Doctors from China are set to help a disfigured woman get a new face by having it grown on her chest.
Surgeons
are expected to cultivate the woman's nose and mouth using her own
tissue before having them transplanted to her face in about a year,
according to media.
The operation, which will cost about 500,000 yuan (£58,000), is due to give the woman a 'life-changing' face-lift.
The 27-year-old patient lost her nose, lips and cheeks aged two due to complications caused by a high fever, reported Huanqiu.com, an affiliation to People's Daily.
She has had trouble eating and talking since then. She also lost the fingers on her right hand, said the report.
