Man Recieves Successful Face Transplant

The second person in the world to have a face transplant tells his story fifteen years later. Mitchell Hunter was in a car accident when he was 21 resulting in the loss of his leg and face. Five years after the accident he decided to get a face transplant and became the first person in the United States to get an entirely full, new face. He is very thankful that he no longer gets a ton of stares when he goes out in public. 

As far as everyone else is concerned he's now just another normal face in a crowd of people. He feels completely healthy, almost as healthy as he felt before the accident. He was shocked with 10,000 volts of electricity which took his face and leg. He's now thirty five and looks back on the situation as something that made him a stronger person.
