      Is it really even effective? Sounds good but how do the tendons fuse and how well do the nerves work? I don't imagine someone doing much with those hands. Wonder how much the recipient looks like the donor. Bet it's fucked up for the donors family.

      The main problem in these type of surgeries is the problem of rejection. The immune system is suppressed for life time by using immunosuppressants to prevent the body from attacking donor parts. This affects the kidneys quite badly which could lead to situation of dialysis and kidney transplant!

      Go to a dentist. Hell go there every 6 months for checkup. It will save you major trouble in life. Because you can stop problems before they form. Cavities can be repaired naturally without drilling if they are not deep enough. Only a dentist can see it.
      However it’s EXTREMELY important to fine a good dentist. Because bad ones others will see cavities where there are none. There are pigments which can look like cavities but aren’t. Good dentists can differentiate between them. A good dentist prioritizes you having as much of your original tissue as possible.

      ​@@EthanSalter3 it doesn't look like the same face one it's transplanted. The natural structures underneath make it look pretty different on each person, so he won't be recognizable as the donor. Sometimes there are similar features but you wouldn't think he was the donor if he was just walking down the street.
      Also that puffiness goes away and the face gets a lot thinner and much less chubby after some time, so it will start looking natural once he's tightened up his nerves and muscles, and that will make it look even more different from both the donor and his old face. The donor is a hero and that part of him will take on a whole new life :-)
