struggle to find any humour in that to be honest. an attractive girl before the incident and now has to live with a disfigured transplant of someone else's face. must be horrific. a very, very brave girl to go public.

Wonder if the specs came as part of the deal?

no doubt it's a truly awful thing to happen to anyone.

fascinating article with not just the man who received the transplant, but others,

the first partial face transplant was in 2003. and this, less than ten years later:

 

The surgery started at dawn on March 19, 2012. The face of a recently deceased 21-year-old man came off as one solid flap, skin, muscle, bone, nerves, blood vessels, tongue—everything as one piece. Rodriguez removed what was left of Richard's disfigured face, dissected down to the skull. He attached the new face midway back on Richard's scalp. He stabilized it with screws, tapped the jaw together, and finally draped the skin and sewed it down like a patch on a coat or a pair of jeans.

 

but jeezus, this would be difficult to live with. looking at someone else when you look in the mirror?

chewing with someone else's teeth?

speaking with their tongue?

 

i just can't even imagine.
