctor. It was just launched in 2018 and is said to be effective. Do you think the effect of the injection is good?"

"..." The woman never expected that Luo Hao would describe it in such detail.

She was stunned for a moment.

After saying some words, the following thoughts became clear. Luo Hao thought of Tian Yongli's limp and suddenly became serious. He glanced at the people around him and said, "Let's go inside."

When Luo Hao came into the room and saw that there was no one around, he asked softly, "Are you undergoing height-increasing treatment?"

"Increase height?" Wang Jiani suddenly became interested.

She is about 1.65 meters tall and always says that she is a little short and it would be better if she were 1.7 meters tall.

When Wang Jiani heard Luo Hao talking about the height-increasing treatment, she immediately became excited. "Sister Xiaotian, no wonder I felt that you have grown taller these days! How did you do the height-increasing treatment?"

"Big girl, stop making trouble." Luo Hao said seriously.

Seeing Luo Hao’s serious expression, Wang Jiani immediately shut up and looked at Tian Yongli curiously.

"Professor Luo...how did you know?" Tian Yongli asked in surprise.

"Because you walk with a limp, I guess it's a side effect of the hyaluronic acid injection."

Hyaluronic acid, height increase, when these words are put together, Wang Jiani doesn't understand.

What does this have to do with anything?

It seems that hyaluronic acid is not used in this way.

Seeing that Wang Jiani didn't understand and Tian Yongli was somewhat resistant, Luo Hao started chatting.

“Metatarsalgia or hallux valgus pain is very common in women who frequently wear high heels.

Because high heels transfer extra weight and pressure to the forefoot, the cushioning effect of the fat pad can also deteriorate, increasing pressure on the metatarsal head area due to overuse injuries.

It usually starts as pain in the forefoot or radiates to the midfoot; it gets worse with walking or running.”

“There have been case reports of filler injections used to treat metatarsalgia, but collagen was used and the treatment failed.

Silicone injections have been successfully used as a method to provide foot cushioning by mechanically supplementing the plantar fat pad.

Although silicone has no significant adverse reactions in long-term clinical follow-up of more than 1500 patients, silicone is not FDA-approved, and liquid silicone fillers are difficult to remove in the event of an adverse event.

After Luo Hao finished speaking, Tian Yongli's expression changed a little and became a little uglier.

"Later, some people tried to use hyaluronic acid for treatment. It was originally a means of treating diseases, but medical aesthetics people found that it can increase height, so there is a saying that 6 injections of hyaluronic acid can increase height by 1cm."

Tian Yongli stopped struggling and sighed, "Professor Luo, you are really amazing. You even know so much about medical aesthetics."

"I just took a look at the paper." Luo Hao said, becoming serious, "But if hyaluronic acid is used for treatment, the effect is quite good. I won't say more about this."

"Later, South Korea started using hyaluronic acid to increase height. They just fooled people and started selling it when they found it had some effect."

"what?"

"I won't go into more details." Luo Hao was too lazy to waste words. If he went into too much detail, the other party wouldn't understand him, so he simply described, "Hyaluronic acid, which is the hyaluronic acid we usually use, does have the effect of increasing height when it is injected, just like wearing 1cm high heels."

"But within 1-2 months, hyaluronic acid will penetrate into the interstitial space. The scary thing is that even for the same person's two feet, the osmotic pressure is different, which can easily lead to sequelae of different heights of the two feet."

"!!!"

Tian Yongli was deeply touched this time. Every word and description of Luo Hao were her personal experiences.

From the very beginning until the end, the situation I encountered was exactly the same, as if I had seen it with my own eyes.

"Did they tell you that you just need to go back and get two more shots?" Luo Hao asked.

"yes……"

"This is like adding flour if there is too much water, and adding water if there is too much flour." Luo Hao shook his head helplessly. "Although hyaluronic acid basically has no major toxic effects, it is still better to use less. They are not professional either. If it gets into the blood vessels, it will be terrible."

"I met a patient whose life was in danger after injecting hyaluronic acid. He had a pulmonary embolism and was given emergency treatment for a long time, but he almost died."

"Professor Luo." Tian Yongli was a little nervous and looked at Luo Hao eagerly, "Will I always limp in the future?"

"No, your feet will gradually return to normal. But..."

"But what?" Tian Yongli swallowed hard.

