  • Wow that is incredible the way she looks at life and is just thankful and so forgiving and everything. She really has a lot of grace flowing in her life. I think she looks beautiful......And all of you jackasses with the negative horrible comments. You are so boring.

  • WOMAN YOU ARE AMAZING!! and to the gal who kept up her moral GOD BLESS YOU IN ALL WAYS!

  • She actually looks like an Argentinian singer who died in 2009 Mercedes Sosa.

  • @WarWolfKrime

    Actually you would wish to have a new face - no matter how it looks - after someone blasts away your face with a shotgun.

  • beautiful in he hear? I think she looks like a cartoon.

  • Comment removed

  • My profesor was speaking about this case, and he showed the class news articles about this and i was shocked, i feel sad for her but i know that in the future her husband will pay for that, 7 years in prison is nothing compared to the life that he changed forever. Keep it up Connie!!

  • i just found out that her husband, the man who show her in the face, only got a 7 year prison sentence. man, he should've got something way worse. life's a bitch.

  • @WarWolfKrime What the fuck is your problem? She was shot in the face and hurt! How do you even have the heart to call her an "ugly bitch" She is more beautiful than you'll ever be inside and out! Stupid fucker, karma is a bitch.

  • @WarWolfKrime I hope someone shoots you in the face and we all laugh at you!

  • You go connie! We are all behind you in your recovery!

  • wii character.. sorry lol

  • im not being pessimist but i rather be dead than the way that she was and is after 30 surgeries but that is my opinion but thank god she is alive

  • Thank God She's Still Alive !!! :-)

  • She looks terrible. But what does that matter? Who cares if she looks terrible? At least she HAS a face now.

  • She is brave and amazing - for the dumb,sick and careless comments from several of you, be careful because things have away of catching up with you and Just think if this had happened to someone you love

  • connie culp is an amazing human being, probably the strongest woman in the world. wish you all the happiness you deserve connie. you are a hero. x

  • i love her.

  • Very disappointing comments. Someday these very negative comments will come back to haunt you.

    Best wishes to Connie Culp.

  • Connie Culp for president!

  • I know it's mean but it's also true, before the surgery she looked horrible, and after the surgery she looks horrible. I wonder if she was happy with the results

  • @aabron4123 You are what is commonly considered as a "throw away".

  • @PositiveLastAction So you think it looks good?  Really?

  • @aabron4123 yes...I do. Actually, I think she looks terrific...she has a new face...much of the swelling has gone down after this press release...I am happy for her. It really is YOU that looks bad pal....you are truly a waste case.

  • OK what the hell people. Some of yall's comments are just rude and uncalled for, if any of yall had ever experience such a tragedy like she did, you wouldn't be able to stomach the look of your own faces, let alone the personality that matches it. So some of yall rude ass people need to get a fucking life and or grow up.

  • wow there's some serious sickness in these comments. Explains why our country is what it is today!

  • i bet she gives a great blow job!

  • She's got more cheek than "Bugs Bunny" lol

  • Yo im from stuebenville ohio and i know connie culp and i know her children very well i actually own a restraunt a few blocks away from where she was shot originally which is the ok corall and her and her children are loset drugies.

  • It's tough.

  • When I saw it at first time I thought it was a humanoid laboratory creature loose...

    and I felt chills

  • The ignorant people who live amongst us! I read some of these remarks and wonder if a you were raised by voltures or people. Obviously, your parents should not have procreated because they suck at raising kids. People act like they are bullet proof.

  • why do they guide her to the podium? It's not like her legs are broken or that she's blind -.-

  • @Virtualpixel She's wearing fake eyeballs.

  • @micwawaw You could be more subtle.

  • @Virtualpixel she was left with just a small amount of vision and from the way she moves I would imagine looking down for power chords, etc. would be difficult. No one wants her to trip and fall and injure herself.

  • @Virtualpixel she is in fact blind. those r fake eyes. she will never see again dipshit

  • @Virtualpixel

    You idiot... -.- She's blind...

  • Medical science has come so far. Its so incredible. I wish Connie a continuation of improvement!!!

  • @xiAresx listen to what she says from 4:00 to 4:05 heartless cunt

  • @BrynSheen she needs to get her ugly ass in the kitchen and stay there

  • @xiAresx i suggest you find more productive ways to utilise the breath in your lungs (you breathe air in order to do all activities including thinking and typing btw, before you come back with some childish response). whether you are joking, baiting for responses, or genuinely believe this (i think probably not).. what do you actually get from that? it cant achieve anything good, and it's not funny because it is aimed at a real person through a forum that they are likely to access. grow up ffs

  • @xiAresx thats what happens when pricks get ahold of a gun.

