Scientists from Britain have come up with a new way to treat facial scars. It will require human
Researchers intend to use cells to3D printed cartilage of the nose and ears. They could be used in the future to treat people with birth defects or facial scars due to burns, injury, or disease.
According to a plastic surgeon inSwansea, the use of 3D printing will speed up operations, improve the patient experience and reduce costs. He expressed hope that clinical trials could be carried out in "the next two to five years." This gives hope to patients with visual defects. For example, Simon Weston, a war veteran who has more than 85-90% scars on his body after a bomb hit the ship on which he served, shared his expectations.
