Hello my dear friends, today let us discus about a Chinese man has had a new nose grown on his Forehead. We all
know of celebrities who have botch nose jobs, but this operation is certainly head and shoulders above the
rest.
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.
A doctor checks the infected and
deformed nose of Xiaolian, before replacing it with a new nose, grown by
surgeons on his forehead. 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.
