It's why when you hear someone who got fucking torn apart in an accident that they had to undergo a dozen or 20 reconstructive surgeries or something. Most of the surgeries wasn't carving a nose out of flesh, most surgeries were moving a slab of flesh a few inches and reattaching it to the blood supply.
