After his nose was damaged, then infected and deformed, this Chinese man
has had a new one artificially grown on a rather unusual place.
The
22-year-old man, identified only as 'Xiaolian,' damaged his nose in a
vehicle accident back in August 2012, but decided not to seek medical
treatment. An infection then gradually corroded the cartilage, and, when
Xiaolian finally went to see a doctor, it was too late: the surgeons
were helpless.
There was no other choice left but to grow a new nose to transplant it, replacing the damaged one.
The
surgeons placed a skin tissue expander onto Xiaolian's forehead,
cutting in into the shape of a nose and supporting it by cartilage taken
from his ribs.
The medical procedure was carried out at a hospital
in Fuzhou, China's Fujian province. Surgeons say the nose is
well-developed, and the replacement surgery will be carried out soon.
