Isabelle Dinoire, the wold’s first non-filmic face transplant recipient, has released step-by-step photos of her recovery. The ones above have been tastefully edited by yours truly to try and prevent anyone screaming and running away from their computer, but you can check out the grislier version aqui.
Honestly, considering she got her face shredded by her dog Resident Evil-style and had it replaced with the face of a brain-dead organ donor, she’s looking pretty damn good. I mean, ideally you’d get to choose the face you wanted, maybe something in the recently-dead celebrity area (I’d go for Aaliyah).
But as they say, dog-mauled Frenchwomen on the brink of death can’t be choosers. All things considered, she could have gotten a lot uglier:

Her first order of business now that she’s fully recovered? Killing the shit out of her dog.

Except, of course, you CANT choose your face…
It’s just skin stretched across YOUR already existing bone structure so you will still pretty much look like yourself unless you also have extensive plastic surgery…

That Bible verse could be crafted into a new version of the ‘bones connected to the…’ song.
The assbone connects to the….jawbone.
The jawbone connects to the….carpet.
The carpet connects to the…..hospital.
The hospital connects to the….mortician.
The mortician connects to the…graveyard.
And so on.

Jeez. People it was a joke refering too an article on cracked. You’re reading way to much into it.

I’m so glad we have Cracked, so that stupid religious people and stupid anti-religious people can fight in the comments.

Oh…And we didn’t nail people to crosses, the romans nailed US to crosses jackass, the Jew’s killed Jesus also (with romans help, it was joint).
And yes, a guy did pickup the jawbone of one of your family members and killed thousands of men.
How does that make you feel eh?

Wow nick.
First of all, you go read the Bible.
I was kidding about killing her dog, the article said it, I was making a joke.
Also, God commands people to kill other people, so stop being a dick to everyone.
God also created the doctors who transfered the face, and you. He obviously screwed something up with you.

Actually the Romans nailed people up. the spike through-the-head & ass-jawbone slaughtering were done by Jews.
early Christians were just killed by lions in the arena.
of course, there eventually were the crusades… but that was done by the Catholics, who are basically just bastardized Romans.

Now I think Captain Jack Ellingsworth is the asshole.

I find John Travolta to make a mildly attractive female. I’d hit it, only for the stories he’d tell over breakfast the next morning. I want to get his feelings working on Stayin’ Alive.

Just work on not posting words or images or other things on the internet.
I think that’d probably work out the best.
December 17th, 2007 at 2:12 pm
I don’t blame you Monkey Pants. I’m usually an asshole, but this time it was supposed to be sarcastic. I thought that would come across because I placed it right after all the references to the most bad ass Bible verses article, but I’ll guess I’ll have to work on it.
December 17th, 2007 at 2:03 pm
Perhaps I’m wrong though.
December 17th, 2007 at 2:02 pm
It was the “you make me sick” comment that kind of discredits your sarcasm point. Sounded more like anger.
December 17th, 2007 at 1:54 pm
Lol. Is all i can say. These boards are so easy to “troll” on that I don’t even have to be trying and it works. Could you not tell that the whole Christians killing stuff was reference to another cracked article? Sarcasm, my friend, is a wonderful thing.
December 17th, 2007 at 1:35 pm
Hey Nick, how about not being an asshole. It doesn’t take a Christian to figure that out.
December 17th, 2007 at 11:27 am
Oh, so it was God who took someone else’s face and put it on her? The doctors just watched as she sat down and the new face implanted on it’s own.
And, way to go with the “plus her dog we gotta kill” remark. That’s totally christian of you to want to kill something…. Seriously, go read the Bible. You christans are really some sick fuckin’ people nailing people to crosses and nailing people’s heads to the ground and killing people with the jawbone of an ass. You make me sick.
December 17th, 2007 at 11:14 am
Nick.
God made her original face, and the second one.
Plus her dog we gotta kill.
Score one for God.
December 17th, 2007 at 8:37 am
I’m gonna take the low road on this one…..
Score one for science. Let’s see your “God” fix her face as well as science did!
