French Doctors Call Partial Face Transplant a Success

Isabelle Dinoire just isn't herself these days; at least she doesn't look like herself. After being severely disfigured by her pet labrador in May of 2005, Dinoire received the lips, chin, and nose of a brain-dead woman taken off of life support. The French doctors working with Dinoire have stated that the first partial face transplant is a success. Dinoire has gained increasing levels of facial sensitivity and mobility each month after the surgery a year ago. Dinoire said she has had trouble speaking, but now is able to be understood whenever she speaks. Doctors in Great Britain as well as the US are working towards a successful full face transplant. Dinoire is planning on returning to work soon, and has gotten a new dog, Max. Apparently, Isabelle Dinoire has a new outlook on life ;)
