Man gets new face in most extensive face transplant ever.

IIRC even after a facial transplant you never look exactly like the donor of the original face, due to the fact the bone structure of your face is different. So it's not like if a loved one dies and someone has their face transplated onto them that you'll see an exact copy of them, unless they also had the same shaped skull.

He had most of his jaw and nose replaced too, he might be closer to what the donor looked like than you'd think.
"Hey! Joe! Long time no see, You got a new haircut? That's cool."
. . .
"Wait, you're telling me you're not Joe? You're just wearing... Joe's... [i]face[/i]?"
. . .
"And the real Joe is... dead? Joe, It's a bit late for April Fool's, you know that, right?"
...
"Uh-huh..."
...
"Haha, Alright, whatever you say Joe. Later bro."
this could be annoying if the old donor was a joker

I'm amazed he looks so good, my god. This is one of those things that I thought sounded possible, but wondered if it could actually work. Now I know it [I]can[/I] work.

Imo this is probably the biggest problem with medical science, the human body actively rejecting treatments and making everything worse. It's a real shame.
This is amazing. Hoping he will get a swift recovery. The guy that donated his face and 5 other organs is a goddamn hero.
Anyone else remember a video clip circulating the web of a man that literally blew his face off with a shotgun or something? I think he put the barrel below his chin aiming upwards, but tilted his head too far back. Looked like his face was split in two. The video showed he was still concious and everything. I wonder if it's the same guy.
The before picture of this guy DOES look like it was an under the chin suicide attempt 'gun accident'. However he has contributed to society by taking part in this, now war veterans can benefit.
Medical Science....amazing.
I'm the face donor.

FTFY, ghostly one.
I'm not dead, I just wasn't using my face very often so I let him borrow it.
