latest face transplant

This is a recent news article which basically talks about a person getting a face transplant. Here they report the third face transplant to be ever carried out in the world but a complete face transplant is yet to be carried out though plans are underway to carry out such a transplant in October. I think it’s really amazing that if a person is dissatisfied with his appearance, in the future he could actually get Angelina Jolie’s lips and Brad Pitts face. Of course he would have to deal with acute immobility for a while. At present though the operation is only carried out for serious disfigurements and in the most recent case for a genetic defect.
