face transplant

A volunteer firefighter from Mississippi who suffered disfiguring burns in 2001 has been gifted with the face of a deceased bike mechanic from Brooklyn.

The woman who was mauled by a 200-pound chimpanzee revealed the face transplant she received in May.

The Connecticut woman whose face was devoured by an angry chimp two years ago successfully underwent the third face transplant in U.S. history last month, her doctors say.
