Guest Arnold_OldSchool Posted July 29, 2006 Report Posted July 29, 2006 A combination photograph shows a man before and after his operation when he received a face transplant, in Xian, Shaanzi province. The man, surnamed Li, suffered severe injuries from a bear attack in 2004. Li underwent the operation at a Xi'an hospital with help from a voluntary organization. The operation, which was successful, started on April 13 and lasted 13 hours, the hospital said. Li will continue his restoration operation after returning from home. It is the first successful face transplant operation in China, China Daily reported. The picture on the left is taken on April 13, 2006 and the picture on the right is taken on July 28, 2006.

Giuseppe Zangara Posted July 29, 2006 Report Posted July 29, 2006 At least he was able to smile about it.
Skywarp! Posted July 29, 2006 Report Posted July 29, 2006 I probably shouldn't have read this thread two weeks before I vacation in bear-infested Yosemite.
Guest DRH 502 Posted July 29, 2006 Report Posted July 29, 2006 I resisted clicking this all morning for fear I would regret doing so...and I was right.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 I've been wanting a full skin transplant although Id settle for a scalp transplant. This soured me somewhat on that idea.
Vyce Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 That's barely an improvement. I think that if I were to ever have my face eaten by bears, I'd just wear a lucha mask instead. At least then, the Hispanic kids in my neighborhood would think I'm cool.
Guest Felonies! Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 I actually think he looked better on the left. No lie. http://health.discovery.com/centers/plasti...ry/face10_v.jpg I'm not posting that one. You're on your own this time.
