Face transplant patient 'recovering well'
3rd Dec 2005, 12:26 GMT
A French woman, who has received the world's first partial face transplant, has thanked surgeons and is in good health following the pioneering operation. "The patient saw her face on Monday morning and thanked us," Professor Bernard Devauchelle said. Professor Jean-Michel Dubernard says the woman is "doing well, physically, immunologically and psychologically". The 38-year-old woman, whose name remains a secret, lost both lips and her nose after she was mauled by her dog in May.
