Face Transplant

I read an article on CNN.com about a woman in the United States who had a face transplant. It was the first face transplant in the U.S. and the fourth in the world. The woman had suffered gunshot wounds to the face and had no nose, right eye or upper jaw. She recieved a nose, lower eyelids, upper lip, skin, muscles, bone, hard palate, arteries, veins and nerves. I could not believe this story when I read it. Face transplants have been in movies for years but I didn't think it could be done in real life. This technology will be very helpful in the future to help patients with facial trauma.
