How Can Sense Of Smell Be Restored After A Brain Surgery?

My girlfriend had a rare thing with her brain that was giving her upwards of 80 seizures a day. To fix it the doctors detached half of her brain. I think the condition was called Rasmussen. The surgery for the most part diminished her sense of smell. It makes her sad sometimes. I was wondering if there was a way to give the smell back or to give her my sense of smell
