Science For Good - Severely Disfigured Woman Receives A FULL FACE Transplant | PHOTOS

Joanna, 26, disfigured by a huge tumour received a new face during the country's second face transplant. Joanna was severely deformed by neurofibromatosis – a genetic condition that causes benign tumours to grow along the nerves.

Dr Adam Maciejewski, who led the 23-hour surgery last week, said he hopes the transplant of 80 per cent of the skin on her face will give her back those functions.

Jose Serrano, 10, of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, was losing time as life-threatening growth, lymphangioma, could stop him from breathing by putting pressure on his windpipe.

The growth is rough and scaly and often forms painful cysts. It extends across Jose's shoulder and restricts his movement.

The giant tumour on his neck could be cured after being prescribed Viagra. But it will not be safe until the cystic growth is smaller. Viagra, which is most famous for helping male impotence, has been discovered to shrink growths in children.   #See more photos after the cut...
