What I'm about to say is more a reference to maybe the near future. I could see this being used to great lengths with some thing like a maker bot a plastic surgeon could use some form of resin or bone like material to on the spot replace damaged bone and repair facial damage.

Maybe they can help that guy that won Dancing with the Stars a bit more. What's his name, J.R. something? I read up on him, apparently 40% of his body was burned when he was in Afghanistan in 2003, in the military. He's had 30 surgeries since, but he still doesn't look right.
