Face Transplant Patient Has Complete Feeling

Isabelle Dinoire, the French woman who underwent the world's first face transplant after she was attacked by a dog, says she now has complete feeling in her face.

Isabelle Dinoire, 38, also told the newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche that the hardest part of her recovery appears to be getting to know herself again. When asked if she has accepted her new face, she responded: "It's too difficult to explain." (Washington Post)
