When Lilly Ross' husband took his own life, she decided to donate his face to a needful recipient, so that he would leave a positive legacy. Report by Ferdia Carr.
Can't imagine how the wife felt, losing her husband whilst she was pregnant...The boy will never get to know his father but he will see his face at least❤
His speach is so clear! I followed his story for a while and can't belive how well he adapt. I am happy for him, but also very sorry for the loss of the woman. Huge respect for her meeting him, I think it must be very difficult.
My God. Hats off for sure to the surgeons who were able to give back his life. Absolutely amazing job reconstructing the bones of his face too. Not just the skin part. Incredibly satisfying for them I imagine. 56 hours is a long time in surgery for them. Glad everyone came through it well. Thumbs up for all involved.
My boyfriend passed away two years ago. There wasn’t an option for donating his face, if there were and it gave someone else a new life that would have been a beautiful thing. However, I honestly don’t think I could handle meeting the recipient.
That's an honest answer...and I think it would be hard for anybody to deal with that, yet still a good gesture to help someone else to live a healthy long life , although unfortunate, it is good thing...and this guy came a long way...these doctors are doing miracles.
Juliette Coates : I feel exactly the same. I find this a bit eerie, but a beautiful gesture of giving and a great gift. I hope the transplant worked - that the receiver’s body did not reject it.
Same thatd be too much for me.. Even though it is an amazing thing to do, dont know if id be able to see it... Im so sorry honey about your loss. My boyfriend is eveything to me. Hes my bestfriend. Even the thought of losing him makes me almost have a panic attack.. Hes been with me through everything hes all i have now.. My parents overdosed recently and hes all i have now. Youre so strong and im sending all my love your way.
I can't even imagine how she must feel ,or him for that matter. Holding the child of the man's face youre now wearing. They're both strong people and I hope that Life blesses them with happiness.
I wonder how Lilly Ross been doing?... she’s a amazing, doing it all on her own with their beautiful baby.. she does look strong somewhat. Wish what happened to him didn’t happen. I hope one day she’ll find someone someday, maybe she did! Such a sweet person she is! So giving that she did for transplant recipient!
He looks perfectly fine ! Usually the face transplant people look really quite bad unfortunately... but he looks really normal . Weird thing , but he a actually looks better than the guy that actually had the original face !
This story really, really got to me. Just heartbreaking. They didn't provide a lot of details about the husband, Rudy's, suicide but that young woman was only 19 years old and 8 months pregnant when it happened. I just can't imagine. So brave, but then, she didn't have a choice. We can all count our blessings. She lost her high school sweetheart/husband/father of her baby at such a young age. Life is not fair.
It's amazing how well this transplant worked out, I watched a video ages ago just after he received the transplant and yeah sure it was a drastic improvement to the poor guys appearance but it looked a bit like a mask his mouth and lips really had no movement and he couldn't talk properly, but now it looks like the face belongs to him his mouth and lips look normal and his speech is great, even the scarring doesn't look bad, this type of surgery has come so far in the last 15 or 20 years, makes you wonder what will be possible in the coming decades.
This is so heartbreaking, I'm glad he's able to find use and have a better life. But this is really sad... They could stop playing the background music and maybe it wouldn't feel so sad...
*this is insane* .. why would you ever put yourself through meeting the person.. yes it went to someone who needed it but it would be soo heartbreaking at the same time and i would imagine youd feel a sense of closeness.. like dude "i once kissed those lip and those cheeks" as if you wouldnt want to be close to this guy because in a way its part of your husband that you lovedddd.. i know id find it hard to ever part from this man after meeting him if he had the love of my lives face.. 💔
Bella Garcia they meant being proud he helped someone else have a life that they aren’t ashamed of. Yes he won’t be in his sons life but he helped someone else live their life in a way they feel proud of. So you misunderstood what they were trying to say
This is a brave thing to do but I can't imagine how her child will feel seeing his dads face on someone else and no matter how old he will be ,that is alot to deal with .
It's gotta be weird. Kinda reminded me of RoboCop. When the wife talks to him and he responded it's not him, but something they made in his honor..or something like that
No I don't. But obviously you are not aware of such a thing as boundaries. It would be unhealthy for so many reasons...for him for her for the child..I could write a thesis on the topic. Not sure why people are allowed to meet the family of donors. VERY VERY bad idea.
well when your midle aged and lonely and have all these fukin problems like for example not having a FACE. Just being able to make someone happy is the idea of love, you should delete your comment.
People being weak pussys that cant get their way and think everyone is so mean is the issue. People are weak nowadays and need their asses beat more often as children. Both these men are pussys.
Her husband died of suicide, and he saved the life of a man who has attempted suicide. Amazing.
How did the donor committ suicide?
@@qwerttzizzi it doesn't say in the video, but it says his face was donated after he took his own life.
👏🏻
This is one of the most successful face transplants I've seen
Shirley Succubus it is definitely the best one. He’s actually attractive.
Cameron Underwood also had a very good face transplant. The story is the same as Andy. But Cameron can't speak so clearly
yes sir
His face transplant looks amazing! Well done!
This is the best face transplant I’ve seen if I saw him in the street I wouldn’t think anything of it. Credit to the doctors who worked on this
Can't imagine how the wife felt, losing her husband whilst she was pregnant...The boy will never get to know his father but he will see his face at least❤
You can do that with photos.
Thats the best face transplant ive seen so far and the fastest recovery, brillant.
He's really nice looking, it was clearly an absolutely perfect match
His speach is so clear! I followed his story for a while and can't belive how well he adapt. I am happy for him, but also very sorry for the loss of the woman. Huge respect for her meeting him, I think it must be very difficult.

