Face Facts

The amazing story of Connie Culp is one of the most incredible medical breakthroughs of our time. Culp was shot in the face with a shotgun by her husband. The blast shattered nearly every bone in her face.
Doctors made Culp the first receipient of a face transplant.
Doctors also did a near complete remake of her senses, she can smell and taste again but her vision is poor.
In addition to that, now Culp can smile and talk again as well.
Despite her horrible trials Culp still has her sense of humor and has become an inspiration to burn victims and other people with disfigurements.




The swelling in her face will go down and eventually she'll rebuild the muscle around her mouth so she can eat and talk more normally.

The incredible work done by these doctors makes me wish I had devoted my considerable genius to helping people instead of making boob jokes on some dumb blog.
