Category Health | Monday, July 26th, 2010

A Spanish man who underwent the world’s first full face transplant appeared before TV cameras Monday for the first time as he was discharged from hospital in Barcelona to start a new life with his transformed look.

The 31-year-old, identified only as Oscar, appeared in public for the first time in a news conference at the Vall d’Hebron Hospital in Barcelona, Spain, Monday, July 26, 2010 to thank the family of the donor and a team of doctors that gave him a new face in March at Vall d’Hebron University Hospital, Barcelona.

Disfigured Oscar
Oscar, who is reportedly a farmer, was disfigured in a gunshot accident five years ago. As a result of the trauma, his face was totally destroyed, which required his entire facial skin and muscles, including nose and lips, to be replaced.
