Face transplant

A face transplant is a procedure that involves replacing someone's entire face with a dead donor's face. People with faces disfigured by severe burns, cancer or by accident can benefit from the procedure. US scientists have already carried out face transplants on dead bodies donated for medical research. They are now awaiting approval to do the same on living people with disfigurements. [1]
