News: Nation's First Face Transplant Recipient Goes Public

Connie Culp's ex-husband reportedly shot her in the face in 2004, leaving the 46-year-old disfigured. Yesterday the Ohio-native revealed her face, post-transplant, for all the world to see. It is the first face transplant made in the U.S. She endured 30 operations and will probably be subject to more in the future. The face was donated, although information on the donor has not been made publicly available.
