Did you know that a burn victim whose face was burnt off can have a full facial transplant?

This is INCREDIBLE! Medical technology has advanced by leaps and bounds.
Here is a video of a person who was in a fire and his whole face burned. This doctor was able to remove his face and transplant a face on him....
It's kind of weird...eerie to wear a deceased person's face, but it's better than having no face at all.
I kind of grossed out watching the video....but the technology is incredible.
If any RP members know of anyone who's been burned, especially facial burns, pass this along and maybe they may be able to qualify for a facial transplant.

No Sgt Kelli Mays I did not know that a burn victim whose face was burnt off can have a full facial transplant.
When I was teenager in 1972 or so, a young man came around every so often. His nickname was pizza face because he had been severely burned in an accident and his face seemed to have pepperonis on it. His whole face was horribly disfigured.
If the bone structure is not altered which can happen in intense heat, then a face transplant could make sense. Alternately I would expect skin grafts from the burned person could be used as well. Cells will hopefully be able to be "recoded" to assist in this process.

LTC Stephen F. Watching the video kind of grossed me out...I could never be in the medical field, but having this procedure available to burned victims is a great thing.

I saw a story about a veteran that had been burned in combat that way; he said that when kids asked him what happened to his face he said that he got that way from bobbing for French fries. I was impressed that he could have a sense of humor about such a terrible wound.
