It wasn't just the face, that's the donor's hair, ears, everything. Pat was totally burned bald, both ears gone, no eyelids. Look up his before pic, the transformation is miraculous.
Man that donor saved so many lives after his own sorrowful death. He not only donated his heart, liver, and lungs, but also his FACE. That man is a true hero and will always be remembered. God bless him and his family.
That's why I'm a full organ donor. No sense in my organs rotting in the grave with me when they can save lives and the wellness of others after I'm gone. Please think of others. Please don't be selfish. Please be an organ donor.

This is the beauty of humans. A man who died gave his body to science who would save a man who dedicated his life to save other lives. I don't know if my sentences makes sense, but it truly touched my heart. Edit : wow, just wow, he's physically 90% himself again this is CRAZYYYYYYYYYYYYY. Major major respect to all the surgeons.
you can find the story of the donor, he was an amazing person. His eyes are similar, nose and mouth too. Patrick's face is still similar to the donor's face. The donor's face was from a young man, in his twenties and his mother met the Patrick. She cried of course, it still resembled her son's face. I hope no one forgets to thank him for helping this man, both should be commended.
The donor family are the most remarkable, empathic and kind humans on this sad planet. The medical teams that made this possible for Pat are far and beyond the best of the best!🙏❤️❤️❤️
He looks real good when u consider all he’s been through- a few days of overgrowth of beard stubble like when a guy needs a shave would add a nice natural touch to frame his face.
Yeah he looks like he has some sort of genetic problem or a deformity, that's what most people probably think when they see him on the street. Before he looked like something from a horror movie so it is an incredible improvement.
Beautiful. I am donating my whole body once I’m gone I have no need for it and look how it can live on! My heart can beat again in someone else my kidneys liver lungs can all have purpose again . My skin eyes etc can all go to people who need them. What use to they have after death if you do not donate?. Make sure if you are willing to donate your organs or body to help others live , You let family know of your wishes make a will or at least express what you want. Look at the good it can do🙂
sorry.. but i would hate it if my body got cut once i die.. n yes.. it will be of use.. in some way.. onxe my body mixes with the earth.. it will be of use in some form of energy.. just that.. it wont be of much use immediately.. but in the long run.. i dont really care about others.. in the end.. everyone wilk die.. so.. it doesnt matter anyway.. also.. even if i have to donate.. id only do it.. for.. maybe for a kid.. who hasnt lived long enough.. but i doubt my organs will fit for a kid..
Wow, Dr. Rodriguez is brilliant, a genius! Imagine that! The first complete face transplant in the world! That is truly a miraculous operation. Just think of how complicated it must be to reattach all of the blood vessals and nerves. It's amazing how the face has gotten color and how its gotten progressively tighter and hair grew back on the scalp. The only think that still looks a little off are his eyelids, but that will probably get better too.
@Rahul Khanduri why can't you just help educate instead of being so rude? You are clearly the idiot in this situation, not the other person. I hope you have a better day tomorrow.
The eyes are so jarring for me. I felt the same with the most recent face transplant story too. They say the eyes are the window to the soul, but I feel the donor’s presence still too. Not in a bad or disrespectful way, it’s actually very precious. I can’t even fathom the incredible emotional strength everyone involved must have. Much respect for them all ✌🏼♥️
I cant be the only one who got emotional about this hero. So much respect for him sacrificing himself in order to save lives, and almost Much much MUCH respect to the young man who donated his face and organs and his family.
Thanks to both Patrick for putting your life on the line (like many first responders do every day), to the person who's face was donated, and to the doctors and nurses who performed this operation. The world is a better place because of all of you.
Anyone notice what a great tibre this guy has in his speaking voice ? he'd make a great narrator for movies or voiceovers or even reading of childrens stories on a podcast ..... I really think his voice is mellow and calming
Dude this shit is what I watch when I need to lift my spirits, I love how happy him and his family seem after the transplant and its a reminder to not take the things I have for granted
He really does resemble his donor, but also his former self (before the burns). It's like a blend of features. Honestly, the science and the compassion that went into giving this man his dignity and pride back is astounding
I think he is the kind of man that, even after knowing the pain and misery of being that badly burnt and injured he was. Would still run in to a burning building if someone was in the need of help. A true Hero! And a man to really be inspired by.
Unbelievable.. He looks absolutely wonderful.. It is hard to even grasp that Doctors could do this operation and have it be so successful... What a wonderful gift to give this man..
Just amazing! What a comfort it must be to the donor's family, too, to know so much good came from his tragic accident. My son died 2 years ago of cancer and I would willingly have agreed to donating his organs as would he if it had been possible. I would urge everyone reading this to let your family know you'd want to save other lives if you died.
I’m just blown away by David’s family donating his organs, that alone is a wonderfully selfless act, but to donate something so intimate as his face, which is his identity, is incredible... you can even see on Patrick’s forehead a chicken pox scar that David had on his forehead, which is obvious of course but it’s so unbelievable how far surgery has come. This is such a great story
He deserves the goodness of life thats was a great happiness of a mom seen the face and other organ to provide a new life its god willing..happy for them.
He looks so much younger and better looking than his old self. Congratulations! You are such inspiration, it takes the resiliency of a giant to appreciate one’s life. You shown how we have the capacity to turn a tragedy into a greater faith
I know people disagree on many things, but how anyone could thumbs down a person's life changing miracle is beyond my understanding and quite sad, really.
One of the many true American hero's few people know about. He said in another interview he would do it all again to save that womans life in the fire. The donor and thier family are true American hero's also to give what they gave to this man. Shout out to both parties, its little things like this that give me hope for humanity, may God continue to bless them in thier ongoing journey.
This is the most amazing surgery I've ever seen. The Surgeons who performed the transplant are gifted with talent and skills that are not of this world. God bless this man and his family. And of course the medical team of the most amazing people on the planet.
And the mother of the donor, David, sadly passed away in 2018. God bless them, Pat and his family and EVERYONE that helped with any part of this miracle!
Please show this documentary to all the people who are thinking about taking their own lifes just because they feel sad.Does not matter how much you have to dig you will find always nice people and real friends on the face of this small planet...
Ninja Gamer Yes. the telomeres in the cells (which are responsible for aging) will continue shortening. he might have a slowed facial aging process because he doesn't seem to move his face all that much (so not many wrinkles i guess)
I really want to donate my hole body when I don't need it, but my face is my face, imagine my family knowing that other person is going to have the face of her dead daughter, god..
When I see chin hairs actually growing on his transplant face and the remarkable detail as he was healing -these surgeons were terrific and should be congratulated-and this gives mankind great hope. I wonder if Dr. Rodriguez is from an immigrant family?

