A Nose Grows on One Man’s Forehead

[winston53660]

Chinese surgeons at a hospital in Fuzhou, Fujian grew a new nose on a 22-year-old man’s forehead after an accident left his original one unusable, Reuters reports.
Xiaolian had sustained injuries to his original nose after a traffic accident, which led to a severe infection and deformity.
To craft the new appendage, doctors took cartilage from Xiaolian’s ribs and implanted it under skin tissue on his forehead. When finished growing later this month, the nose will be transplanted to its proper place.
In January, British doctors grew a nose on a man’s arm after he lost his original to cancer.

But did they cut off his nose to spite his arm?

 

[ChrisL]

Lol! That looks so weird. I wonder if he has to pick it to keep it clean?

That way he can breathe when he goes down on his girlfriend.

It's just a matter of time before someone wants a penis growing on his or her forehead. You know it's going to happen. Then the phrase dick head will take on a whole new meaning.

That's not reeeeeeeall!?

That's not reeeeeeeall!?

Apparently it is - grown for later transplanting, or cosmetic surgery after cancer?

I've enjoyed all the fun people have had with this - it's a comedian's wet dream with unlimited potential.

That said, modern medicine never ceases to truly amaze me and I'm also amazed by the imagination and thought processes that must circulate in the minds of doctors and scientists these days. Truly remarkable.

You mean when he "blows his top" ?

The only thing I can think of to say is, "That's AWESOME!!!!!" Seriously, I'm literally in awe of the potential and the fact that medicine has this ability right this very minute!!
