FORT WORTH, TX - UNDATED: Dallas Wiens with his daughter Scarlette at his grandparent's home in Fort Worth, Texas.
Dallas Wiens, a building worker badly disfigured in an accident, has received the United States' first full face transplant. More than 30 doctors, nurses and other staff at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital performed the 15-hour operation last week on the 25-year-old. Dallas, of Fort Worth, Texas, was left blind and without lips, a nose or eyebrows after an electrical accident in November 2008. Doctors transplanted an entire new face, including a nose, lips, skin and muscles and nerves that animate the skin and give sensation. The donor's identity was not disclosed. The world's first full face transplant was performed by doctors in Spain last March for a farmer who was unable to breathe or eat on his own after accidentally shooting himself in the face.
