The first person to successfully receive a new face transplant
Richard Norris was 22 years old when he accidentally shot himself in the face. He doesn’t remember how or why it happened but his mother, who was just three feet away from Norris when he shot himself, witnessed the entire thing.
She was showered in blood and remnants of her son’s face as his nose, cheekbones, lips, tongue, jaw, and chin were blown off. All that remained was a his wide, brown, shock-filled eyes and a swirl of indiscernible flesh.
Despite this, he somehow survived, but his fortunate survival forced him to live with his unfortunate circumstances, his horribly disfigured face.
He lived like a hermit for 15 years, rarely leaving his house and even covering all of the mirrors in the house. He was miserable, when one day, his mother found a facial reconstruction surgeon from Baltimore named Eduardo Rodrigeuz.
