Five years ago, a shotgun blast left a ghastly hole where the middle of her face had been. Five months ago, she received a new face from a deceased woman. Connie Culp stepped forward Tuesday to show off the results of the nation's first face transplant. Absolutely amazing, kudos to the doctors for their incredible work.

  • when I heard about this on the radio, i expected much worse. I am glad to see that the transplant is not only distinguishable as a face, but functional. I expect that the followup surgeries will improve the cosmetic and speech aspects even more. Good to see some good news every once in a while. Kudos to the doctors.

  • im so proud of her

  • THis woman is kickass for not giving up. The doctors did a good job and the future surgeries are really going to make it look even better.

  • Very sad what happened to her.. Glad to see medial tech moving along at such a fast rate...

    Imagine something like this in the 1800's...

  • uhhh

  • i'm glad she's confident enough to go into public.

  • Why even the husband did this? now he says to reporters that she looks beautiful with the new face. what was the story?

  • Yes. I can smell you from here, douchebag!!

  • That's funny but, you do know that it'll take a few years for it to look a little better.
