In this December 2010 handout image received yesterday courtesy of Parkland Health and Hospital System of Dallas Texas, shows Dallas Wiens. Wiens, 25, can look forward to a new life with a donated face attached last week by a 30-strong team at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, in Boston, Massachusetts, which said it was “the first full face transplant” performed in the country. Although plastic surgeons could not restore Wiens’s sight, he is otherwise on the road to recovery and already chatting, the lead doctor, Bohdan Pomahac, told a press conference. Wiens was horrifically injured in November 2008 by an electric shock while working as a cherry picker.
