Spotted on The Daily Mail UK:

That really is a nose job! Chinese man has new nose grown on his FOREHEAD to replace the original which was damaged in a car crash

• Xiaolian, 22, damaged his nose in a traffic accident in August 2012
• Failed to get treatment so it became infected and cartilage was damaged
• Surgeons were unable to repair it so created a new nose on his forehead
• It was made using cartilage from his ribs and a skin tissue expander
• Surgeons are hoping to carry out transplant surgery to put it in place of his old nose soon

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.

Boy has a nose growing on his head ready for transplant

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.

Gosh..that’s really a weird spot to grow a new nose though. But anyway, hope that the operation will be a success for him!(:
