'Man with three faces' speaks after 2nd face-transplant
French man Jerome Hamon, now also known as 'Man with Three Faces' is the first person world-wide to undergo a second face transplant surgery.
The 43-year-old, presenting a rare genetic disease which has been distorting his face, already underwent face transplant surgery in 2010.
But after being treated for a cold in 2015 with an antibiotic incompatible with his treatment, he started showing signs of transplant rejections.
He was rushed into Parisian hospital Georges Pompidou in 2017 in order to remove his first transplanted face which tissues were dying.
"My fear was not to find a compatible donor. It was really stressful, we were wondering how much time we'd have to wait," said plastic surgeon and professor, Laurent Lantieri, in charge of both Hamon's surgeries.
They finally had to wait three months during which Hamon was living in his hospital room without a face, unable to see, talk or hear.
Hamon is still hospitalized three months after his surgery but hopes to start getting treatments at home soon.
