*Sometimes, advances in science just completely blow my mind — and when what had been “science fiction” becomes reality, I marvel at a God that has allowed me to live to see it.
Doctors have implanted a 3D-printed nose onto a person for the first time in the US. In doing so, they’ve completely changed the life of a teenager, Dallan Jennet, who’d been critically burned when he was only 9 years old.
Dallan fell on a live power line near his home in the Marshall Islands. His entire face was burned, leaving the boy with severe facial scarring and a hole where his nose had been.
Dallan spent the next five years in self-imposed isolation. Because he didn’t want anyone staring at his face, he even dropped out of school.
“His nose is completely reconstructed,” Dagan, of New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai, told the Daily News after the surgery. “It looks great.”
Jennet’s ordeal began seven years ago when, at age 9, he jumped from a tree onto a roof and hit a power line. The shock threw the boy off the roof and burned off his nose.
