Isabelle Dinoire: The World's First Face Transplant

Available for over a year

In November 2005 doctors in France carried out the first ever face transplant. The patient, Isabelle Dinoire, had lost part of her face after being mauled by her pet dog. In a rare interview, Isabelle talks about how she has struggled coming to terms with her new appearance. Photo: Isabelle Dinoire at a press conference just months after her transplant operation.
