The mother of the donor has to be one of the most courageous women I’ve ever seen. Wow. She had just lost her son when she embraced Cam and his mom and wholeheartedly wished them well.
I am a chronic pain sufferer and also a Christian who believes that what I am going through is nothing compared to what this family has felt. It makes me feel ashamed when I complain or when I say things mean or critical because of my own lack of abilities due to the pain. But I pray, upon my death, that they use any and every healthy piece of my body to save someone like this young man. I believe God saved him for this purpose, to have another chance to live without fear, sickness or self doubt that he was feeling when he tried to kill himself. This is just one person that was saved by the donor's body and they are ALIVE because God intervened and took someone home to heaven so others, who may not have been believers of Christ have now found Gods grace.
Dr Rodriguez said in this interview that Cameron's was only the third face transplant he had performed?! Amazing! ruclips.net/video/B0zJaP_ELRI/видео.html
@Moonrock High Yes, but not nearly enough for what they do. I just left a hospital after 5 days, and the CNA'S do all the crappy, literally work. And the doctors don't do what they can do IF NOT FOR THE NURSES, WHO RELY ON THE CNA'S. I think they are heroes for WANTING TO DO THIS WORK!! It's a THANKLESS JOB, 90% of the time, at least based on my own experience. GOD BLESS THEM, AND THEN SOME MORE!!!🙏✝️🙏✝️
@@Raddrickheffley That was a compliment but you can't take a little constructive criticism along with it. Why not try acting like a lady instead of being rude?
Holy cow... the mother that just lost her son, the first things she said to Cameron's mom was "Thank God for you, I'm so happy for you, thank you for letting my son live on". I cannot imagine even for a millisecond what anyone in this situation feels like, but her courage, faith, and love is pouring out of herself freely and I pray that our Loving Father will restore her mind, body and spirit so she can enjoy life again.
@God Is Up Above interesting username. I will always respect science and technology as they are the reason why life saving procedures like the one featured in this video can happen in the first place. I will not support your comment about God being a mythic character. God created man, who created science and technology. It is because of God’s creations that any of this is possible. I pray that someday you encounter something or someone that will open your heart and mind to living in the light of our Heavenly Father. Whilst we don’t agree, I will still respect you as a person and respect your right to believe otherwise and your right to speak words that I do not personally agree with. I’m thankful to God for everything that I have, including the ability to have conversations like this with people all over the world. Blessing to you, fellow humans. Be kind to others and also yourself!
Part of her son's face is still literally alive on someone else's body. It is living tissue while the rest of his body disintegrated. Kind off bizarre to think about.
when i was 15yrs old, i tried committing suicide. i took 20 pills. i was so close to death. my whole body swelled up. i got bumps all over my body. my throat was startin to close up and i could barely even breathe. i knew i was seconds away from death. i was gasping for air. i got scared and regretted it right away. i wished ive never done it. for the first time in my life, i cried out to God and told him i dont wanna die. i jus need help. plz help me. plz help me. i wept. within seconds, i felt this warmth, love and peace surround me. i knew for a fact it was God. within seconds, he healed my whole body. i could breathe. swelling was gone. he instantly delivered me from suicidal thoughts and depression after strugglin with it for 6yrs. psychiatrists and psychologists and takin their medicine never helped. the only thing that WORKED was when i cried out to God and asked him for help. he instantly saved me and delivered me and performed miracles on me. he gave me a new outlook on life. for once in my life i actually wanted to live and not die. that was something odd for me cuz for 6yrs i wanted to die so bad. my mom had cancer and shes the reason why i tried taking my life cuz i didnt wanna lose her. i lost her at 16yrs old and lost my dad at 17yrs old. i didnt kno Jesus until i was 24 n a half yrs old. im 25 now n my relationship with Jesus is so strong. hes helped me change into a whole diff person. ppl actually see the miraculous change in me. if it wasnt for Jesus, id be dead right now. The only healer u need is Jesus. hes our healer. Go to Jesus for healing. im living proof 😊💖 Jesus loves u😊💖 he wants u to repent and forsake ur sins, be born again and place ur faith n trust in him. start havin a personal relationship with Jesus and obey him 😊💖.
Nayeli P William fisher is my cousin. My mom Amy fisher is William fishers aunt. They live in New York and I’m seeing them during spring break. I never met William unfortunately nor any of my aunts on my moms side.
Nayeli P nothing compared to what he had originally. I don’t know what caused him to shoot himself but you people need to talk about how u feel and let people know how ur doing and get help. He is extremely lucky and i don’t give a fuck how amazing what they did was it will never be perfect he will never be normal.
I was just going to say that. Usually, I feel like they look unnatural and too large for their body but they did a good job on him and he seems to be very appreciative of it
Such two great mothers! I live in the US & my donor is from Germany! I got stem cells from a donor from across the world because of MCL. My own three sisters by the same mom & dad didn't match me. Although my match was inside of me & can't be seen visual, it was amazing to me & really made me think of how close we all are as humans. I owe my life to her! I had to wait a year to speak to her but now we both talk regularly. She calls me her little stem cell twin, lol. I'm so happy for this guy & the doctors who do amazing things. It just keeps getting better!

