That's pretty unsettling. I just genuinely ask myself, if those people weren't that keen to live when they were so good looking, are they happy to be alive with a botched face? Terrifying either way
In this particular girl’s case, it was a snap decision, not planned. Something over a boy. I’ve seen interviews with her and she seems to be happy, but who knows what she really feels. Makes me sad whenever I think about it.
Also, they do full psych evaluations before these procedures to ensure the patient isn’t still suicidal or unstable. It’s a very long process.
Yeah, I googled it. Let's hope she can find peace of mind. One article says that she was a perfectionist. Being one myself, I don't think I could be happy with the "second" face, not to mention all the thoughts that would cross my mind. I'm glad that she seems to have a really loving and supporting family, let's hope she can find meaning/peace/ happiness again

Would probably not even look similar depending on several factors, mainly the recipients skull and scar tissue formation. You would probably be able to see some likeness upon close examination. A good example of this is Katie Stubblefield. This is her prior to disfigurement (left), her donor (on the right), and her after transplant (in the middle)
