In [[1996]], [[Nymphadora Tonks]] used this spell to fix [[Harry Potter]]'s broken nose, and that same year Harry used it to fix [[Demelza Robins]]' broken lip; he probably had not learned it in class, but assumed that if it could heal broken noses, it could heal split lips. [[Luna Lovegood]] had used this spell several times to fix her toes.
