On October 25, doctors at the Royal London Free Hospital were licensed to perform an entire human face transplant surgery. The doctors will choose the four most suitable patients to perform the most special surgery in this world. Donors and recipients must have the same skin type, blood type, age and muscle structure.

Unlike the partial face transplant of French Isabelle Dinoire, in 2005, to perform surgery on the entire face, doctors will have to take the muscles, lips, ears, nose and all the facial skin from donors while other doctors must remove damaged skin and muscles on the patient's face.

The two groups will then implant the healthy face skin on the patient's face, connecting the veins and veins until the facial skin is pink, the sign of blood has reached the transplanted cells. The complexity is that doctors must connect all nerves and blood vessels in the face with newly implanted skin and muscles so the surgery is expected to take up to six months.
