Surgeons in France have grown a woman a new nose on her arm - before successfully grafting it to her face.
The patient in Toulouse lost a large part of her nose after being treated for nasal cavity cancer in 2013, using radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
She spent years living without the organ, enduring a failed attempt to reconstruct the organ using skin flap grafting, and experiencing difficulty wearing facial prosthetics.
But a ground-breaking procedure has now seen a new nose grown on her forearm using cutting-edge technology.
