This is pretty weird, well, it seems like it all went well hm. I know the circumstances are different, but would YOU get a face transplant if it were a minor procedure? Nah, not me, lol. That's weird to think about, "Oh yea, got my summer face, got my winter face hehe" lol

Way too much surgery with way too many risks to ever be a minor procedure. I'm glad it went well for this woman, and I'm glad she's dealing with the emotional aspects of the change well. I don't know if I would be able to handle looking in the mirror and seeing a dead person's face.
