Doctors Grow Nose on Man’s Forehead






By Gillian Mohney

Sep 25, 2013 1:17pm ABCNEWS/Reuters EXCERPT:


After a Chinese man’s nose was irreparably damaged from infection, his doctors decided to “grow” a second nose on the man’s forehead to replace the original nose.
The patient, identified only as Xiaolian according to Reuters, has his nose damaged from an infection following a car accident. His doctors decided the only way to reconstruct his nose was to surgically form a new one on the 22-year-old’s forehead.


Tissue expanders were placed under the skin and then cut to resemble a nose. According to local media, doctors expect to implant the new nose soon.

Very cool medical advancement.
Oh, hell, you know I didn't post this for that...
Look at the Pic!
He's lucky he didn't drown, one rainstorm could have killed him...
He must take baths instead of showers...
You wonder if he picked it, don't you?
He pissed off the wrong guy, and that guy really did rearrange his face...
 
gives totally new meaning to the idea of having the nose in the middle of your face.....
But why did they put it on upside down?!
 
If this procedure doesn't work out for him I suppose he could get a job with Kleenex.

(All kidding aside, that is a really cool way to solve this guys issue.)

When the come to reposition it they will most likely leave a flap of skin connected, the bit between his nose and the new nose. That will give a blood supply to the new nose until more blood vessels can grow. Similar process occurs with breast surgery to retain the nipple.

Actually I consider myself quite an expert. I started my study over sixty five years ago, first hand to mouth, so to speak, and have maintained an active interest ever since, with the possible exception of those years between say three and ten!

Hey! I posted this for smart *** remarks! There you go, being all practical... :p
 
I'll give you practical. Imagine what you can grow (maybe larger?) in close proximity to the original part to have a spare. The mind boggles.
