PARIS — The Some people have referred to him as the guy with three faces.
Not only did Jérôme Hamon of France become the first person to have not just one, but two complete face transplants, but he also became the first person to receive this designation as a result of his pioneering procedures.
Laurent Lantieri, a physician at the Georges-Pompidou European Hospital in Paris, was the one who carried out both of the surgical procedures. It was reported that Mr. Hamon was recuperating in the hospital after the second surgery that he had undergone since the beginning of the year.
Neurofibromatosis is a hereditary disorder that may result in facial abnormalities. Mr. Hamon, a French bookseller, suffers from this neurological condition. After removing Mr. Hamon’s whole face in June of 2010, including his eyelids and lachrymal system, Dr. Lantieri performed the procedure.
