A new nose has been grown by surgeons on a patient’s
forehead, so it can be transplanted to replace his original
one.
Xiaolian, 22, didn’t look after his badly damaged nose
following a traffic accident in August, 2012.
The infection corroded the cartilage of his nose, making it
impossible for surgeons to fix it.
They then decided to grow him a new one at a hospital in
Fuzhou in Fujian province, China.
It was grown by placing a skin tissue expander onto
Xiaolian’s forehead, cutting it into the shape of a nose and
planting cartilage taken from his ribs.
The surgeons said that the new nose is in good shape and
the transplant surgery could be performed soon.
