Stranger than Fiction: A most unusual transplant. Brings to mind the brachial rhinoplasty:

In these operations, defects on the nose were reconstructed using skin from the arm, and in some cases, from the arm of another person. But unlike a skin graft where the skin is completely lifted from the distant site of origin, for a brachial rhinoplasty it was required that the arm be left in contact with the face "for the space of ten or fifteen days, or until union had taken place; and it was not until then that the arm was released from its situation."
