Chinese man has new nose grown on his forehead after losing his nose in a car crash

A 22 year old Chinese man named Xiaolian has
had a new nose grown on his forehead after
loosing his original nose in a car accident.
Xiaolian had the treatment to create a
replacement for his original nose which was
infected and deformed following the accident
in 2012. He actually left his damaged nose
unattended to after the accident which led to
the infection and eventual deformity, leaving
the surgeons unable to repair it.
Surgeons in China were left with no option
than to create another nose for the man to
breathe properly and then transplant it to the
original place. 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. Continue...
Surgeons say that the nose has developed well
and that the transplant surgery will be carried
out soon.
