Remember that facial transplant in France? Does anyone know what muscles were replaced with surgery?

From the BBC article also substantiated by the wikipedia article:\n\nMr Michael Earley, a member of the Royal College of Surgeon's facial transplantation working party, said:\n\n"It appears that this has been a partial face transplant incorporating the nose and lips"\n\nIt looks like the lips and nose were the only muscles that "might" have been transplanted since it was not a true full facial transplant.

IIRC, he had some plastic surgery on his face, and a surgery to lengthen the bones in his legs so he was the correct height.

A facelift, technically known as a rhytidectomy (literally, surgical removal of wrinkles), is a procedure used in plastic surgery to give a more youthful appearance. It usually involves the removal of excess facial skin, with or without the tightening of underlying tissues, and the redraping the skin on the patient's face and neck.\n\nIn 2004, the facelift was the fifth most popular cosmetic surgery performed after liposuction, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation and blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery). [1]\n\nIn the traditional facelift, an incision is made in front of the ear extending up into the hairline. The incision curves around the bottom of the ear and then behind it, usually ending near the hairline on the back of the neck.\n\nAfter the skin incision is made, the skin is separated from the deeper tissues with a scalpel or scissors (also called undermining) over the cheeks, chin and neck. At this point, the deeper tissues (SMAS - fascial suspension system of the face) can be tightened with stitches, with or without removing some of the excess deeper tissues.\n\nThe skin is then pulled upwards and backwards and the amount of excess skin to be removed is determined by feel. The excess skin is then removed and the skin incisions are closed with sutures and staples.\n\nFacelifts work best in women with thin skin and good bone structure. They are best for eliminating loose skin folds in the neck and wrinkles in the cheeks. The areas not well corrected by a facelift incude the nasolabial folds and marionette lines. A facelift leaves long scars. However, the portion of the scars in front of the ear are usually inconspicuous. The scar behind the ear is hidden from casual view. Hair loss in the portions of the incision within the hair-bearing scalp can occasionally occur. In men, the sideburns can be pulled backwards and upwards, resulting in an unnatural appearance. In women, one of the telltale signs of having had a facelift is an earlobe which is pulled downwards and/or distorted. If too much skin is removed (as was common many years ago), the face can assume a pulled-back, "windswept" appearance.\n\nFacelifts are commonly combined with eye surgery (blepharoplasty) and skin resurfacing (chemical peels or lasers). They are typically performed under general anesthesia or deep twilight sleep.\n\nThe most common complication is bleeding which usually requires a return to the operating room. Less common (but graver) complications include damage to the facial nerve and necrosis of the skin flaps.\n\nContraindications to facelift surgery include severe concomitant medical problems. While not absolute contraindication, the risk of postoperative complications in increased in cigarette smokers and patients with hypertension and diabetes. Patients should abstain from taking aspirin or other blood thinners before surgery.

A friend of mine in high shool had something similar but he was older - about 23-25 when he had surgery. You may have to wait a few years until you have stopped growing to have that surgery or it may be correctible while you are still growing. My advice is to call around to orthodontists about treatment - he/she could refer you to a maxilofacial surgeon. Good Luck!

not sure but a friend of mine had it done two years ago in Louisville.\n\nShe lost a lot of weight but now she has sagging skin which is really gross and many medical problems. If you do have the surgery make sure you know all the risks involved before you change your life forever

nerves can regenerate definitely. i had major jaw surgery several years ago and have full feeling back in my face now. medicine is not a perfect science and it usually is a wait and see thing with nerves. definitely get more than one opinion with any neck or back surgery. insurance will sometimes cover it. do your homework! sorry no websites at this time but there's lots online to check out. you may even want to consider a trip to mayo clinic...awesome place! and based on your ability to pay.

There is no such thing as abrain transplant, it is impossible because nerves which are the system of travelling pulses, cannot be repaired therefore there would be no memories transplanted.\nOnce the nerve connections are broken then the person is considered dead and cannot be revived, if it was possible then people would be woken up from the dead.

wowwww. i am quite impressed by that: American dentists are the best. that is nonsense. in bkk the standart is very high of dental work, go to the dental hospital at sukh 49 or the bnh. plastic surgery is another story. a face lift here costs u only a couple of thousand usd, probably around 2 thousand. and not 50'000 but like this joker said before me. but i would not recommend a face lift here unless u really know the clinic and got recommended. dental work is okay, with more u have to be careful, but that is all over the world like this. look at hollywood, they have done their plastic surgery in the states and how awful they look like sometimes...\n\nany hey: what is that nonsense about underage prostitutes? bangkok has prostitutes yeah, so has washington dc. there are a bit more over here, but hey, nobody is forcing me to go out with one. there are many nice thai girls who have normal jobs and can be dated in the same way u r used to at home.

Yes.  It's all downhill from now on.  If you can afford a face lift that can tighten it up, but only for a few years.

On QVC they sell this little exerciser for your face.  It really works.  You work all the face and neck muscles.  I use to have a double chin, not any more.  It's toned and tightened.

I am not medically trained; I am not qualified to give\nmedical advice.\n\nHowever, twice in my life I've been afflicted with \nBell's Palsey.  One side of my face was "paralyzed" much\nlike you describe, which is why I'm writing.\n\nThis first happened 20 years ago, and the doctor told me\nthat the medical world suspected that it was caused by\na viral infection of facial nerves, and the swelling\ncaused the paralysis.  At the time, my doctor suggested\nthat it would probably get better in about 3 weeks, and\nthat's pretty much what happened.  Within a couple of\nmonths, there was no trace of the paralysis.\n\nThe second time it happened was more recent, but the\nexplanation from the doctor was consistent.  This time,\nthey gave me steroids and an anti-viral, but the doctor\nsuggested that he didn't really expect the medication to\nmake much difference.  For whatever reason, my recovery\nhas been much slower.  It took well over two months for\nmost functionality to return, but even now I have a\nslight asymmetry to my smile, I can't move my left eyebrow\nquite as much as my right, and I've pretty much lost the\nability to whistle :-)\n\nI do consciously exercise my face in hopes that the \nphysical therapy will help, although it is "self prescribed"\nand frankly I have no evidence that it has made any\ndifference.\n\nIn any case, if the doctor described your friend's \nproblem as "Bell's Palsey", then you might wish to visit\nthe web site in the reference below.  It discusses\nwhat to expect and what the current treatments are.

cosmetic surgery for sure. It has completely ruined many people like Michael Jackson and a host of others. It's actually addictive and a true rip-off.

It's totally insane but at the same time pretty cool. Its gotta be really weird seeing a dead person's face on an alive person and all but its pretty amazing that we have the technology these days to do such a transplant. Its got to be hard for both the family of the person who no longer has a face cuz their dead and stuff as well as for the person who had the face transplant. They'd both have to go through a lot of therapy in my opinon to be able to cope with it all, but if its all agreeable with all who are inclueded in the transplant i say go for it.