The mom of the donor was going through the most unimaginable pain of saying goodbye to a child. Yet she still wanted to come THANK them for letting her son live on. Extraordinary!
Same I was thinking. I feel sad for the mother of that person. Though the surgery came out grt I also hope that the donor and his family who are suffering gets a good afterlife in heaven probably or have a good life in the next life.
letting them live on the face of a U.S. born, objectively attractive healthy white male with a loving family who attempted suicide. that mother hated their child.
"Thank you for letting my son live on." Wow. That moment got me. So many different ways the meeting could have gone and this mother chose the most beautiful outlook.
That is an incredible surgery. You would never suspect his face was as disfigured as it was. Modern medicine, ladies and gentlemen. And it's only going to get better
He looks really good. They did an amazing job. The donor's mother had such incredible strength and love. What a beautiful story. I wish these families well.
He had more hope while having no face than before he shot himself. That shows how strong and dangerous can be dark feelings. Never understimate the killing power of bullying, of a heartbreak, of rejection, of failure. Those struggles are real.
"Thank you for letting my son live on." This is a truly beautiful act of kindness. Sign up to be an organ donor - you can save lives and make a tragedy into a story of hope.
Give your organ doner request to a close trusted family member or friend, and have them show the request just after the time of your death. Some hospitals will let someone who is an organ doner die if they want the organ bad enough. It's sick, but evidently true.
First thing I did when I turned 16 was register my self for the Doner list! So when I die people can have what they want from me! as long as it helps to save someone! This video was truly amazing!
Im afraid that if i ever need life saving emergency medical treatment the doctors would notice that i am a donor and consider just letting me die to use my body.
And he looks so good too! The donor's mother is an absolutely remarkable person. It shook me to my core when she came to meet Cameron before the surgery. I haven't gone from zero to bawling faster in my life.
Kind of a mind bender. Young man tries to kill himself only to live with the scars. Young man dies that, undoubtedly wanted to live, and gives maimed young man a second chance at life.
I was thinking the same thing.This shit is crazy and unfair..Life is so ..Im at a lost for words..1 wanted to die and he lives.The other wanted to live and he dies ..the other gets his face and lives on. Blows my mind...

