Reasoning In 2005, Isabelle Dickson, a French woman who had been mauled by her dog was the first patient to receive a partial face transplant. She was given a new nose, chin and lips. Since then, five other partial face transplants have been carried out in France, the US and China. The Chinese patient has since died, but other patients have adapted well to their new faces. Now new ground has been broken once again in France with the world’s first full face transplant. A French man who had been severely burned in an accident was given a new face that included every feature – even his scalp, forehead, nose, ears and eyelids. He was also given new hands at the same time. Approval for full face transplants in the UK was given nearly four years ago. As yet no such operations have been carried out in the UK because rigorous patient selection procedures have meant very slow progress on those going through the system.
