Ringkasan :
In 2008 Connie Culp became the fi rst American woman to undergo a face transplant, receiving the mouth, nose, and cheeks of a dead woman. Th e victim of a shotgun blast fi red by her husband, Culp had been severely disfi gured, missing both her nose and the roof of her mouth. After the surgery, she could talk, smile, and smell again, in a dramatic transformation of both her appearance and her quality of life.