@@postiticeland8783 the subject of the video attempted suicide and was given the face of someone who died of an accident. the wealthy taking from the poor once again.
Honestly, I'd like to see how is Cameron now a days three years after his surgery. How his routine is, how much he was able to control his facial expressions, how much his scars have disappeared or even if him and his family have been keeping contact with the donor's mother and what's her views on the whole thing.
I just wanted to reach out to the donor’s mother and hug her. What a wonderful woman. Everyone involved in this situation was just amazing and wonderful.
Donors mom has one of the biggest hearts I’ve ever seen! I’m so sorry for her loss.. The doctor is great! The kid made an awful mistake but found strength to live on! What an awesome story, thank you for sharing!
Incredible story. The woman who lost her son is amazing. She donated her son's face to a stranger and she was happy to. It was her way of giving another person a second chance at life and to let her child's face live on. God bless her for giving up her son's face to save another mother's child's face. It's incredible how God works to make things happen.
Wow the results at the 6 month mark are insane. When he regains full motor-function of his jaw, you wouldn't suspect any sort of transplant, just maybe a severe car-crash or something.
C T I know! I underwent a surgery that was much shorter but it had many potential risks (especially since it was a surgery that only happened a few times at that point) and my surgeon said to me and my parents a few years later that he was nervous, I can only imagine what it’s like after 20+ hours.
Pressure? Why? This guy shot himself, it was not accidental. And then he wants to live with a perfect face???? Come on, doctors must not feel pressure. They just have to do what they can. Nothing else.
Dr. Rodriguez is an angel in disguise. You can see by just the way he talk and think that he is a very compassionate person. God Bless you for all your efforts and dedication to your work.
Suddenly, all my problems seem trivial. God bless the mother of the son that passed away and God bless the young man with a new face and outlook on life. My prayers go out to all of them.
Dr Rodriguez said in this interview that Cameron's was only the third face transplant he had performed?! Amazing! ruclips.net/video/B0zJaP_ELRI/видео.html
This is the best face transplant I’ve ever seen. If I can’t spot it from 15 feet that his face is a little off that’s absolutely amazing considering other transplants I’ve seen. Not near as much swelling and clean attachments
Dr. Rodriguez is a genius. He developed this type of face transplant which is the most comprehensive in the world as it replaces the entire face and scalp and back of the head. For this reason it is the most esthetically pleasing transplant, unlike the one developed in France that only replaces part of the face and therefore leaves visible facial scars.
ruclips.net/video/cKnw7HWzbGU/видео.html Cam's was only partial, and Dr Rodriguez said in this interview that Cameron's was only the third face transplant he had performed?!'' ruclips.net/video/B0zJaP_ELRI/видео.html
He looks incredibly similar to the way he previously did. With the sunglasses on, you can’t even tell. With years of speech therapy it will be almost unknown.
Your face is more defined by the underlaying bone structure, they transplanted the facial tissue and muscle, but the underlaying bone is the same, given enough time, there will almost be no difference between before the injury and after the surgery
@@Oatmealism he blew the lower portion of his face off. *that includes the bone structure* you're picking a weird hill to die on and looking stupid for it.
You take away the scars I’d honest only thought he’d had a stroke or something, not that he shotgunned his face off WOW! incredible work from the surgeons, respect 👏🏼👊🏼
what a fantastic job done by a very caring surgeon. Remember, you cannot heal if the love is not there. He had seen many MDs and he stated that MOST were very aloof/indifferent to him. But the hands of a caring surgeon, walking him through the course of his journey has made him into a great person and good recovery.
Cameron you look so handsome! I'm so happy that you got a 2nd chance at life- to the donors mother: You are an amazing woman- I can't think of a greater gift to give someone- I'm so sorry about your son- but he lives on ♡
casEy lyNn maNn Getting a new face wasn’t his 2nd chance at life; he got his 2nd chance when he survived his suicide attempt. Another guy didn’t get that 2nd chance at life. Cameron now wears his face. Let’s hope he doesn’t destroy this one as well.
Exactly any closer to his eyes and he would've been permanently blind.. I understand what he was going through he was obviously depressed about something but shooting yourself in the face is never the answer.
Same. Also respect to the next of kin who technically makes the decision after someone has died, as they can still decline to donate organs.. it's a hard decision
He looked like my dad after my dad shot his self it takes me back 3 years ago when he shot his self I was just happy to have him 1 year later exactly 1 month before my 11th birthday he died to a sezier in the middle of the night while asleep we found him about 1pm and I considered suicide 2 weeks later and I decided to keep trying and push harder and 2 years later still holding strong
Apu Apustaja are you blind or just thick? His face is pretty much back apart from the voice and obviously there is gonna be some imperfections but what do u expect? He blew his face off and needs those plates to stay in
You are just deluded if you think that , his face is barley restored and the problem he had was public attention you really think with that mug people are gonna stop starting at your face or your family will look at you the same. Dumb guy
I feel so insignificant when I watch Doctor Rodriguez's skill. The hours he studied to become a doctor, the hours, late night he worked to master a craft that had not be done before, leave me in shame. I have lived those same hours, and have not achieved with them what he has. REMARKABLE. Awe inspiring. Always an honor. ~ The donor mother...ROCKSTAR.
@@kezfaz6429 Such a thoughtful comment. Thank you for taking the time to be so kind. I receive your advice with gratitude as well as the blessing. ~ May God richly bless you as well. XX
You should never feel shame for not having the same talents this amazing surgeon has. We all have talents, but we can't all have the same talents. Even the most uneducated person in the world has talents whether it might be comforting a crying child or singing to comfort a dying elder. Never feel worthless because you think you don't measure up to someone else. ❤😊

Wow. I can't even fathom the feeling of the donors mother when seeing her sons face on another man. You could see the pure emotion on her face. Just an amazing story.
One of the families I grew up with lost their son suddenly. The mother got to meet some of the people who received his organs and she said it was a great gift.
For any family of a donor you don’t know how great a sacrifice you all have made and your loved one. One of the greatest acts of kindness I think any human can give
I remember Cameron when his injury first occurred. He’s been so brave through it all! I remember you walking around the unit. Look how far you’ve come!
@@MFWb00bi3s technically it's still an injury because literally half of his face was blown off, By "how far they've come" they meant how far he's come from not having a mouth to having his lower face back and being able to smile and act normal again.
I wish Cameron and his family all the joy, love and happiness in the world. My brother committed suicide only a few months ago and hearing Cameron's older brother talk about his own feelings really hit me hard. Life truly is valuable and beautiful and people are so valuable and so beautiful and so rare. It's scary sometimes to think about it, but everyone is so rare. There's no one like you or like my brother or like Cameron, we're all so different and that's what makes us so amazing and valuable.
I'm sorry for your loss. The pain never goes away, although it does get a little bit easier to deal with over time. Some days are better than others, we got to keep our heads up & just keep on keepin' on. All we can do is remember the good times & just know that you have a forever guardian angel looking down on you now.
The donor’s mother is just an exceptional person in every way. “Thank you for letting my son live on in you.” I’m blown away by her beauty of spirit & sincerely hope they all stay in touch. Cam looks fantastic & Dr Rodriguez is not only a world-class surgeon but a truly wonderful human being.
I'm literally crying for the donor's mum, but also really happy for Cameron that he recovered and gave himself a second chance to live again. The Dr put in so much work to make it happen, he is like the hero of the story
It's so weird seeing the photo of the donor next Cameron. I mean when we look in the mirror we think "that's me". And now that "me" lives on in a different person, who lost part of his own identity. In a sense he became more than just himself. So happy for him that he now has a better outlook on life and doesn't have to worry as much anymore
in Belgium they cut me mutilated by medical blunder and I have to live with that :-( and I know there are 1,000,000 times this has been restored and even now I am no longer welcome in a hospital I must commit suicide no more of the pains
@@robivde1 Give your life to Jesus. If you commit suicide, it's going to be worse, because your real suffering will start and never end. Turn to Jesus, my friend. If you call on Him, He will answer. I promise.
@@A_Beautiful_Death No, my friend. It was God that botched his suicide attempt and gave him a second chance. Jesus is real, and He is amazing. Nothing you say can bother a follower of Jesus. We will love you very much regardless of your smarty-pants comments. We have eternal life and eternal riches. We will see Jesus face to face once our hearts stop. How can you possibly bother us? Jesus warned us of scoffers like you. We will only pray for you and plead for you. We're nuts!
Wow he looks amazing thats a fantastic result for him. The donor mum is so strong and caring, when she said thank you for letting my son live on that made me cry. I hope that Cameron is still doing well these days, I would love to see a follow up with him. The surgeons did a miracle for him for sure.

