Valentine’s Day 2013 saw the birth of Tessa Evans. She was a unique child, as she was born without a nose. Every day, she receives love and admiration from her family and friends worldwide because of her uniqueness that makes her very special.
Tessa is one of less than 100 persons in the world with the same illness. Her mother compliments her “unfailing bravery” and “charming” demeanor. After being the first person to undergo nose implants eight years ago, Tessa is still going strong and enjoying her best life. Her circumstances don’t “stop her from doing anything that she wants!”
When their Valentine’s Day baby was born without a nose, parents Grainne and Nathan Evans were taken aback. There were no symptoms of a concern, and the pregnancy was normal.
Tessa, who was born without a nose, is an Irish native who was diagnosed with Bosma Arhinia Microphthalmia Syndrome (BAMS). As we have already mentioned, less than 100 examples of the illness have been documented in medical history, according to the National Institutes of Health.
In addition, because the disease is so uncommon, treatment is challenging. This implies that Tessa is unable to breathe via her nose or smell, yet she is still able to sneeze, cough, and get colds.
“It was funny the very first time she sneezed, but we actually found out it actually came from the chest,” Nathan, her dad, said. However, that brief moment of normalcy was very pleasant.
She had surgery to place a tracheostomy tube in her mouth when she was less than two weeks old, which restored her ability to eat and sleep properly. Tessa was the first person to ever have the missing portion of her nose replaced with a cosmetic implant. Her age was merely two years.
