Face Transplant Patient

But not better than what was there before the accident. I doubt I'd be ecstatic with my 'new face' if it ended up like that, but that would be in a superficial case, if I'd had cosmetic surgery to enhance my looks. I'd sue 😂

i think if you had the botton half of your skull and jawbone exposed for a few months you would welcome any working/feeling flesh.

True, obviously it must be better than before.

I hadn't seen the pic in the article previously, though. Only one taken not that long after surgery. It doesn't look half as bad as I thought originally, but still. Pretty odd.

Amazing nonetheless.

check the photo album i posted (last link i believe) you can see a presentation. a docture giving some sort of lecture and you can see the images on the wall behind him. this particular patient is a chinese man, and you can see just how gorey his face was. (you probably have to click next/previous to reach the image, but its there, and its quite disturbing)

Amazing, she isn't an attractive woman in my opinion, but she definitely looks normal after the followup surgeries.

she looks off, but she certainly doesnt look like the type of person that stops traffic as people scream "WTF IS THAT!?!??"

And you talk about me and amputees on kmc...........how do you know that someone here doesn't have a new face??.....
