Chinese surgeons constructed a replacement nose on a patient’s forehead to replace his own that was injured. It will eventually be moved to the center of the man’s face. This may look unusual but it surprisingly is fairly common practice. “The forehead is a traditional place to get extra tissue from to rebuild a nose,” says Shehan Hettiaratchy, Chief of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Imperial College Healthcare NHS, who the BBC quoted as an expert on the matter. “The skin from there is a good match for nose skin. Most importantly, the forehead skin can be moved to the nose and keep its blood supply, which is essential otherwise the skin would die.” This reminds me of body artist Stelarc’s ear on his arm.
