Surgeons In France Successfully Transplant Nose Grown On Woman's Arm To Her Face

Although the surgery got rid of the cancer, it left her too self-conscious to leave her home and took away her sense of smell. Prior to her cancer treatment, doctors had created a custom-made nose using 3D-printed biomaterial and kept it on ice until technology caught up, The Daily Mail reports. This year, however, they were able to implant it under the skin on her forearm where cells and blood vessels grew into the device over two months.