@candy person but she didn't say anything on the video topic, doctors or Cameron, just shared her personal expierence as a suicide attempt survivor - let her be.
I’m pretty sure that he was extensively evaluated for mental health stability before he was even considered to be added to the facial transplant list. (Not a doc, just super into medicine and know many doctors in all sorts of fields).
At 18 my mother died from cancer my depression was so strong I tried to kill myself because all I wanted was to be with my mother again. Luckily my attempt failed and I was able to recover.I can understand how this young man felt on the day he tried to end his life. I can only imagine how hard recovery must be with a physical reminder. It’s amazing he is able to get a second chance.
I lost my wife 6 years ago and I to so wanted to be with her, but I had a daughter to raise otherwise I'm not sure I'd be here. Time marches on, I still cry and grieve, mainly cause I'm alone now since my daughter went into the Air Force. I found out, its ok to cry, yell even throw things, but it will pass, doesn't mean time allows you to love less, but to continue to love.
Explore With Mitch And Burn That Wood Very true, I’ve also learned that my mom lives on in the things she did and taught me that I know share with my kids. But there isn’t a day I don’t miss her. I’m praying for you and I’m sorry for your lost.
Wow. Cam's surgeons did an incredible job. Looking at him now, it's hard to tell his original injury was so severe. I hope he lives a long, full, happy life. God bless his family and doctors for being such an amazing support system. Also, God bless the donor and his sweet mother. I hope that the donor's mom is truly comforted despite her loss, and what a generous gift she and her son have given Cam and his family.
Wow the fact that this kid actually looks like himself before the accident is beyond me! He looks really good ! Especially when he had that hat on at the end I was totally blown away! Technically is amazing! Shout out to the doc! You rock dude!

Every face transplant I see looks better and better. This is the best one yet. It's amazing, he looks amazing. That Mother who lost her son is an absolute angel.
I honestly cried and I would not stop crying, I have been battling depression for about 5 years now, this video gave me more strength to fight harder, I have such a wonderful family and I have to stay alive if not for me but for them.
Please stay strong and whatever it is that you're going through, please know that life is beauty and know that somebody loves you especially God 😊 I'm going to be praying for you. Don't let these things take over your life. You are always loved.
I'm writing this message with tears, because of my health condition, the doctor told me this morning that i will not survive my health condition due to my cancer diagnosing, so i have decided to offer my fund to the orphanage children, homeless less privilege there in your country to enable them to always pray for me even am if I'm know more alive as the doctor has told me that i can not survive my health condition
I do believe he was given second chance for a reason. We all make mistakes in life I have dealt with horrible depression and my thought went to suicide but I pulled myself out of it. This is absolutely amazing, he looks really great.
@Anthony Strunk .. I’m really happy you were able to pull yourself away from thoughts of committing suicide ...you were strong to be able to save yourself....one of the fortunate ones. I wish you the very best in life and pray that you are in a much better place now, stay strong when the battles on....blessings from Australia.
This still amazes me. I can’t even imagine what a relief it must be that he got a chance for a face transplantation. It still sounds surreal, yet it’s reality. These surgeons are miracle workers! It’s truly unbelievable.
It's amazing how sometimes people have to go through something so tragic, thinking they were alone, at the bottom and no one cared, to learn that everyone around you cares so tremendously. Far beyond what you can ever imagine. Anybody who is depressed, isolated or alone, I want them to think about this. Ask for help. Talk to your loved ones. Reach out. Please. This young man was fortunate to get his second chance. Learn from it. It's beautiful and amazing.
What a gift. I would have never thought that this would ever be possible in my lifetime. I @m bowled over with emotion. Please continue with your great work doctors. You are AMAZING!!
Wow, Cameron looks really good! I know the surgery isn't primarily about the appearance but it's astonishing how normal Cameron looks. He's actually cute! If I saw him out and about I might notice his scars but never suspect he'd had a partial face transplant. I've had friends with worse scarring from car accidents. Good luck to Cameron, I hope he stays healthy and enjoys a long rich life.