  • @xiAresx I hope someone blows your fucking face off.

  • @xiAresx u r sick

  • @xiAresx your kidding me right cause i want to beat the living shit out of people like you...

  • she looks great now check her out thats when it was new thats why its fat but really check it out now because she looks so damn pretty!

  • Bargon wanchi cox paa, Solo!

    HOO HOO HOOOO

  • must be really really expensive :S she was really reallylucky

  • i can't even begin to think how much all these operations will cost. but still, good for her.

  • It actually looks very good.

  • bravest woman ever.

  • He's a dick.

  • I really pity her!!!

  • Wow. Reading the description of this video... I can't believe they managed to do that. An actual face transplant. Wow.

    Poor Connie - she's been through so much and I seriously admire her courage and strength. Had that happened to me I don't think I would've been able to carry on. She looks amazing now - beautiful.

    Also, I know its none of my business but I hope she doesn't go back to her husband for her own safety...

  • She's fucking blind. Personally if I were made blind, at 47, that'd be game over. Why bother with all the anti-rejection drugs if you can't even see. Tragic.

  • She looks so beautiful.

  • The true face of courace. A modern miracle. But hey please Connie dump the loser who shot u. Good luck for your bright future.

  • I knew someone who blew their nose with machine gun powder

    And they didn't look this bad

  • who are we to say what looks bad or not?? she was fucking SHOT IN THE GOD DAMNED FACE. she's lucky to have the face she has. hell, she was lucky to survive. and also, i think she looks beautiful. the swelling is just from the steriods. but if you look past the swelling and scars, she's really beautiful. most of you disappoint me.

  • @Nomorechaos2 People are just hateful. They forget that they can have a car wreck and have the same thing happen to them in a blink of an eye.

  • @micwawaw Well who drives cars anymore? I certainly don't.

  • @Nomorechaos2

    It isn't just steroids... the Doctors have included a lot of extra skin so there is no stretching or pressure on the stiches. When it is all healed up they can then do more operatrions to tighten her face up and she will lose the 'fat chin' look.

    The results are already amazing - look at the 'before' pictures... the whole of the centre of her face was destroyed, no nose, upper jaw, cheekbones...

  • @Nomorechaos2 Even if she still looked as she did before the transplant - she is a beautiful and very brave person. Must have been a hard journey for her - and not one many of us would probably have survived - I think of myself as a strong person but don't think I would have pulled through that the way she did.

  • @Nomorechaos2 Too many people are horrible, and people like that which need a serious karma butt kicking.

  • @Nomorechaos2

    i wouldnt say she's beautiful

  • @krugger911 She is beautiful in he hear. but your to damn blind to see it.

  • I am not trying to sound mean, but did she get a fat persons face?

  • @realblkluv Steroids bitch. 

  • @realblkluv I'm pretty sure that is swelling, not fat.

  • @realblkluv the surgeons allowed for extra flesh so the stitches wouldn't pull

  • @evg129 Why do you think so?

  • ive seen her on that television show ''Bo Selecta''before, she's one of the characters lol

  • You rock it Connie! Wishing only the best for you and your continued recovery.

  • she seems like a "BLOB" mdr

  • woaa ;( 

  • congrats?...

  • @un4m3d4 No, he's not. He's in jail. He tried to kill himself after he shot her, but failed. Now he's got a 7-year sentence. 7 years. Nothing for such a *censored*...

    I hope his life will be longer than he wishes for and very, very painful.

  • I feel sorry for her that she got such a fked up husband and after what he has done to her, she still loves him enough to go bk to him.

  • What you see around her neck in this videio is whelling - that will (if it goes by the plan) decrease over two years.

  • Good luck Connie

  • she has the greatest selfless love and kindness in her heart to completely refuse the truth that her husband harm her.

    *I used refuse rather than deny because denial means that she cannot accept the truth.

  • Beautiful Face. Beautiful spirit. Beautiful person.

  • @JayHoopero Beautiful face? Where? She might look better than she did when she was shot but she still looks like a train hit her or something. If I were her, and knowing how I looked before I would fucking kill myself.

  • one big brave woman,,,,wish u the best in ur future life

  • same here

  • I am so sorry for her, what a monster her husband was. All the best for her, I hope she has a long happy life

  • usually i'm an asshole but i wish nothing but the best for Connie Culp, and in a just world her husband would be in jail for life, or worse, NOT serving a 7 year term.

