A teenage girl, Cassidy Hooper was born with no nose or eyes attached to her face. Billed to undergo surgery, the 17-year-old is really excited about getting a nose.

It has taken six years for doctors to get the stage where they can be in a position to create a nose for Cassidy - a process they described as laying foundations for a house. They had to remove a bone from her rib cage and attach it to her forehead to form a bridge for her new nose. More photos of her after the cut:

When she was born, her condition left doctors baffled, especially since she had no other medical problems and led a healthy life. Her surgeon, Dr. David Matthews has worked for the past five years expanding her face to create a bony opening and she had also been using expensive prosthetic eyes.

'I was actually thinking of what the reaction of everyone would be when that last surgery finished,' she said. She added; '...And I think everyone's going to be so excited.'

Wow...sometimes we never think that having a nose is a big deal, something to be grateful about....It's food for thought for us all...!

Another reason to thank God for how I was created. I feel pity for the young lady and I can only wish that her next surgery will be a major success.

Na wa oooo. God have mercy. How could this happen.

My father I appreciate U 4 my nose and eyes
And every little strand of hair U gave me

No!!! what was the sin of this girl that she was born like this. Was it her father that sinned or her mother.

Lord I appreciate you for who I am, and where you're taking me.

If not for the pix, I won't believe this story. No nose, no eyes? Without an accident? And me I dey hia dey complain say I no know book just lik "I no know book" too dey complain. May God forgive us and also give those doctors the wisdom to make her look better because as the topic says, she indeed looks weird. She looks like a doll.
