Man Grows Nose On His Forehead
Man, identified only as Xiaolia, suffered a damaged, then infected and deformed, he then had a new one artificially grown on a rather unusual place.
The 22-year-old man, 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.
