Why is she wearing that thing around her neck? Maybe it hides the zipper.
And what if her body rejects the face?

She has a nose now Fris, she's proud! Success is subjective though.

i think i would rather embrace the before face and use it for shits and grins rather than the new face, even tho the nose work is stellar.

What if a friend of the dead woman (who doesn't know she's dead yet) sees this woman, calls out the dead woman's name and says "I
haven't seen you in awhile, what have you been up to lately?" |

I still say this is just amazing.
I still wonder what the new face looked like on the old "owner" (is that what you'd say? heh). |

How exactly is a face transplant done? Do they take the whole structure of the doner face, like the bones and everything and just move it on over to the donee?
Or do they just take the skin and muscles and soft tissue?
It would be very weird to wake up and see someone else's face attached to your body. That lady's hairline is even different. |
