Man has a new face - Level 3



A volunteer firefighter from Mississippi who suffered extensive facial burns now has a new face. Patrick Hardison underwent the facial transplant in August, which also restored his eyelids, eyebrows, ears and hair. Surgeons spent 26 hours completing the operation, working in two teams - one preparing the donor and the other the recipient. “The fact that we were able to perform this and the patient was able to come out of the operating room safely is a very important historic event.” Mr. Hardison was injured in a house fire as he attempted to rescue a woman he believed was trapped in the blaze. He suffered third degree burns of his entire face and scalp. “The amount of tissue that was transplanted in Patrick’s face had not been transplanted before. We feel as a team, as a group, that it’s absolutely essential to remove all pf the scars and get down to healthy tissue in order for a patient to be normal, and being normal is defined by normal function and normal appearance.” Surgeons slit.
