Vermont Woman Approved as Face Transplant Recipient

Vermont Woman Approved as Face Transplant Recipient. Carmen Tarleton, who’s already endured 50 surgeries after her ex-husband attacked her with a baseball bat before dousing her body with lye, would undergo the miraculous surgery at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. “I don’t want to have to always ask for an extra napkin. It’s those kind of everyday things. It’s well worth it to me. I have so little function in my face,” Tarleton said, hoping that she’ll be able to blink again. “… I’m hoping I look similar. Anything close is fine. Anything’s fine anyway.” [Seattle Pi]
