Woman Meets the Man Who Received a Face Transplant from Her Deceased Husband

This is amazing, can't imagine how they both feel, more HERE.

It has been a little over a year since Lilly Ross agreed to let doctors use her late husband’s face in a facial transplant after he committed suicide – and now, after seeing the results, she is glad she did.
Andy Sandness, another man who had tried to take his own life, had been living in shame of the misshapen face that he was left with as a result of his attempted suicide 10 years ago. Then, in 2016, doctors found him a match for a facial transplant.

Thanks to a 56-hour surgery at Mayo Clinic, he now wears the face of Lilly’s high school sweetheart, Calen Ross.
Having had his image restored to normalcy, Andy says that he has never been happier.

I did not read the link. That one is just too creepy.

Wow

I didn't know they could transplant a face. They sure are becoming very advanced these days with what they can do.

I think the first face transplant was in France over 10 years ago. I've seen few others since then.

Wow, I'm afraid that would bother me. It's good that there are people around who will donate though.