The mother of the donor has to be one of the most courageous women I’ve ever seen. Wow. She had just lost her son when she embraced Cam and his mom and wholeheartedly wished them well.
Jenna Hoff That made me bawl like a baby!
I wish more people were like her
For sure!
I am a chronic pain sufferer and also a Christian who believes that what I am going through is nothing compared to what this family has felt. It makes me feel ashamed when I complain or when I say things mean or critical because of my own lack of abilities due to the pain. But I pray, upon my death, that they use any and every healthy piece of my body to save someone like this young man. I believe God saved him for this purpose, to have another chance to live without fear, sickness or self doubt that he was feeling when he tried to kill himself. This is just one person that was saved by the donor's body and they are ALIVE because God intervened and took someone home to heaven so others, who may not have been believers of Christ have now found Gods grace.
Jenna Hoff thats humanity!
That doctor is world class. Need more high quality doctors like this.
Dr Rodriguez said in this interview that Cameron's was only the third face transplant he had performed?! Amazing!

@Moonrock High Yes, but not nearly enough for what they do. I just left a hospital after 5 days, and the CNA'S do all the crappy, literally work. And the doctors don't do what they can do IF NOT FOR THE NURSES, WHO RELY ON THE CNA'S. I think they are heroes for WANTING TO DO THIS WORK!!

Holy cow... the mother that just lost her son, the first things she said to Cameron's mom was "Thank God for you, I'm so happy for you, thank you for letting my son live on". I cannot imagine even for a millisecond what anyone in this situation feels like, but her courage, faith, and love is pouring out of herself freely and I pray that our Loving Father will restore her mind, body and spirit so she can enjoy life again.
Very well said. I agree 100% with you.
She's coping but nice nonetheless.
it must be bizarre to her
her sons face on someone else
@God Is Up Above interesting username. I will always respect science and technology as they are the reason why life saving procedures like the one featured in this video can happen in the first place. I will not support your comment about God being a mythic character. God created man, who created science and technology. It is because of God’s creations that any of this is possible. I pray that someday you encounter something or someone that will open your heart and mind to living in the light of our Heavenly Father. Whilst we don’t agree, I will still respect you as a person and respect your right to believe otherwise and your right to speak words that I do not personally agree with. I’m thankful to God for everything that I have, including the ability to have conversations like this with people all over the world. Blessing to you, fellow humans. Be kind to others and also yourself!
She said nothing about faith, it’s just a figure of speech, don’t corrupt her story with your own narrative.
“Thank you for letting my son live on!!!” Wow... Goosebump moment.
My eyes leaked.
Part of her son's face is still literally alive on someone else's body. It is living tissue while the rest of his body disintegrated. Kind off bizarre to think about.

Such two great mothers! I live in the US & my donor is from Germany! I got stem cells from a donor from across the world because of MCL. My own three sisters by the same mom & dad didn't match me. Although my match was inside of me & can't be seen visual, it was amazing to me & really made me think of how close we all are as humans. I owe my life to her!

"Thank you for letting my son live on."
This is a truly beautiful act of kindness. Sign up to be an organ donor - you can save lives and make a tragedy into a story of hope.
Give your organ doner request to a close trusted family member or friend, and have them show the request just after the time of your death. Some hospitals will let someone who is an organ doner die if they want the organ bad enough. It's sick, but evidently true.
This inspired me to sell my kidney
44Bimbo you can’t sell kidneys dummy
First thing I did when I turned 16 was register my self for the Doner list! So when I die people can have what they want from me! as long as it helps to save someone! This video was truly amazing!
Im afraid that if i ever need life saving emergency medical treatment the doctors would notice that i am a donor and consider just letting me die to use my body.
And he looks so good too! The donor's mother is an absolutely remarkable person. It shook me to my core when she came to meet Cameron before the surgery. I haven't gone from zero to bawling faster in my life.
Kind of a mind bender. Young man tries to kill himself only to live with the scars. Young man dies that, undoubtedly wanted to live, and gives maimed young man a second chance at life.
@Monte Blue thats kind of fair now , but it costs his family 1,5 mio or 1 mio
I was thinking the same thing.This shit is crazy and unfair..Life is so ..Im at a lost for words..1 wanted to die and he lives.The other wanted to live and he dies ..the other gets his face and lives on. Blows my mind...

Honestly, I'd like to see how is Cameron now a days three years after his surgery. How his routine is, how much he was able to control his facial expressions, how much his scars have disappeared or even if him and his family have been keeping contact with the donor's mother and what's her views on the whole thing.

Incredible story. The woman who lost her son is amazing. She donated her son's face to a stranger and she was happy to. It was her way of giving another person a second chance at life and to let her child's face live on. God bless her for giving up her son's face to save another mother's child's face. It's incredible how God works to make things happen.
Wow the results at the 6 month mark are insane. When he regains full motor-function of his jaw, you wouldn't suspect any sort of transplant, just maybe a severe car-crash or something.
Will he regain full function of his jaw? I don't know about that. I hope he does but I wouldn't have thought it was a given.

