Connie Culp was shot in the face by her husband five years ago. She lost her nose and needed a trach tube to eat and breathe. Now she has a nose again, thanks to a donor. I suspect 10/20 years ago I might have though research into face transplants was cosmetic/frivolous. This definitely proves otherwise. It's a very beautiful thing, if not in the traditional sense. pics are before/after and way back when....
