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.
