Patrick Hardison’s Face Transplant: One Year Later

[@2HRTS1LOVE]

It wasn't just the face, that's the donor's hair, ears, everything. Pat was totally burned bald, both ears gone, no eyelids. Look up his before pic, the transformation is miraculous.

[@seriousaleks8752]

What happened to the guy who donated his face ? Did he donate after death or did he willingly donate his face while still using it?

[@blacklotus3205]

Serious Aleks after death. He was a biker and died in an accident, and his wife donated his face.

That's why I'm a full organ donor. No sense in my organs rotting in the grave with me when they can save lives and the wellness of others after I'm gone. Please think of others. Please don't be selfish. Please be an organ donor.

you can find the story of the donor, he was an amazing person. His eyes are similar, nose and mouth too. Patrick's face is still similar to the donor's face. The donor's face was from a young man, in his twenties and his mother met the Patrick. She cried of course, it still resembled her son's face. I hope no one forgets to thank him for helping this man, both should be commended.

Wow, Dr. Rodriguez is brilliant, a genius! Imagine that! The first complete face transplant in the world! That is truly a miraculous operation. Just think of how complicated it must be to reattach all of the blood vessals and nerves. It's amazing how the face has gotten color and how its gotten progressively tighter and hair grew back on the scalp. The only think that still looks a little off are his eyelids, but that will probably get better too.

The eyes are so jarring for me. I felt the same with the most recent face transplant story too. They say the eyes are the window to the soul, but I feel the donor’s presence still too. Not in a bad or disrespectful way, it’s actually very precious. I can’t even fathom the incredible emotional strength everyone involved must have. Much respect for them all ✌🏼♥️

He looks real good when u consider all he’s been through- a few days of overgrowth of beard stubble like when a guy needs a shave would add a nice natural touch to frame his face.

[@bradhurst6834]

Yeah he looks like he has some sort of genetic problem or a deformity, that's what most people probably think when they see him on the street. Before he looked like something from a horror movie so it is an incredible improvement.

Beautiful. I am donating my whole body once I’m gone I have no need for it and look how it can live on! My heart can beat again in someone else my kidneys liver lungs can all have purpose again . My skin eyes etc can all go to people who need them. What use to they have after death if you do not donate?. Make sure if you are willing to donate your organs or body to help others live , You let family know of your wishes make a will or at least express what you want. Look at the good it can do🙂
