SCIENCE:A Chinese Man Get Nose Planted On His Forehead To Replace Damaged One.

A Chinese man has had a new nose grown
on his forehead.

The man, who has only been named as
Xiaolian, had the treatment to create a
replacement for his original nose which
was infected and deformed.

The procedure was carried out at a hospital
in Fuzhou, Fujian province.

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.

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.
