After 16 Surgeries, Woman Whose Nose Was Rebuilt From Her Forehead Says She’s Looking Like Herself

She reports she is starting to look like herself again following extensive nasal reconstruction.

Overview

  • Jordan Wilson, 29, lost her nose in an April 2022 attack by a family friend’s Boerboel in Pennsylvania.
  • Surgeons rebuilt her nose using a staged forehead flap with tissue expanders, followed by thinning and separation procedures.
  • She says odd sensations and numbness persist, her nose now feels normal to the touch, and roughly three refinement surgeries remain.
  • Police designated the dog dangerous without ordering euthanasia, and the owner is paying her health insurance and out-of-pocket medical expenses.
  • Wilson has documented her recovery on TikTok, where coverage reports more than 135,000 followers, and she says nasal function has returned.
