Partial face transplant

The world's first partial Invalid Link Removed on a living human was carried out on Dinoire on Invalid Link Removed, Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed by a team of surgeons led by Professor Invalid Link Removed (the Invalid Link Removed who performed the first successful Invalid Link Removed in Invalid Link Removed) and Professor Invalid Link Removed in Invalid Link Removed, Invalid Link Removed. A triangle of face tissue from a brain-dead human's nose and mouth was grafted onto the patient Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed. "Scientists elsewhere have performed Invalid Link Removed and Invalid Link Removed transplants. However, the claim is the first for a mouth and nose transplant. Experts say the mouth and nose are the most difficult parts of the face to transplant." Invalid Link Removed
A debate over the ethics of the operation emerged, however, after it was alleged that Dinoire had her face ravaged by her labrador while she was asleep after attempting suicide by consuming an excessive amount of Invalid Link Removed, and that her donor, Invalid Link Removed, had committed Invalid Link Removed by hanging. Concern was raised over Dinoire's ability to consent to the transplant, considering her mental state. Dubernard strenuously denied that Dinoire had attempted suicide, while Devauchelle insisted he would not have conducted the transplant if he knew St. Aubert had hanged herself, as he feared the Invalid Link Removed in her face would be damaged. Invalid Link Removed
Whether the challenging surgery will be proven successful, is yet to be seen. It was reported on Invalid Link Removed, Invalid Link Removed that Dinoire has used her new lips to take up smoking, which doctors fear will botch her transplant by rejecting the face tissue. Invalid Link Removed
There has been a change in her appearance. Her original face had a wide, tilted nose, a prominent chin and thin lips. The donated face has given her a straight and narrow nose, a neater chin and a fuller mouth.

maybe its me...but i think thats a bit eery....wake up with a suicide victims face:blink: .


besides that little tidbit...amazing.
 
This is pretty wild. The first time I heard of this, I wasn't sure what to think. Then I saw a show on discovery channel(I think) and heard a potential recipients view on it. If it can help people with severe disfigurements I'm all for it. Still I can't help thinking about that movie "Face-Off" with Travolta and Cage.
 
Yeah, it is freaky - but thinking of the potential for helping people with severe disfigurements Im all for it.

Yeah, but its just skin even though you would look different, you wont look like the donor either. Their skin over your facial bone structure.

What freaks me out is the entire hand transplant! Have you ever seen that one?

That's false advertisement...and this is coming from her fiance!

Gimpy doesn't look like that...her boobs aren't that big :lol: But, they're really nice...and she does have a 23" waist with (disgusting after seeing the foods she eats versus what I'm eating for a fatass 35" waist </rant>)

I'll try to take a good picture of her so you can see the hip to waist ratio, its insane...i'm jealous...(sort of...lol)
