Full Face Transplant!


The craziest thing taking 22 hours and 30 doctors. The very first full face transplant has happened. "In a clandestine operation that took place almost a month ago in Barcelona, a man who'd lost his much of his face in a shooting accident received an entire face—skin and muscles, and as the BBC clarified, even "cheekbones, nose, lips and teeth"—from a donor." CRAZY!!! The man was a patient that formerly been unable to breathe or swallow, and now it's like nothing ever happened. He see's himself in the mirror and was "calm and satisfied." This man was very lucky but has to be on anti rejection drugs for the rest of his life.
