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

It was 3D printed into a shape based on images of her nose from before her treatment began. Surgeons then implanted it onto her forearm where skin from her temple was grown over it. After two months growing on her arm, the nose was transplanted onto her face. Surgeons connected blood vessels that had formed in the arm’s skin to blood vessels on the woman’s face. The woman was said to be doing “Very well” after 10 days of hospitalisation and three weeks of antibiotics.