Rest in Peace the Donor
This is the best face transplant I’ve ever seen. If I can’t spot it from 15 feet that his face is a little off that’s absolutely amazing considering other transplants I’ve seen. Not near as much swelling and clean attachments
Dr. Rodriguez is a genius. He developed this type of face transplant which is the most comprehensive in the world as it replaces the entire face and scalp and back of the head. For this reason it is the most esthetically pleasing transplant, unlike the one developed in France that only replaces part of the face and therefore leaves visible facial scars.
It looked to me like it was sewn on under the eyes though?
Or was the stitching there just related to some other reason?

He looks incredibly similar to the way he previously did. With the sunglasses on, you can’t even tell. With years of speech therapy it will be almost unknown.
Your face is more defined by the underlaying bone structure, they transplanted the facial tissue and muscle, but the underlaying bone is the same, given enough time, there will almost be no difference between before the injury and after the surgery

what a fantastic job done by a very caring surgeon. Remember, you cannot heal if the love is not there. He had seen many MDs and he stated that MOST were very aloof/indifferent to him.

The hours he studied to become a doctor, the hours, late night he worked to master a craft that had not be done before, leave me in shame. I have lived those same hours, and have not achieved with them what he has. REMARKABLE. Awe inspiring. Always an honor. ~ The donor mother...ROCKSTAR.
10's of thousands of hours to become a top surgeon like that.
Please don’t think you’re not relevant. You are. Everybody is different. God bless you xx
@@kezfaz6429 Such a thoughtful comment. Thank you for taking the time to be so kind. I receive your advice with gratitude as well as the blessing. ~ May God richly bless you as well. XX
You should never feel shame for not having the same talents this amazing surgeon has. We all have talents, but we can't all have the same talents. Even the most uneducated person in the world has talents whether it might be comforting a crying child or singing to comfort a dying elder. Never feel worthless because you think you don't measure up to someone else. ❤😊
@@sherrelogan6323 So thoughtful to have left such kindness in the comments. While you meant them for me...that level of kindness will be served out to many who may also need such a reminder. Your great example has the power to make CHANGE! WELL DONE YOU!🤗🥰 Group Hug everyone! 👧👩🦰👨🦱👩🏽🦱👴🏽👳🏽♂👨🏼🦰👨🏾
When it’s my time , my body is going to be donated to others and science . I want others to live on and get the help and answers they need. 💜
you are an amazing person!
when i was 15yrs old, i tried committing suicide. i took 20 pills. i was so close to death. my whole body swelled up. i got bumps all over my body. my throat was startin to close up and i could barely even breathe. i knew i was seconds away from death. i was gasping for air. i got scared and regretted it right away. i wished ive never done it. for the first time in my life, i cried out to God and told him i dont wanna die. i jus need help. plz help me. plz help me. i wept. within seconds, i felt this warmth, love and peace surround me. i knew for a fact it was God. within seconds, he healed my whole body. i could breathe. swelling was gone. he instantly delivered me from suicidal thoughts and depression after strugglin with it for 6yrs. psychiatrists and psychologists and takin their medicine never helped. the only thing that WORKED was when i cried out to God and asked him for help. he instantly saved me and delivered me and performed miracles on me. he gave me a new outlook on life. for once in my life i actually wanted to live and not die. that was something odd for me cuz for 6yrs i wanted to die so bad. my mom had cancer and shes the reason why i tried taking my life cuz i didnt wanna lose her. i lost her at 16yrs old and lost my dad at 17yrs old. i didnt kno Jesus until i was 24 n a half yrs old. im 25 now n my relationship with Jesus is so strong. hes helped me change into a whole diff person. ppl actually see the miraculous change in me. if it wasnt for Jesus, id be dead right now. The only healer u need is Jesus. hes our healer. Go to Jesus for healing. im living proof 😊💖 Jesus loves u😊💖 he wants u to repent and forsake ur sins, be born again and place ur faith n trust in him. start havin a personal relationship with Jesus and obey him 😊💖.
Religious scumbags
@@vanessabunnie9262 wtf, jesus has nothing to do with your life. Dickwad
@@PrediumX lol you are being the scumbag here. You know what respect means?
Best face transplant I've seen so far, he looks great.
Wow. I can't even fathom the feeling of the donors mother when seeing her sons face on another man. You could see the pure emotion on her face. Just an amazing story.
better than the one of kid who tried to kill himself thats for sure
One of the families I grew up with lost their son suddenly. The mother got to meet some of the people who received his organs and she said it was a great gift.
For any family of a donor you don’t know how great a sacrifice you all have made and your loved one. One of the greatest acts of kindness I think any human can give
Kudos To the doctor I've never seen such a caring and loving doctor
Look up Zion hand transplant, it's such a beautiful video
I remember Cameron when his injury first occurred. He’s been so brave through it all! I remember you walking around the unit. Look how far you’ve come!
by "injury" do you mean "suicide attempt"?
by "look how far [they've] come" do you mean "look how privileged they are"?
@@MFWb00bi3s technically it's still an injury because literally half of his face was blown off, By "how far they've come" they meant how far he's come from not having a mouth to having his lower face back and being able to smile and act normal again.
🤫
I wish Cameron and his family all the joy, love and happiness in the world. My brother committed suicide only a few months ago and hearing Cameron's older brother talk about his own feelings really hit me hard. Life truly is valuable and beautiful and people are so valuable and so beautiful and so rare. It's scary sometimes to think about it, but everyone is so rare. There's no one like you or like my brother or like Cameron, we're all so different and that's what makes us so amazing and valuable.
