Boy Who Lost His Nose After Being Treated By A Fake Doctor Grows Another On His Forehead [PICS]
A 12-year-old boy who lost his nose to a severe infection was able to grow another one - on his forehead. Indian doctors performed the remarkable procedure on Arun Patel whose nose had disappeared after the tissue shrivelled and died following treatment by quacks when he was a baby
Village doctors, with no medical training, administered injections to his face when he was just one month old, causing the tissue to die and drop off.
But thanks to unusual plastic surgery, the boy, from Indore, had a nose reconstructed on his forehead before it was transplanted into place.
The rare surgery was performed over four phases carried out over the space of a year. The nose grown on Arun's forehead was later removed and implanted on his face.
