Fittingly born on Valentine’s Day in 2013, Tessa Evans, the girl who was born without a nose, is showered with love and praise each day by her family and people across the globe.
Tessa, whose condition is so rare that there are fewer than 100 cases worldwide, is praised by her mother for her “charming” personality and “infallible courage.”
Eight years since she became the first human to get nasal implants, Tessa is powering through and living her best life, refusing to let her condition stop her “from doing anything.”
After a normal pregnancy with no signs of any abnormalities, Grainne and Nathan Evans were shocked to see their Valentine’s Day newborn was born without a nose.
Tessa, from Maghera, Ireland, has Bosma arhinia microphthalmia syndrome (BAMS), meaning she was born without a nose. According to the National Institutes of Health, the condition is so rare that there are fewer than 100 cases reported in medical history.
