A face transplant is a medical procedure to replace all or part of a person's face using tissue from a donor.
Part of a field called "Vascularized Composite Tissue Allotransplantation" （VCA） it involves the transplantation of facial skin, the nasal structure, the nose,
the lips, the muscles of facial movement used for expression, the nerves that provide sensation, and, potentially, the bones that support the face.
The recipient of a face transplant will take life-long medications to suppress the immune system and fight off rejection.
The world's first partial face transplant on a living human was carried out in France in 2005.
The world's first full face transplant was completed in Spain in 2010.
Turkey, France, the United States and Spain （in order of total number of successful face transplants performed） are considered the leading countries in the research into the procedure.
People with faces disfigured by trauma, burns, disease, or birth defects might aesthetically benefit from the procedure.
Professor Peter Butler at the Royal Free Hospital first suggested this approach in treating people with facial disfigurement in a Lancet article in 2002.
This suggestion caused considerable debate at the time concerning the ethics of this procedure.
An alternative to a face transplant is facial reconstruction, which typically involves moving the patient's own skin from their back, buttocks, thighs, or chest to their face in a series of as many as 50 operations to regain even limited functionality,
and a face that is often likened to a mask or a living quilt.
Treatments for the plastic repair of a broken nose are first mentioned in an ancient Egypt medical text called the Edwin Smith papyrus.
The early trauma surgery textbook was named after the American Egyptologis...
