If a person who has no nose (lets say from an accident or they were born like that), can a cosmetic surgeon create some kind of special synthetic nose?
Does anyone know of any cosmetic surgeons who can do this?
Can a cosmetic surgeon do this?
Yes.
They take skin and cartalige from another part of your body and can graft it on to your face.
It happens all the time.
In fact... The first case of an artificial nose being grafted onto a human face is actually from more then 2000 years ago...
The doctor in Egypt took skin from the forehead and cut it, twisted it to face the right way, and then stitched it into the right position...
I saw a Discovery Channel Documentary on it many many years ago...
I'll see if I can find a link to someting about it from http://www.livescience.com
Reply:take a look at michael jackson
his nose probably falls off all the time
he probably wears that covering over it outside so the sun doesnt melt it or something
Reply:I saw a program on TV where they made a nose/repaired lips, made fore heads. many things. Yes i'd say they can. Check with your doctor and ask for referals to the kind of doctor you need to see. God has gifted many doctors to preform miracles.
Reply:Yep! They use carlidge from other areas (usuall rib or sometimes the ear) and skin grafts.
I've actually had this done as I was born with a cleft lip %26amp; palate and a flat nose that had no profile side on so they created a tip using my rib cartlidge. It hurt a bit but was soooo worth it the results were excellent!! However I don't know how they would do the inside stuff (sinus etc) on someone with no nose to begin with.