What happened to the guy who donated his face ?
Did he donate after death or did he willingly donate his face while still using it?
Serious Aleks after death. He was a biker and died in an accident, and his wife donated his face.
@i am tree I was so rekt yesterday I couldn't think straight..
Now that I'm sober it makes sense that he died first
Serious Aleks loooool

They are ALREADY regenerating female genitals. Boys have the same basic human rights to physical integrity to a whole body as girls do.

It’s not even noticeable that he had a face transplant. Amazing
That's a lie
Its barely noticeable but gosh that's so beautiful to see this

I remember last time his teeth moved and his lips didn’t but now his teeth and lips move normally
Sad circumstances have turned into an amazing outcome. God bless you Patrick and your family too!
I cant be the only one who got emotional about this hero. So much respect for him sacrificing himself in order to save lives, and almost Much much MUCH respect to the young man who donated his face and organs and his family.
betcha if they'd let him, he'd suit back up and get right back on the old red ladder and get back to fighting fires. Well done man, well done.
or he has horrifying PTSD, who knows
In sorry but he would not do that he lived in dear for 14 years
Mike Anetsberger probably
he needs a break
If it were me I would choose not to return purely out of respect for the person who donated their face and not wanting to risk it getting burnt
What heroes Pat and Dave are along with their families. Great to see such amazing people like this! Rest in peace and never be forgotten Dave.
Best result of a face transplant I've ever seen. Thank goodness for the doctors who are perfecting this technique and the donors who make it possible.
another life saved by the progress :D

Not only does his transplant look amazing, I think he looks better than before. You can just see how happy and confident he is.
What a great ending to a story,not just his for him and the donors family also. Donors mom will still get to see her baby...
Can we all just take a moment to thank everybody that made this miracle happen?
The way his face looks is truly amazing..
This story moved me to tears :"-)
Dont blame you tbh its sad but amazing
you guys remember the movie in the 90's face off with jhon travolta. well here it is welcome to the future.
What a hero!! God bless him and the donor who helped give Pat his life back. 🙏🏻❤️
Wow!!! Patricks facial muscles has really formed into his Donor's facial tissue. Fascinating!!! A true Blessing.
This is really the best face transplant I ever seen! God bless the doctor, the donor and the man.

Holy shit the amount of self confidence he has. Much respect.

Miracle.. God bless you, Pat.❤️
Remember that this mans in his 40’s he be looking goood for his age
That surgeon is so soft-spoken and modest.
Amazing how his nose resembles his mothers and his sons.
I think it is because he still has his own bone structure under the new face.
