He went from only having a skull for a face to looking like a stroke victim. A really terrible terrible stroke, but that's absolutely amazing.

@@ljmcdonald2703 I think he meant he spoke better before the face transplant. There was a video of Dwayne being interviewed right before the transplant.
He's married now and can speak a load better
Just watched a more recent video of him from this year. Man has he come a long way.
man that guy makes me happy, as well does anyone else who's been seriously disfigured/injured and has been given a second chance of well-deserved, normal life, everyone should watch this video and stop and think about how good their life really is, people like Dallas have faced death, disfigurment and serious injury but have made it through and are living happy, joyous lives.
You are so amazing. I really jealous of your daughter because she has dad like you! Thanks for giving energy
couple years back what they did here was medically impossible, who knows what might come up in advancements in the future, dont call it done just yet, the guys my age, still got plenty of years to go on him
Well done! Amazing work
speechles...bravo... commendable job by d docs...& to this guy..truly a warrior..
U R MY HERO DALLAS WIENS!! May God Almighty Bless U and give U the strength to move on--WE r with u 100 percent dallas
this is so great, i`m happy for him
Hey man, it's way way better than it was. If it's like the other ones I've seen then his face will get better.
God bless u ,sir. Ur an inspiration to everyone
This is a great story god bless you
I've never been as inspired by anyone as I am of him.
Happy for him.
Quel courage de dingue il a eu....Heureuse pour lui que la medecine lui ait redonné un visage 😍
Beaucoup de courrage pour ce jeune homme !
A true inspiration.

@Sychronix You are missing the point. The story is an inspiration.
@kooldaug It's the nerves, there is no control because some important nerves from the one side of the face were probably too damaged to be repaired.
I remember him
@kooldaug I think it's because from the way his face is built, the way they had to attach the face added kind of a strange tilt in the mouth. Nobody is exactly the same, and this proves it.
wow that is amazing when this becomes a well worked out thing for people that lost their face or at least most of it then the relatives of the donor might see their relatives face on a other person which might be hard to take
Literally only know this because his daughter is my friend!
mucho respecto!!
Are the mouth going to be like... alive or something after a while? Like they are moving when he is talking? So he can talk clearly?
Because he has all of this new tissue that has no feeling yet, his lips, and he has to talk around them for now. He's kind of like a stroke victim at this point until the nerves generate and give him control of his own mouth, at which point he'll be able to talk without the slurring.
@DLarson1083 the "fat" is post op swelling, if you look at the other videos of face transplants they all have the swelling in the neck and cheeks
@CALICOTV301 you got that right
Its a good thing he cant see because it maybe a shocking site to see what he looks like or what he did at one time look like,Hopefully after some time his vision can be restored after he's used to his new appearence so the shock of everything all at once would be a bit easier. This is NOT an insult about his eyesight,its just my take on how much harder it would have been with having eyesight while disfigured and the shock of a new face is all I mean to say.
On another video they state that with time, his speech will return to normal
How is he now?
I totally agree. In fact, I can't believe scientists and doctors can be so seemingly dismissive about the fact that regardless of what people think, those who undergo face transplants, are basically wearing someone else's face. I wonder do the patients who undergo having someone else, who died, face placed on their own - do they ever think of the people whose faces that they have sewed onto their own flesh? Or not? It raises serious ethical questions.
The DVabel could he qualify for the bionic eyes
He was young only 23. Wow I don't know he;s very strong.

This may sound really bad but If i had the same face as he did i would've kept it how it was. First of all he could speak better (I know it gets easier to speak over time) and second of all it looks unique

That’s easy for you to say, you still have your entire face.
AGUANTE DALLAS !!
@CALICOTV301 Those are the same exact things I think of. I don't know if I would be able to go through this surgery for those reasons. Shallow? Maybe but, if I were a member of the donor's family, I don't know if I would be able to handle it. I dunno - I'm on the fence about either argument. It's an amazing procedure - life saving? Maybe, in some aspects but, it's not like a heart transplant or kidney transplant or something like that. Ya know what I mean?

I've b'n watch'n a few of these vids, I was watch'n the 1 on the 1st 1 ever done in the world in 2005 on a lady in France that had her face chewed up by a dog... Then I c'n another 1 on the same lady, so I clicked on it... She died in 2016 of cancer cus of the drugs she had to take so her body didn't reject her face. RIP... At least she got a few good years without people stare'n at her.
Thank you SCIENCE for this miracle!

They attached a completely foreign object to his skull, his muscles have to completely relearn how to move freely and his nerves have to adapt.
I couldn't believe it was real when I first saw the vid. Poor guy had literally nothing, no eyes or nose. Just a skull and mouth. It looked like a spoof.
looks just like jon travolta in face/ off;)
didn't he talk alot better before...
@SuperGrinder2 no you wont lol
to be honest that is quite scary...
i thought it is a broken face
I don't understand why they do this....no improvement visually and it's all droopy. Why not use a donor that actually FITS the recipient??!!! That face looks like it came from a man 5x his size. Doesn't make any sense. Either leave it or do it RIGHT.
