Abstract

Face transplantation consists in the extirpation of face tissues of a donor with the diagnosis of brain death (solid organ donor) and its transplantation to a patient to reconstruct his/her face defect. All deformed and scarred recipient face tissues are removed and replaced by normal tissues, which restore anatomy and function.
