Matsuda Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Doctors were left with no choice but to grow a traffic accident victim a new nose and then to transplant it in place of his damaged oneWe all know of celebrities who have had botch nose jobs, but this operation is certainly head and shoulders above the rest. A Chinese man has had a new nose grown on his FOREHEAD. The man, who has only been named as Xiaolian, had the treatment to create a replacement for his original nose which was infected and deformed. The procedure was carried out at a hospital in Fuzhou, Fujian province. The 22-year-old damaged his nose in a traffic accident in August 2012 but failed to seek treatment. As a result, an infection corroded the cartilage leaving the surgeons unable to repair it. They were left with no choice but to grow him a new nose and then to transplant it in place of his damaged one. The nose was created by placing a skin tissue expander onto Xiaolian’s forehead. This was cut into the shape of a nose and was supported by cartilage taken from the man’s ribs. Surgeons say that the nose has developed well and that the transplant surgery will be carried out soon.Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffi Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 No it's not. From his forehead the new nose can easily be swung to where his nose should be leaving a stalk with vascularisation intact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
