Nose transplanted in a bed: the amazing experience of Chinese doctors

 A 22-year-old Chinese man named Xiolian was in a serious car accident in 2012 and severely injured his nose. The resulting infection had eaten away at the nasal cavity, making it impossible for surgeons to repair it. Then, in a hospital in Fuzhou, China, they decided to transplant a new organ. The prosthesis was formed by placing a skin-stretching device on the young man's forehead, giving him a nose shape, and adding skin from his ribs. The doctors reported that the new nose was developing well and that the nose transplant could be performed as expected. Therefore, the forehead is a good place for extra tissue to be collected in the reconstruction of the nose, and the skin there is a good match with the skin of the nose. Because you can move the skin of the forehead into the nose and keep the circulation going.
