Nose Implant For Twelve-year-old Boy in Indore

The new organ was made entirely from the boy’s own body tissue and cartilage as his nose tissues began to waste when he was three months old.

Arun Patel in Ujjain district of Madhya Pradesh breathes a new zest for life after a team of Indore surgeons successfully operated on him to fix a new nose on his face.

The youngster, a resident of Matana village, was brought to Indore by his family members around a year back for nose reconstruction surgery. Arun was forced to put up with rather weird looks ever since his nose tissues began to waste due to a disease at the age of three months.
