A LITTLE girl born without a nose due to an ultrarare genetic condition is due to have a brand new, 3Dprinted nose implant fitted. Tessa Evans, 8, from County Derry, N. Ireland, is one of only 100 people in the world with Bosma arhinia microphthalmia (BAM) syndrome. When she was two, Tessa was the first person in the world to have a nasal implant made using 3D technology. At age four a larger nasal implant was fitted, but that subsequently had to be removed after becoming infected. Now Tessa’s medical team, led by Dr Juling Ong, at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London, are planning to insert a new implant next year and young Tessa can’t help but be thrilled at the thought of finally having a nose. She said: “I can’t wait for my new nose, it’s going to make me really happy.”
