How to Adapt to Your Face Transplant - Facts So Romantic

Just last month, Carmen Blandin had a remarkable dream. In it she saw, for the first time, not her old face in the mirror--the one she had for the first 38 years of her life--but the new face she received in a transplant three years ago. "I actually saw me with my new face," she says. In the dream, she was smiling. Carmen became severely disfigured one evening in 2007, at her home in rural Vermont, when her estranged husband doused her with industrial strength lye while she lay in bed.
