  • NYU Langone Health patient and myFace Star, Cameron, had a face transplant in January, under the leadership of Dr. Eduardo D Rodriguez, MD, DDS.
    myFace supported Cameron throughout this journey by providing travel and housing for his many trips back and forth between CA and NYC and more than 150 nights of free housing for him and his family while on extensive stays in NYC for pre-surgery, surgery, recovery and follow-up. myFace also supported his rehabilitation, including speech therapy, orthodontics treatment, nutrition counseling and psychological support services.
    Cameron and his brother Aaron, shared some of their experiences and what myFace meant to them.

      Yeah kiss my ass a second chance. Just look at the way he talks and blinks his eye. Nothing can replace your features. Beside, he has to take Anti-rejection drugs for the rest of his life which leads to infections and other complications. I don't know it's not my business and I don't know what he has been through if it's really worth it. If I ever decide to commit suicide, I would make sure that I don't come back cause in that case, death is way better than living

    Happy for you! As time goes on, will your facial muscles get stronger, allowing your speech to get stronger? Just curious. I have no problem understanding a word you’re saying; but it would be great to gain unlimtrd improvement. Have an awesome life and feel the love out here for you!

    • @Uchihasasuk5
      @Uchihasasuk5 2 роки тому +8

      Depends. The nerves have to be properly connected up by the Drs and his body has to figure out how to strengthen those new nerve connections up- though nerves are very hard to regrow. He may not gain full movement.

    Before I saw the title I saw the thumbnail and my brain immediately thought "whoa hang on there is something fishy about that face" it was weird, like I got uncanny valley vibes from it.
    Then I read the title and was like oooooooooh okay. Actually that doesn't look half bad then.

      Some people lose all or part of their tongue when they lose their face. That will impact speech even with a transplant. Cameron's tongue remained intact, though. I'm sure he'll have speech therapy in the future.
