A 37-year-old Virginia man severely disfigured by a 1997 gun accident has received the most extensive full-face transplant in medical history, according to University of Maryland Medical Center surgeons.
Hospital officials report that Richard Lee Norris, of Hillsville, Va., is recovering well after an amazing, medically unprecedented 36-hour surgery that not only gave him a new facefrom the hairline to the neck--but also teeth, a tongue, and upper and lower jaws. (See before/after photo above, right.)
A week after the full-face operation, Norris improvement has exceeded his doctors expectations. He can open and close his mouth and is already brushing his new teeth and shaving the whiskers growing on the transplanted face. Hes miraculously regained his sense of smell, which hed lost after the accident.
