Enter your reply text here. OK

So if you get a zit. Is it yours or somebody elses. Inherit some aggressive pores!
Poping the new zit. Just don’t eat it like some seen on camera eating bugars. I used to think eating bugars was a myth till I saw it on t.v.

American society with lawyer thinking. When will this improve.

I had Acne and that was enough of a terror. Thankfully, all the drugs were coming out just as things were progressing on my face; Cleocin, Retin-A, Accutane. Unfortunately I went into Adult Acne. So now I get Chemical Peels. 30% acid on your face. 12 days of horror. Had 6 of them and they worked well.

So, Hear! Hear! for the face transplant. A person has a right to do what they wish to help improve their self esteem and social confidence. As long as you sign the consent form.

"It isn’t a matter of vanity, but of being accepted in society that is too imperfect to accept disfigured people smoothly."

Here! Here! I couldn't agree more.

Our eldest son has a mid-sized birthmark on his face that is precancerous. We have it checked each year and every pediatric dermatologist we've seen has counseled us to leave it as long as possible - forever would be ideal.

The sad fact that our culture discriminates against people with facial scars is well known and well documented and we've been cautioned about the impact even a one inch scar can inflict on a person. I can well imagine what severe burns would cause in terms of ostracizing an individual.

The consent seems for the most part on par with other transplant forms save for the fact that it is your face! How horrible to have to deal with blackening and such so publicly.

Thanks for posting this, it gave me a lot to think about.
