Chinese man grows nose on forehead after accident

A Chinese man has had a new nose grown on his forehead as part of a plan to replace his original deformed nose, which had become infected.

The new nose was grown by placing a skin tissue expander onto 22-year-old Xiaolian's forehead, cutting it into the shape of a nose and planting a cartilage taken from his ribs.

Surgeons in Fuzhou, Fujian province said the new nose is in good shape and the transplant surgery could be performed soon, according to local media.
