Indore Doctors have performed a rare plastic surgery by reconstructing the nose on the forehead of a 12-year-old boy and then implanting it at the original place on his face. In the fourth phase of the surgery, the place on the boy's forehead where the nose was grown was normalised. During the first phase of the surgery, a special silicon 'tissue expander' was put on the forehead of the boy. Therefore, we decided to perform a special plastic surgery on him, which is medically called as 'pre-fabricated forehead flap rhinoplasty'," the 42-year-old surgeon said. He said that the rare surgery was performed in four phases which took one year and got completed recently.
