Dallas Wiens Full Face Transplant

THE first man in the US to have a full face transplant says feeling his daughter's kisses on his face was the real miracle. Dallas Wiens, 26, from Fort Worth, Texas, was able to show his three-year-old girl, Scarlette, his new face last week. Today he showed his face to the rest of the world.
Mr Wiens was left horribly burned by a high-voltage electrical line more than two years ago. He lost all his facial features, except for a small portion of his chin, as well as his eyesight.
The difference in Mr Wiens' "before" and "after" appearance was breathtaking.
The man who appeared at the press conference at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital, where the face transplant was performed, had a full set of features, along with hair, including a goatee and moustache. His mouth drooped slightly on one side, and he spoke with a slur, but he could be easily understood.
