1st Near-Total Face Transplant on Woman

Health Industry is growing to advanced levels and particularly in womans area, it has a big market share. We have heard earlier of partial face transplantation news from France in 2006. After that 2 more cases also came in.

Now this year it is for the first time that a near-total face transplant has been done on a woman in US . Around 80% of face was replaced and all this was done at cleveland clinic by reconstructive surgeon Dr. Maria Siemionow. This is a major move and hope that in coming year more people will be able to take the advantage of this.
