Doctors: Face transplant was successful

Doctors said that the first partial face transplant was a success a year after the operation. The woman is gaining better control over her face a year after doctors transplanted the lips, nose, and chin of a brain-dead woman onto her. Her immune system almost rejected the transplanted parts of her face two times. The doctors have "confirmed the anatomical and functional success of this first partial face transplant." They also said "Progress, in terms of sensitivity as much as mobility, is being noted month after month." The woman initially had trouble speaking. Recently, a London hospitol's plan was approved to carry out the first ever full face transplant. I found this news to be very fascinating and am interested to see how the full face transplant turns out.
