Surgeons from the Cleveland Clinic worked for 22 hours to transplant a woman's face almost entirely. The surgeons fixed her severe facial trauma that left her with only her upper eyelids, forehead, lower lip and chin. The operation replaced about 80 per cent of her face, donated from a deceased woman.
