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

They chose to implant the nose device on the forearm as the skin is thinner there, similar to that on the face. Celice had to visit the hospital on a regular basis while the skin was growing to make sure it was developing properly and there was no damage. After two months the nose was sufficiently grown to be moved up to her face. To replace the skin taken from her forearm they used a graft from her thighs. She remained in hospital for 10 days and was given antibiotics, before returning home.
