No signs of rejection...
22 year old Joe DiMeo survived a car accident but his face and hands were severely burned. Doctors at NYU Langone Health in New York successfully performed a face and double hand transplant in August 2020 and so far there are no signs of rejection.The surgery lasted more than 20 hours and he must remain on medicine for life for his body to avoid rejecting the transplants.
