Yes, I know the images to your left are not what you see everyday but get used to it is all I can say. Face transplants are set to become common and they can only benefit mankind.

Doctors say that having a face transplant could be as common as having a liver or kidney transplant.

As these photographs reveal, doctors can now make wonderful progress on people who have unfortunately been disfigured by severe disease, accident or any other tragic circumstance such as animal attacks.

The surgery is long and painful but the improvements are quite astonishing when you look at the difference between the top and bottom photographs and the lower half of the face.
