Nose grown on woman’s arm was transplanted on her face, French doctors say

A nose was grown on a woman's arm and transplant onto her face. One of the first instances of the procedure has been claimed by plastic surgeons.

A woman with cancer lost a large portion of her nose and had multiple failed reconstructions, according to a news release.

A new method of growing skin over a 3D-printed artificial limb was proposed and tried.

The nose is difficult to get the outer lining, middle lining, and inner lining because it is three-dimensional.

The process took a long time and required many steps.

Talei said that the woman's arm was the first place where the prosthesis was placed.

According to a plastic surgeon in Florida, these types of Prosthetics areporous so that your own cells can grow in.

Talei said that a vein and arteries were attached to a section of skin on the forearm.

After a few months, the new nose was put on the woman's face and the blood vessels were reconnected through micro surgery. The surgery has been a success according to Talei.

The most common thing they have done is with ears. The 3D printing of the scaffolding, which was not available 20 years ago, is a promising technique.