"The method of injecting hyaluronic acid to increase height is a new medical aesthetic method, and we haven't done enough research on the various side effects."

"There is such a thing as medical beauty!" Wang Jiani murmured.

"Koreans have gone crazy. They even have cosmetic surgery on their ankles. Some even use bone cement to fill the back of their heads. You see, this stuff... who would want to look at the back of their heads for no reason?"

"I...the back of my head seems a little less full." Wang Jiani touched the back of her head.

"Big girl, forget all this and don't think about those messy things." Luo Hao criticized Wang Jiani seriously, with a fatherly tone, "Bone cement, it's bone cement! It's hard to say what sequelae it will have in the next 20 years."

"Uh~~~" Wang Jiani could hear the seriousness in Luo Hao's words and nodded awkwardly.

"Too many cosmetic injections can easily cause mounds, and even that's not enough. They're using bone cement to fill the back of the head and hyaluronic acid to fill the heels. I've never seen a more outrageous form of over-medicalization than this."

Tian Yongli and Wang Jiani were silent. Judging from their expressions, they didn't seem to think that Luo Hao was right.

Luo Hao was also helpless. It started with Ye Qingqing and Zhuang Yan eating "dog food" to lose weight, and now he encountered hyaluronic acid filling to increase the height of the heels.

Ugh.

"Big girl, don't go for cosmetic surgery, do you hear me?"

"Oh, I see." Wang Jiani saw that Luo Hao seemed dissatisfied and added, "I will definitely not go for cosmetic surgery."

"Brother Qiang's father was undergoing a bone cement surgery and the fluid went back into his blood vessels and directly made a hole in his heart. If Director Gu hadn't come and performed the surgery, he would have died." Luo Hao added another special case.

"..." Wang Jiani didn't say anything, but her little hair shook as if she was arguing with Luo Hao.

"Do I look too much like a dad?" Luo Hao said with a smile.

"No, it's fine. But Luo Hao, do you think I really don't need to fill the back of my head?"

"Hahahaha." Luo Hao pressed Wang Jiani's head with his hand and rubbed her hard.

Zhuzi also came over and rubbed his head against Luo Hao, asking for a rub.

"Eyeliner is necessary. Look how big Bamboo's eyes look after the eyeliner is applied."

As he was speaking, there was a jumping sound outside the door.

Luo Hao stood up, walked to the door and looked in the direction of the sound.

The big yellow dog infected with tetanus could hardly bend its limbs, and it jumped around Dahei like a puppet.

Although his walking style seemed a little strange, Luo Hao felt relieved to see that his life was saved.

But Dahei looked around seriously, as if he was working and on duty.

It seems that Dahei is still not used to it after retiring. He is really a born cow and horse dog. He feels uncomfortable all over if he doesn't work for a day.

"Black!" Luo Hao shouted.

Dahei was still pretending, but when he heard Luo Hao calling him, he stopped pretending and ran over.

The big yellow dog behind him was hopping and barking anxiously.

Seeing this scene, Luo Hao burst into laughter.

It’s still more interesting to go to the hospital. It’s much more fun than the hospital. The big yellow dog jumps around like a little zombie, which is really funny.

Dahei ran over and was about to jump into Luo Hao's arms, but was grabbed by Zhuzi and thrown aside.

Zhuzi bared his teeth at Dahei, and Dahei also bared his teeth at Zhuzi, and the situation became tense in an instant.

Luo Hao knew that they were just joking, so he grabbed the bamboo and pulled it to his side. Dahei jumped into his arms and used half of his face to push Luo Hao hard.

The big yellow dog didn't jump over until this time. It looked at Luo Hao and seemed very close to him. It seemed to know that Luo Hao had saved it, but it didn't dare to come forward and rub against Luo Hao.

"Come on." Luo Hao waved his hand.

The big yellow dog hopped and jumped to Luo Hao's side.

Luo Hao rubbed it, and the big yellow dog lay on the ground with its belly exposed.

The sound of cranes calling could be heard in the distance.

The zoo was in chaos and the atmosphere was full of fireworks.

This is good, Luo Hao smiled.

"Zhu Zi, you can't bully..." Luo Hao was about to preach, but Zhu Zi had already rubbed his head over and tried to push Da Hei away from Luo Hao's arms.

"You."

"嘤嘤嘤~~~"

“Woof woof woof~~~”

There was chaos around Luo Hao.
