Surgeons build new nose on Chinese man's forehead

A surgeon in China says he has built an extra nose out of a man’s rib cartilage and implanted it under the skin of his forehead to prepare for a transplant, in what is probably the first operation of its kind.

Guo Zhihui, of Fujian Medical University Union Hospital in China’s south-eastern province of Fujian, spent nine months cultivating the graft for a 22-year-old man whose nose was damaged.