  • For some people, for many people, being alive isn't all that

    I couldn't look at this in the mirror for 30-40 years, that's all I'm sayin

    Quality of life means something to me

    Her face is not the symbol of quality

  • If that is how you feel, be thankful you are not Connie. She's alive and she can function. It is not as if she had any choice in the matter. If you are going to focus on asthetics alone I feel your comment is not the symbol of quality.

  • but if she has to presumably take immunosuppressant drugs for the rest of her life will this not make her more susceptible to infectious diseases later in her life, as the immune system naturally weakens with age...?!?! can one take immunosuppressant drugs indefinitely?!?

  • htye are not good for your health, that is for sure. And persons who had a transplant, face or organ, will always be nder controll of the hospital, since the medicine do have a tremendous effect on other organs etc. the thing is, are you willing to take the risks of the medication in order to have a more normal life.. that is something you hav to take into acount. So yes she probably wont live to become 80, but in my opinion it is definatly worth it..

  • He's in prison.

  • I'm very much stuck at this frame of mind; "Rotting in hell" doesn't even BEGIN to express my most profound wish for her husband.

  • click "more info" on the right. they replaced her jaw and her transplanted nose looks normal. she could breath and smell through the nose almost immediately. "archives of plastic surgery" this month updates that blood vessels and transplanted tissue have all integrated with her own and she has more expression and speaks more clearly. that vid was only 6 months after the transplant and tissue rejection was possible. in a few years with more surgery, who knows?

  • When I see her face

    "Her surgery was a success" is not the first thing that comes to mind

  • I disagree entirely. This is a success. Her quality of life has improved ten fold. Can you even imagine what she went through? Truly? This is incredible. Our technology at this point in history is astonishing.

  • Astonishing is a word for it alright

  • @toyotas2006 shes alive isn't she?

  • It does still look bad, but it's still better than it was before. That's something, at least.

  • omg i feel so bad 4 her the face transplant helped but it still looks bad =[

  • @Apink420 It will get a bit better.

    Of course she won't be a top model, but it will get a little more back to normal. Her coordination will improve, and the massive swelling will decrease, too. And the most important thing is: she can breathe and eat normally now.

    Probably some more surgeries will follow. A good example is the woman with the first transplanted face, Isabelle Denoire. Apart from the scars she looks rather normal now. Fingers crossed for Connie...

  • her face actually get seven more normal after her next surgery, and i can't believe she's gonna go back to her husband...

  • She's not going back to him anymore. Her daughter asked her "what kind of example would you be setting for me if you went back to the man who shot you?", and that convinced her not to go back.

  • There are diffeing stories, as to if Connie lost sight in both eyes, or just one? Can someone please tell me? I know she and Charla Nash will be able to be great helpers to one another, the the guy who did this to Connie should be shot it the face!!! The evil ********

  • wonderful surgerist work

    whao

  • She really is an inspiration to all. She has her head held high and is optimisitc. God bless her.

  • WTH? She`s going back to her husband after that?! Sorry but she is a fool.

  • i can't believe she still wants to be with her husband after this. my mother is the same way she just won't give up on her asshole husband.

  • I feel sorry for Connie Culp she admitted that she was beaten and she want to go back to her husband and think it was just an accident that she claimed in the interview. Whatever you do Connie Culp don't go back to your husband we care about your safety.

  • @CanadaTheamazing, i agree to this.

    suicide attempt, worst idea in the world.

    die natural is what human were born for.

  • omg that stinks for her! But I'm so happy for her that she got a new face, thats amazing :)

  • The jowls will be reduced, the doctors had to give her 2 sets of glands which explains why her face is so bottom heavy, but future surgeries are going to normalize it.

  • holy fuck! how can a bullet do that?

  • she shot in the face with a shotgun from 8 feet apparently. my guess is it was with birdshot round.

  • Here's problem. human clone or stem cell research can't be done. This is way to confusing....

  • =( i feel so bad for her why the doctors never do anything to the excess skin..now she look like droopy dog...

  • 'Connie plans on waiting on her husband when he gets out of prison.'

    I would be waiting too if i was her. No matter how long it would take to get my hands on this dirty little bastard! Seven years is a lot of time to make plans...

  • why couldnt they do something about those JOWLS ?

  • with what a fuckin bazooka?

  • with a shotgun. that fu*kin bastard.

  • Holy crap what happened to her?

  • her husband shot her in the face.

  • Four years ago, the Hopedale, Ohio, resident was shot in the face by her husband.

  • Read the description

  • okk

  • "Thomas Culp of Harrison County, Ohio was sentenced after pleading no contest to shooting his common law wife, Connie in the face--then turning the gun on himself. Culp will spend seven years behind bars for attempted murder.

