who is jimmy kimmel?

what we have here is a nice publicity stunt but what is really behind it?
- just a hoax? (seriously doubt it)
- a new advanced medical technique? (doubt it)
- a slightly unorthodox way of obtaining a standard skin graft? (quite possible)
- something else? (let's see what the future shows)

Dr. Patrick Byrne, the director of Facial, Plastic and Reconstruction Surgery at Johns Hopkins Medical Center, said forehead skin is used to help reform noses because it is the closest match to skin on the nose. However, usually the nose is reformed during surgery instead of on a patient’s forehead.

Helps to read past the first paragraph b4 calling skepticism :)
