A young man who had to breath with his mouth for 17 years after a traffic accident has got a new nose with the help of doctors in Chongqing.
The new nose was made by doctors using a section of the man's own rib and has given him a new lease of life.
His nasal bone was destroyed during the accident. Without a nose, he dared not go out for fear he might be treated as a bugbear.
