Following a severe infection that destroyed a man's nose, surgeons used advanced reconstruction to grow a replacement directly on his forehead before moving it into place.
This process involved stretching the skin and shaping new tissue over several months to ensure the new nose had its own working blood supply.
This complex procedure is a breakthrough in reconstructive surgery, using the patient’s own body to rebuild both his appearance and physical health after a major injury.
