When Dr. Siemionow announced in December 2005 that she had been granted approval to perform this revolutionary surgery, she was bombarded with media attention and moving requests from people wanting to know who would be eligible for the operation. In December 2008, it was announced that she had completed the nation's first face transplant. The story of Dr. Siemionow's groundbreaking and controversial pursuit is one of courage and hope and reintroduces readers to their own faces--triumphs of form and function, as she explains. The face in your mirror will never seem quite the same. AnnotationSurgeon Maria Siemionow details the amazing science behind the near-total face transplant she and her team performed at the Cleveland Clinic in December of 2008. While documenting the unbelievable complexity of the breakthrough procedure, and detailing her hopes for a full-face transplant in the near future, Siemionow includes poignant personal recollections of her remarkable career, which began in Poland and took her to the top of her male-dominated field.
