The world’s first recipient of a second face transplant? A 43-year-old who says he feels 22 again.

Jérôme Hamon is the first person in the world to receive two face transplants.

And a few months after receiving his second transplant in January, he spoke to reporters and told them that he was feeling well.

“I still have moments when I’m exhausted, but overall I feel well,” he said.

This looks gross on the "face" of it, but it could improve lives of burn patients.  Hopefully this new technique will be used to help deformed or burned faces, and not for the Hollyweird types who just want a change.
