Tessa Evans, born without a nose due to the rare Bosma arhinia microphthalmia syndrome, has become a symbol of resilience and medical innovation. Diagnosed with this condition, which affects the development of the nose, eyes, and puberty, Tessa underwent groundbreaking treatments from a young age.
At two weeks, she had a tracheostomy tube, and by age two, she received a cosmetic nasal implant. These treatments, including advances in 3D printing, aim to reduce future surgeries.While her condition prevents her from smelling, her family stays vigilant about her safety. Tessa’s journey has inspired many, and her parents’ Facebook page, “Tessa; Born Extraordinary,” has nearly 10,000 followers, sharing her story of hope and progress.
