Century scientific breakthrough is what that will transformed a man named as
Xiaolian. He had the treatment to create a replacement for his original nose
which was infected and deformed. The procedure which has had a new nose grown
on his forehead.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 and was supported by cartilage taken from the man’s ribs.
Surgeons
said that the nose has developed well and that the transplant surgery will be
carried out soon.
