Lady got shot in the face with a shotgun and lived but lost a lot of her face. She got the first face transplant five years ago. This is how she is today...

Before the injury



After on left and face implant 5 yrs later on right



I like her one statement;

Quote :

"“When somebody has a disfigurement and don’t look as pretty as you do, don’t judge them, because you never know what happened to them,” she said. “Don’t judge people who don’t look the same as you do. Because you never know. One day it might be all taken away.”"

5/6/2009 7:03:06 PM

5/6/2009 7:05:21 PM

5/6/2009 7:06:34 PM

I had wondered what it looked like...When it was first done, they didn't show any pictures.

5/6/2009 7:09:41 PM

her husband must have been a terrible shot.

shot her, turned the gun on himself.

he went to prison, and she got a new face.

What if it were YOU hanging up on this wall

If it were YOU in that sandwich, you wouldn't be laughing at all!

^^I saw it this morning while I was trying to eat breakfast.

^I don't think most people would judge someone who was disfigured. They'd probably have a strong adverse reaction and then try to make up for being rude (or just be an asshole).

5/6/2009 11:35:38 PM

In the article she recalls some kid telling his mommy he saw a monster (her).

I wonder how she feels licking the lips of a dead person....that would weird me out however it would not stop me from getting one should I ever need it.

5/7/2009 1:33:55 AM

Reminds me of that lady Jim Varney would dress up as in some of the Ernest movies.

5/7/2009 1:35:21 AM

She looks like Jennifer Coolidge.

5/7/2009 1:38:26 AM

5/7/2009 1:58:34 AM

if you are going to post some crap you think is news, IT NEEDS TO BE FACTUALLY CORRECT.


0/10 journalism skills. you cant even copy/paste?

5/7/2009 2:12:05 AM

OH NO SOMEONE TYPED 5 YEARS INSTEAD OF 5 MONTHS. CALL THE COPS SHE INCORRECTLY CITED INFORMATION.

seriously, quit being a faggot ass bitch.

5/7/2009 2:14:13 AM

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

5/7/2009 2:15:34 AM

5/7/2009 2:16:55 AM

You must be hard up for some TWW TUFF if you're pointing out petty mistakes....

5/7/2009 2:18:07 AM

hahahahahahahahaha

5/7/2009 2:19:15 AM

I would like to see the donor's place.

I know most often they don't reveal this information, but internet tabloid, PLEASE COME THROUGH.

5/7/2009 12:14:57 PM

the 2 years later picture makes her look like a dead person after they've been preserved or whatever for viewing. really creepy.

5/7/2009 12:21:08 PM

that shits unfortunate



but damn, just wear a plate helmet

[Edited on May 7, 2009 at 12:23 PM. Reason : f]

5/7/2009 12:23:29 PM

i think that is supposed to say 2 months not years but who knows

this thread is a mess for factual info

5/7/2009 12:28:35 PM

haha the 2 years is a projection of what she will look like in....2 years.

The only mistake I made was in the first sentence, should be 5 months instead of years. Her injury happened five years ago, she had to live with that face until last December when she got the transplant.

WOO WOO