I'm sorry for your loss. The pain never goes away, although it does get a little bit easier to deal with over time. Some days are better than others, we got to keep our heads up & just keep on keepin' on. All we can do is remember the good times & just know that you have a forever guardian angel looking down on you now.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. May your brother resting peace.🙏🏽
So truly sorry 😢. Holding you and your family in prayer 🙏💜💜💜
The donor’s mother is just an exceptional person in every way. “Thank you for letting my son live on in you.” I’m blown away by her beauty of spirit & sincerely hope they all stay in touch. Cam looks fantastic & Dr Rodriguez is not only a world-class surgeon but a truly wonderful human being.
I'm literally crying for the donor's mum, but also really happy for Cameron that he recovered and gave himself a second chance to live again. The Dr put in so much work to make it happen, he is like the hero of the story
The whole story is amazing. How lucky is he that he can still see and even eat normally! He definitely has a guardian angel.
he’s so beautiful even before the transplant. how blessed that he got another second chance at life
It's so weird seeing the photo of the donor next Cameron. I mean when we look in the mirror we think "that's me". And now that "me" lives on in a different person, who lost part of his own identity. In a sense he became more than just himself. So happy for him that he now has a better outlook on life and doesn't have to worry as much anymore
I had such mixed emotions for the mother of the donor. I felt her pain and her happiness.
They just keep getting better. It's absolutely amazing. That doctor is amazing.
Good Jesus, that touched me DEEP. May God bless the families, the medical team and also that doctor, who was incredibly and admirably professional!
in Belgium they cut me mutilated by medical blunder and I have to live with that :-( and I know there are 1,000,000 times this has been restored and even now I am no longer welcome in a hospital I must commit suicide no more of the pains
God had nothing to do with this! Thank Science!
@@robivde1 Give your life to Jesus. If you commit suicide, it's going to be worse, because your real suffering will start and never end. Turn to Jesus, my friend. If you call on Him, He will answer. I promise.
@@A_Beautiful_Death No, my friend. It was God that botched his suicide attempt and gave him a second chance. Jesus is real, and He is amazing. Nothing you say can bother a follower of Jesus. We will love you very much regardless of your smarty-pants comments. We have eternal life and eternal riches. We will see Jesus face to face once our hearts stop. How can you possibly bother us? Jesus warned us of scoffers like you. We will only pray for you and plead for you. We're nuts!
@@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST (sigh) Oh boy.
Wow he looks amazing thats a fantastic result for him. The donor mum is so strong and caring, when she said thank you for letting my son live on that made me cry. I hope that Cameron is still doing well these days, I would love to see a follow up with him. The surgeons did a miracle for him for sure.
This defies belief. It's like science fiction. I'm thinking of the doctor who the power in his hands to literally give someone his life back. Stunned.
Cpr give someone his life back
They not actually giving anybody life . Its just the skin. The soul and everything is gone
And football players or mma fighters are more famous than this doctor. Something goes wrong
@Your friendly Neighborhood Loaf of Bread because they generate money in advertising.
That's cause mcgregor makes proper whiskey
mma fighters fame not bothering me. what bothers me the most is that kim kardashian and kanye west think they are talented.
nima ostaniha they ARE talented. It takes talent to separate someone from their money voluntarily to make these two rich.
@@nimaostaniha4131 kanye west is different than kim i mean he is a fantastic producer he isn't just rapping or singing he make his own beat but his beat are really nice i know every one have different taste so he can be called trash but it's not only a regular rapper he makes his own beat and original beat that's why i defend him if it was lil pump lil peep or some other rapper i would not defend it
That was such a good match. I've seen cases where they don't look seamless like this guy.
Im impressed with how good looking he is after the surgery for real, these guys are artists no doubt
I’m just concerned that whatever stressors lead him to do what him, will return. Hopefully therapy is part of his long term treatment.

Man attempts suicide, surgeons spend 24 hours on a transplant to salvage his face, and people give the credit to an invisible sky deity. WTF!!!!!
@candy person but she didn't say anything on the video topic, doctors or Cameron, just shared her personal expierence as a suicide attempt survivor - let her be.
I’m pretty sure that he was extensively evaluated for mental health stability before he was even considered to be added to the facial transplant list. (Not a doc, just super into medicine and know many doctors in all sorts of fields).
@@vanessabunnie9262 wtf lame edge lord
At 18 my mother died from cancer my depression was so strong I tried to kill myself because all I wanted was to be with my mother again. Luckily my attempt failed and I was able to recover.I can understand how this young man felt on the day he tried to end his life. I can only imagine how hard recovery must be with a physical reminder. It’s amazing he is able to get a second chance.
I lost my wife 6 years ago and I to so wanted to be with her, but I had a daughter to raise otherwise I'm not sure I'd be here. Time marches on, I still cry and grieve, mainly cause I'm alone now since my daughter went into the Air Force. I found out, its ok to cry, yell even throw things, but it will pass, doesn't mean time allows you to love less, but to continue to love.

