A Pennsylvania woman whose nose was bitten off by a dog has undergone 16 surgeries to reconstruct it using skin from her forehead. Jordan Wilson, 29, was attacked in April 2022 by a family friend's Boerboel, which latched onto her nose and swallowed it.
The damage was severe, leaving her with devastating injuries. Surgeons placed tissue expanders in her forehead to stretch the skin before using it to rebuild her nose. Wilson has since had multiple procedures to thin and shape the new nose.
Wilson said she initially struggled to go out in public but now feels she is starting to look like herself again. She has documented her recovery on TikTok, where she has over 135,000 followers. Despite the trauma, she remains an animal lover but is more protective around her children.
Wilson still has about three more surgeries ahead to refine the result. She shares her story to raise awareness and comfort others facing similar facial trauma.
