Take a look at me now! Woman who had a FACE transplant after she was disfigured by a huge facial tumour reveals how she looks 3 years later


The Polish woman, known only as Joanna, had 80 per cent of the skin on her face transplanted in a 23-hour operation in 2013 after neurofibromatosis left her with huge benign tumours (right). 


She has appeared at a press conference (left) almost three years after the transplant, alongside her surgeon Dr Adam Maciejewski. The facial tumour will not recur because the skin on her new face is from different genes, according to genetics experts.
