Taiwanese celebrity Janet Lin recently underwent surgery to remove two "old large cysts" that had been bothering her for some time. The cysts were located in inconvenient places: one on her knee and the other on her hip.

Yes! Haven't doctors seen enough butts before?

โ€” Janet LinResponding humorously to her agent's concern about her showing her backside to the doctor for cyst removal.

Lin, who is preparing to move to the United States with her family in 2025, shared updates from the operating room on social media. Her agent expressed shock at her casual demeanor, to which Lin humorously responded by asking if the doctor had seen many buttocks before, given the location of one cyst. She even turned the operating room into an impromptu talk show, asking the surgeon about the strangest place they had ever operated on.

What is the strangest place you have ever operated on?

โ€” Janet LinAsking the surgeon during her operation.

Despite the procedure, Lin described the experience as relatively painless, with the only discomfort coming from the anesthetic injection. She noted that the hip, despite having more flesh, was more sensitive during the cutting, squeezing, and stitching process than her knee. She also detailed the post-operative care, which involves changing bandages twice daily and carefully protecting the wounds from water.

Only getting the anesthetic needle really hurts for a couple of times.

โ€” Janet LinDescribing the pain level during her surgery.

Lin emphasized that her biggest pre-surgery concern was not pain, but the potential impact on her ability to care for her two young children. Fortunately, the surgery was minimally invasive, requiring only a small incision. She was able to resume her daily activities, including picking up her children and riding a bicycle, just one day after the operation. She now encourages others with unusual lumps or growths to seek prompt medical advice.

The hip, with its thicker flesh, was surprisingly more painful during the cutting, squeezing, and stitching process than the knee.
