Amazing that they can do this. I mean, sure, you can put stitches in around the border without too much trouble, but how do you get the underneath of the new face to stick to the muscles/skull of the guy's head? You can't just glue it on. Do they sort of roll it on, and stitch the underside of the skin to the muscle as they roll it on?

Amazing.
