The Birmingham specialist who gave a Redditch woman her confidence back with a prosthetic nose

The pair initially began with adhesive prosthetic noses which could be placed over the area.

But as Hardman’s nose collapsed further, it widened, meaning a prosthesis had to be designed around the changes to her face.

“There were going to be compromises and she knew that but she didn’t mind and she absolutely embraced it,” Hood said.

She said the change in Hardman’s confidence was striking.

“All of a sudden Jayne’s true character came out,” she said.

“I didn’t know her before this but I was told she was a firecracker then and she certainly is now.

“She’s one of my favourite patients.”
