OK, what I'm about to link to, I feel I have to warn about because some are more sensitive than other and the images might not go down too well.

Here's the intro to the story

"CLEVELAND -- 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 dead woman.

Connie Culp stepped forward Tuesday to show off the results of the nation's first face transplant, and her new look was a far cry from the puckered, noseless sight that made children run away in horror."



It's a remarkable story.

They did a great job. I think her appearance will continue to improve as additional work is done but more importantly, I'm really glad she's getting back to a more normal life.
