He went from only having a skull for a face to looking like a stroke victim. A really terrible terrible stroke, but that's absolutely amazing.
@Sychronix 2 months ago wow
1 second ago wow
@Kerry Smith yep haha
Honestly I rather just not have a face.
He could talk a little better before, but it's amazing how they did this,
look at him today, he looks just fine!! Its amazing
Amazing
You try speaking after an accident like that let’s see how you’d sound shall we
@@ljmcdonald2703 chill bro
@@ljmcdonald2703 I think he meant he spoke better before the face transplant. There was a video of Dwayne being interviewed right before the transplant.
man that guy makes me happy, as well does anyone else who's been seriously disfigured/injured and has been given a second chance of well-deserved, normal life, everyone should watch this video and stop and think about how good their life really is, people like Dallas have faced death, disfigurment and serious injury but have made it through and are living happy, joyous lives.
Just watched a more recent video of him from this year. Man has he come a long way.
He's married now and can speak a load better
You are so amazing. I really jealous of your daughter because she has dad like you! Thanks for giving energy
U R MY HERO DALLAS WIENS!! May God Almighty Bless U and give U the strength to move on--WE r with u 100 percent dallas
speechles...bravo...
commendable job by d docs...& to this guy..truly a warrior..
this is so great, i`m happy for him
Well done! Amazing work
Hey man, it's way way better than it was. If it's like the other ones I've seen then his face will get better.
I've never been as inspired by anyone as I am of him.
couple years back what they did here was medically impossible, who knows what might come up in advancements in the future, dont call it done just yet, the guys my age, still got plenty of years to go on him
Happy for him.
Beaucoup de courrage pour ce jeune homme !
This is a great story god bless you
Quel courage de dingue il a eu....Heureuse pour lui que la medecine lui ait redonné un visage 😍
God bless u ,sir. Ur an inspiration to everyone
Literally only know this because his daughter is my friend!
Are the mouth going to be like... alive or something after a while? Like they are moving when he is talking? So he can talk clearly?
wow that is amazing
when this becomes a well worked out thing for people that lost their face or at least most of it then the relatives of the donor might see their relatives face on a other person which might be hard to take
1:22 Wait a second. How did he play on computer if he cant see?
he can't see, he's lost his sight :(
@@brak1827 he said that, he's asking how he could play if he's CAN'T see
Watchu guys doing answering a 7 year old comment?
@@carpii0576 that’s how RUclips works sometimes the “Ancient ones” answer
Hé çant see bruh
@kooldaug It's the nerves, there is no control because some important nerves from the one side of the face were probably too damaged to be repaired.
@kooldaug I think it's because from the way his face is built, the way they had to attach the face added kind of a strange tilt in the mouth. Nobody is exactly the same, and this proves it.
I remember him
A true inspiration.
@Sychronix You are missing the point. The story is an inspiration.
@DLarson1083 the "fat" is post op swelling, if you look at the other videos of face transplants they all have the swelling in the neck and cheeks
Its a good thing he cant see because it maybe a shocking site to see what he looks like or what he did at one time look like,Hopefully after some time his vision can be restored after he's used to his new appearence so the shock of everything all at once would be a bit easier.
This is NOT an insult about his eyesight,its just my take on how much harder it would have been with having eyesight while disfigured and the shock of a new face is all I mean to say.
This may sound really bad but If i had the same face as he did i would've kept it how it was. First of all he could speak better (I know it gets easier to speak over time) and second of all it looks unique
That’s easy for you to say, you still have your entire face.
I totally agree. In fact, I can't believe scientists and doctors can be so seemingly dismissive about the fact that regardless of what people think, those who undergo face transplants, are basically wearing someone else's face. I wonder do the patients who undergo having someone else, who died, face placed on their own - do they ever think of the people whose faces that they have sewed onto their own flesh? Or not? It raises serious ethical questions.
How is he now?
Don't we know have the technology to give him the ability to see
On another video they state that with time, his speech will return to normal
I wonder if his facial hair grows and all that
He was young only 23. Wow I don't know he;s very strong.
Wow!
mucho respecto!!
is dallas wiens alive?
The DVabel could he qualify for the bionic eyes
God is on the throne Dallas
hes wearing a dad mans face radicallll
why is his mouth lop sided?
@CALICOTV301 you got that right
Yo, give George Winston his music credit
Thank you SCIENCE for this miracle!
no thank god instead
@@hypersonic6649 wow that was 11 years ago when I was a stupid atheist. Thank God I'm out of that trap. Sorry for my arrogance. May God bless you
@@paulosergio_92 That's amazing. May God bless you as well.
AGUANTE DALLAS !!
@CALICOTV301 Those are the same exact things I think of. I don't know if I would be able to go through this surgery for those reasons. Shallow? Maybe but, if I were a member of the donor's family, I don't know if I would be able to handle it. I dunno - I'm on the fence about either argument. It's an amazing procedure - life saving? Maybe, in some aspects but, it's not like a heart transplant or kidney transplant or something like that. Ya know what I mean?
Dababy ???
what does he have on his neck??
Andrei Benta it’s a Tracheostomy tube, it will help him breath.
I've b'n watch'n a few of these vids, I was watch'n the 1 on the 1st 1 ever done in the world in 2005 on a lady in France that had her face chewed up by a dog... Then I c'n another 1 on the same lady, so I clicked on it... She died in 2016 of cancer cus of the drugs she had to take so her body didn't reject her face. RIP... At least she got a few good years without people stare'n at her.
he looks like that fella from men in black
Lmao
I think they forgot his teeth
I couldn't believe it was real when I first saw the vid. Poor guy had literally nothing, no eyes or nose. Just a skull and mouth. It looked like a spoof.
He could speak better before surgery ngl no idea how his voice changed
They attached a completely foreign object to his skull, his muscles have to completely relearn how to move freely and his nerves have to adapt.
looks just like jon travolta in face/ off;)
didn't he talk alot better before...
I don't understand why they do this....no improvement visually and it's all droopy. Why not use a donor that actually FITS the recipient??!!! That face looks like it came from a man 5x his size. Doesn't make any sense. Either leave it or do it RIGHT.
I agree...
it was their first time doing this they will make improvements over time
to be honest that is quite scary...
i thought it is a broken face
@SuperGrinder2 no you wont lol
Ok it looks worse then before. No hate just my opinion.
Lmao... What?... Before he looked like a slender man... With that guys face... At least he looks like he lost his teeth...
XENON he had no face except for a gap where his mouth was. Now at least he has facial features
Because he has all of this new tissue that has no feeling yet, his lips, and he has to talk around them for now. He's kind of like a stroke victim at this point until the nerves generate and give him control of his own mouth, at which point he'll be able to talk without the slurring.