    However, Connie says she's forgiven him and will be waiting when he gets out of prison. Thomas, meanwhile, says he's never stopped thinking about the night he shot her"

  • She cannot get back toghether with that monster, he tried to kill her and almost ruined er life

  • who cares? she has a nose again and she looks like a human. moreover, they're going to make her some plastic operations later.

  • The information at the side says her husband shot her and put her through this hellish experience and... SHE'S TAKING HIM BACK?!

  • such great news for her.

  • Gosh this woman is SO dignified and graceful, to face the world with your head held high and to be able to laugh is just incredible. She really is an inspiration to humanity.

    The good news is that not only will her excess skin be romoved, but the nerves between her skin and face will begin to reinstate themselves and this will in turn give her better and more antural facial expression. She is going to be OK and i'm just keeping her in my prayers day and night.

    God Bless you, Connie Culp.

  • FUCK you. this woman went through alot.. she may not be a fucking model but she got her face back and survived everything it took to get her face back. if u got ur face blown off, and u got a face transplant, u wouldnt look so good either, ppl will be calling u the human blob.. would u like that? no. show this inspirational woman some damn respect and leave her alone!

  • Comment removed

  • @rickymajor i agree

  • @rickymajor

    If she did get HER face back, that would be one thing

    She got SOMEBODY ELSE'S face back

    Somebody needs to hem her face!

  • i think in the near future with new breakthroughs she might be able to "redo" or improve her current face surgery. God Bless her.......

  • You're so great, Connie! You're just fantastic! Thank you for your optimism and your victories! I'm sure you inspire many people and help them win. You must be very strong. God bless you!

  • easter island head

  • Thats so mean. How can you be so cruel?

  • wow. no words can describe how sorry i feel for this woman. and i don't know if i could stand looking in the mirror everyday and seeing a stranger standing there. thats what i find most disturbing. it's stupid, i know. someone being shot by their husband is far worse. but god.....

  • God will help her a lot!!!!im praying for her, those who want her to get better should do the same thing! takes a whole lot of nerve to keep struggling like this.

    God bless you Connie Culp!!!!!

  • you all are acting like they had a million options for a face! i'm sure the donor was a beautiful woman.. certainly on the inside for allowing doctors to peel off her face. Connie's muscles and nerves will continually get stronger and you're acting like she has absolutely no hope left. It's a miracle that doctors were able to help her so much. Who knew your could have a face transplant?! It's remarkable!

  • She looks like the Numa Numa Guy!

  • Amazing character

    I couldnt live like that

    Shes amazingly brave

  • Amazing that she can still laugh and be so light about it all. Amazing bravery. And to those commenting about her face, as the nerves connect and the muscles grow stronger, the docs will shape the face. And remember she is still severely swollen, and has a lot of water retention in the transplanted skin,

  • If i was in a similar situation, i would rather the doctors give me a lethal injection, and die peace fully, if the choice was avalible.

  • Shot her husband! If he like stay like this.

  • What brilliant spirit and character. Those who would post cruel thoughts show they have no capacity to survive as she has let alone to be forgiving towards the man who shot her in the face with a shotgun. Instead of letting him take her life and spirit she has helped our entire world by agreeing to such grueling and difficult surgery. I am a 6'6", 250, healthy ,male and don't know if I have the guts this little unassuming woman has to deal so admirably with the hand life has dealt her. Bravo

  • ...& the USA still believes its citizens have the right to bear arms? God Bless America. What sort of gun would Jesus shoot?

  • why would she want to look worse?

  • At first I was like; before. Then I was like; my husband shot my in the face. Now I'm like; 9_#'

  • To the uneducated and rude posters below: I find your comments offensive. I wish there was some way to enlighten you guys but it is your problem and something you must take upon yourself to change.

    Connie is an inspiration for bravery and perseverance.

  • This reminds me of Autobiography of a Face. You're amazing, Connie. :) Don't let any morons who only see things skin-deep get you down.

  • What if this happened to you? Are you so shallow that you can't even spare a second to think about it and put yourself in someone else's shoes? People like you disgust me.

  • What are you, a stalker? You moron, you don't know what I look like. If you're going to insult me, do it intelligently. And how can you call Euquila uneducated? You really need to take a good hard look at yourself. Those in glass houses should not cast stones.

  • it's new science, my friend. we have to start somewhere.

    for example, the first computer filled a room and didn't work as well as the one you're typing on now - it's a learning process.

  • its not like could just choose to give her a good face you idiot

    its not like its a simple procedure
