Unlike more vulgar hide graft subprogram , where an uninjured piece of tissue paper is simply move from one part of the consistence to another , doctors grew a specially - sized graft over a connection of rakehell vessel transplanted from Xu Jianmei ’s thigh . This assure right bloodflow , and could even give Xu a natural blushing reaction , her physician articulate .
