A Chinese man has grown a new nose on his forehead.

Astonishing images showing what may be the most extreme nose job yet,have revealed Xiaolian at a hospital in Fuzhou, Fujian province, as doctors check on his progress ahead of transplant surgery.

The 22-year-old had the extreme treatment after his original nose was infected and left deformed after a traffic accident.

The infection had corroded the cartilage of the nose making it impossible for surgeons to fix.

It left no alternative but to grow a new nose as a replacement.

Xiaolian neglected his nasal trauma following a traffic accident 

Doctors at a hospital in Fuzhou, Fujian province placed a skin tissue expander onto Xiaolian's forehead and cut it into the shape of a nose.
