The first person to receive a face transplant in the United States



Connie Culp is the first woman who has received a face transplant in the United States. Five years ago her husband shot her, so he destroyed her face, Connie's nose, mouth and eyes were completly deformed. She had surgery 30 times but her face didn't improve, so finally she received a face transplant.
The operation was so complicate, the doctors spend 20 hours to replace the 80% of her face, they used a face from an unname girl died. Connie Culp suffered a radical face transplant, but the final result is so good because she has the hability to talk, taste food... so the doctors are pride of their work, and she thanking the doctors who made this miracle possible.
The face was from an unname girl died,

personal opinion:

This succes is amazing, on the one hand it's incredible how a man can destroy the life of his wife, I can't understand how people can do these things... they are completly crazy, but on the other hand is quite impressive how the doctors solve the problem, if you see the video you can see that the face of the woman it's a little bit strange... but, the matter is that she can do more or less a normal life... which, from my point of view, is the most important.
