Cyanea sat in the waiting room waiting for his name to be called. He had been waiting for this appointment for quite a while, but now that he was here, he was starting to, ironically, get cold feet. As a Cinderace, his fur already gave his blue hips a fuller appearance, but only so far as to look like clothing rather than anything with actual weight to it. He wished that he had more going on below the waist, but he was not sure how to do that without just gaining all over and losing his lithe upper body. The only thing he could think to do was exactly why he found himself now in this doctor’s office. Plastic surgery was something that he was wary about, but supposedly, this doctor had been developing a way to perform cosmetic surgeries that actually altered your body without any fillers or packers. However, it is an experimental procedure, meaning it might not work, but there is monetary compensation provided to participants whether it works or not. Seemed like a pretty good deal.

“Cyanea?” The Cinderace jumped a little, lost in thought. Gulping down his nerves, he stood up from the waiting area and walked over to the door to meet the nurse. “Hi! We’re glad to have you here! Just follow me, and I’ll get you set up in one of the consultation rooms. The service you’ve requested has been developed to the point that it can be done as an outpatient appointment, but I do need to warn you that this is still in its clinical trial phase. Have you looked over the patient educational resources given to you when you checked in?

“Yes, and filled out the release form.” The release form was one of the reasons he started to get nervous about being here, but he was assured that it was simply a formality. The few people that did develop side effects due to the procedure have, at worst, had a rash flare up for a few days. “So...I’ve been wanting to ask, how exactly does this whole thing work? It doesn’t even sound possible!” Cyanea remembered reading that the procedure was simply done with a few injections and there would be instant results, which made no sense to him.

The nurse thought for a second, “Well, that’s just it. No one really understands how or why it works; we’ve only seen that it just does. It’s why Dr. Hemlocke is being hailed as a genius now in the rhinoplasty community! He won’t share much about it quite yet, though. I think he’s worried about someone stealing his work.” The nurse stopped at one of the doors and opened it for the pokemon, “Alright, you just have a seat up here, and Dr. Hemlocke should be here in just a minute!”