Very true, I’ve also learned that my mom lives on in the things she did and taught me that I know share with my kids. But there isn’t a day I don’t miss her. I’m praying for you and I’m sorry for your lost.
Wow. Cam's surgeons did an incredible job. Looking at him now, it's hard to tell his original injury was so severe. I hope he lives a long, full, happy life. God bless his family and doctors for being such an amazing support system. Also, God bless the donor and his sweet mother. I hope that the donor's mom is truly comforted despite her loss, and what a generous gift she and her son have given Cam and his family.
Wow the fact that this kid actually looks like himself before the accident is beyond me! He looks really good ! Especially when he had that hat on at the end I was totally blown away! Technically is amazing! Shout out to the doc! You rock dude!
I don't care what nobody says he had the cutest eye's even before he got his face worked on Awww 🥰🥰

THe opening part with his brother had me tearing up big time, I havent experienced anything like this but I do have a brother and it really caught me.
God bless the donor Mom, and may this be part of a beautiful restoration for the recipient and his family.
This is incredibly heartwarming. It gave two people a tremendous opportunity and a chance to be happy again, Cameroon and the mother of his donor.
Omg I didn't realize how close he lives to me Im only 15 minutes away... I'm so glad that he is happy again
Me too!!
This video just made me tell my dad I love him and that I'm happy he's there for me whenever I need him even though I've never said that before. This is a beautiful story and inspiring for all people. Best of luck to Cameron with his continued life. Stay strong together
Your words just made me cry. So beautiful and I'm so glad you told him, trust me, it's a moment etched forever in his heart. ❤️
'Everybody deserves a second chance' yes they do and so glad this story got one♡ The donors mother is so gracious. Bless everyone involved♡
Every face transplant I see looks better and better. This is the best one yet. It's amazing, he looks amazing. That Mother who lost her son is an absolute angel.
I honestly cried and I would not stop crying, I have been battling depression for about 5 years now, this video gave me more strength to fight harder, I have such a wonderful family and I have to stay alive if not for me but for them.
Please stay strong and whatever it is that you're going through, please know that life is beauty and know that somebody loves you especially God 😊 I'm going to be praying for you. Don't let these things take over your life. You are always loved.
Wow her son lives on seeing the world through a different set of eyes. This is truly beautiful and so heartwarming
I'm writing this message with tears, because of my health condition, the doctor told me this morning that i will not survive my health condition due to my cancer diagnosing, so i have decided to offer my fund to the orphanage children, homeless less privilege there in your country to enable them to
always pray for me even am if I'm know more alive as the doctor has told me that i can not survive my health condition
I do believe he was given second chance for a reason. We all make mistakes in life I have dealt with horrible depression and my thought went to suicide but I pulled myself out of it. This is absolutely amazing, he looks really great.
Ok what made you change your mind? And dont tell me it was some woman cause i will slit my ankles
Shin Drad completely uncalled for
@Anthony Strunk .. I’m really happy you were able to pull yourself away from thoughts of committing suicide ...you were strong to be able to save yourself....one of the fortunate ones.
I wish you the very best in life and pray that you are in a much better place now, stay strong when the battles on....blessings from Australia.
I can't imagine how it felt for the mother of the donor. Amazing work, just so very moving.
No
This is a total tear fest... I cried throughout the entire video! I pray both families are healing and loving one another...💙
Hello KarenSueknows, How’re you doing
This still amazes me. I can’t even imagine what a relief it must be that he got a chance for a face transplantation. It still sounds surreal, yet it’s reality. These surgeons are miracle workers! It’s truly unbelievable.
It's amazing how sometimes people have to go through something so tragic, thinking they were alone, at the bottom and no one cared, to learn that everyone around you cares so tremendously. Far beyond what you can ever imagine. Anybody who is depressed, isolated or alone, I want them to think about this. Ask for help. Talk to your loved ones. Reach out. Please. This young man was fortunate to get his second chance. Learn from it. It's beautiful and amazing.
I met Dr. Rodriguez and he has such poise about himself. He does excellent work.
Wow this is single handedly the most impressive single surgery I have ever witnessed.
What a gift. I would have never thought that this would ever be possible in my lifetime. I @m bowled over with emotion. Please continue with your great work doctors. You are AMAZING!!
Wow, Cameron looks really good! I know the surgery isn't primarily about the appearance but it's astonishing how normal Cameron looks. He's actually cute! If I saw him out and about I might notice his scars but never suspect he'd had a partial face transplant. I've had friends with worse scarring from car accidents. Good luck to Cameron, I hope he stays healthy and enjoys a long rich life.
That's incredible! This is the best result I've seen of a face transplant. He looks pretty darn good post surgery!
