The patient must be careful not to do anything under the guise of someone who is dead. He would most certainly lose face for his crimes.

Please tell me you are joking?

Ya I was taken back by it being from a corpse face. How do you preserve the face or was it finally time for the surgery because they found a comparable face? Either way it's amazing!

So that he can see. Without natural tears your eyes will dry out.

What if it was you who had a genetic disorder? or had your face scrubbed on the asphalt?

I thought I heard of a girl in india getting this done in 03 or 04... maybe that was just a partial transplant but I could have sworn it was said to be the first full face transplant.

Ehh... Yes?
A face is huge part of the personality and how other people view that person. The particular shape and coloring of his heart... not so much.
