<unk>  ca. 1918Nose<unk>  is a craniofacial<unk>  for someone who no longer has their original<unk> .<unk>  are designed by anaplastologists who have their patients referred to them by ear,<unk> , and throat doctors and plastic surgeons. Unlike the more common nasal operation called a rhinoplasty, total reconstruction of the<unk>  using existing tissue, prosthetic<unk>  implantation requires the<unk>  to be made completely from synthetic material; prior to getting a<unk> , the original<unk>  is usually left partially intact, so a rhinectomy, surgical removal of the<unk> , has to be performed before a prosthetic<unk>  can be used. One of the biggest challenges for anaplastologists in constructing a<unk>  is finding the right material to use for the<unk> , as it's a complex organ with several distinct functions and a unique structure. The major functions of the<unk>  include the sense of smell (olfaction), filtered breathing, and alteration of speech. All of these tasks can be completed due to the<unk> ’s network of bones, cartilage, and muscle, which also helps to keep the<unk>  stable on the face. Although there are currently usable prosthetic<unk> s, they only have temporary functionality. Advancements in areas such as 3D-printing have medical professionals hoping to create<unk> s that are as efficient as the real ones.
