Summary
This study tested facial transplantation in 3 people with severe facial damage from accidents. The goal was to improve their quality of life and facial function. Participants received a donor face and were followed to see how well they recovered and adapted. Because lifelong anti-rejection medication is needed, this is a disease control approach, not a cure.