This is how sad and happy feels like in the same time.
Oh, bless her heart..and I'm so glad for the man whose new face has given him a wonderful life now.
He looks great. Very natural.
His speech perfect
This is something so sad... But at least she did the right thing.
what a brave woman.

How long does it take to pass?
Woah that’s an awesome job the doctors did with the face transplant
See I didn't want to cry; now I'm crying. This man now has something to live for. God bless this young family and this young man.
I can't even imagine how she must feel ,or him for that matter. Holding the child of the man's face youre now wearing. They're both strong people and I hope that Life blesses them with happiness.

Damn whoever did his surgery needs to do everyones. His looks very good.
Amazing, she is an amazing person, thank you for saving all of the recipients.
I’m just so happy for everyone in this video.
What a gift to give and to receive.
He looks perfectly fine ! Usually the face transplant people look really quite bad unfortunately... but he looks really normal . Weird thing , but he a actually looks better than the guy that actually had the original face !
Those are the kind of news stories I like.
Bless you both !
Why are people saying they should get together ffs absolute madness
Not the first time that face has been buried in her booty!
@@Mtb-cp6gz for real, dude? Get a life.
@@Mtb-cp6gz Human garbage
@@Mtb-cp6gz Wow, a new low. Disgusting comment.
How awesome and great job on that surgery

How profoundly touching. May God bless them all!
Brave for the both nicely handled. Goodluck to both .
I love what science has done wow..
Bless you Lilly.
Wow this transplant fits and works perfectly
Brilliant. God bless.
He looks the best of all the face transplant recipients .
Even though your guy got hosed, you can rejoice in that his face lives on. All the best. You go, girl!
Wow bud your doing great and this changes life for a lot of other people
Such a wonderful story.
They are getting so much better at face transplants.
Incredible!

the fact that both guys, the guy who donated and received, _both_ committed *suicide*
AuReb one succeeded
He’s so handsome! Xoxo
This is crazy, in a way she sees her late husband alive.
Congratulations to donor s family and donor who worked the muscles and had second chance.
I just pray that this miracle that you have received from the graciousness of this man's wife God loves you he has not given up so don't you give up
That's 100% crazy.... and probably one of a kind with the suicide link.
Great job
I am a transplant recipient and an organ donor. I tell my family to also donate my face because I have a cute face!
He looks so normal actually handsome!
I would love a hug from her two
This is so heartbreaking, I'm glad he's able to find use and have a better life. But this is really sad... They could stop playing the background music and maybe it wouldn't feel so sad...
Amazing
I like your new face, it is not too puffy and fits perfectly on your frame....it looks so natural... and now it is yours, son....
Wow amazing 😍
This man now has a better looking face than he used to before his accident.
You dont accidentally shoot yourself in the face during a suicide attempt. Fool
Crazy story. Very touching though
Such a great accomplishment ! Let’s not forget to give God the credit who gives Doctors the wisdom how to use the knowledge they have !
wow how do you process something like this
What most scares about this is the high suicide rate in the USA.
Wow it only an amazing surgical procedure he now has a very handsome face!!! Praise Jesus!
He's all handsome now xD
Looks like Chris Partt's brother now❤
This is amazing,but I personally could not know that my husband is gone,but Im looking at him in a way.. torture
*this is insane* .. why would you ever put yourself through meeting the person.. yes it went to someone who needed it but it would be soo heartbreaking at the same time and i would imagine youd feel a sense of closeness.. like dude "i once kissed those lip and those cheeks" as if you wouldnt want to be close to this guy because in a way its part of your husband that you lovedddd.. i know id find it hard to ever part from this man after meeting him if he had the love of my lives face.. 💔
"...being proud of what his dad did?" you mean...how the guy opted out of his son's life forever?
Bella Garcia they meant being proud he helped someone else have a life that they aren’t ashamed of. Yes he won’t be in his sons life but he helped someone else live their life in a way they feel proud of. So you misunderstood what they were trying to say
This is just unbelievable. No, really, I do not believe it.
This is a brave thing to do but I can't imagine how her child will feel seeing his dads face on someone else and no matter how old he will be ,that is alot to deal with .
lol Clark he’s never seen his father so he won’t know it’s his dads face until he gets told when he’s older
I hope to do the very same someday when I die
It's gotta be weird. Kinda reminded me of RoboCop. When the wife talks to him and he responded it's not him, but something they made in his honor..or something like that
amazing face swap wow
He should have turned all the lights out and ran in the room shouting "Booooo"
I wander how these face transplants age like if you had one twenty years ago if you still look the same
failed suicide is one of the sadest things in this anyway meaningless life.
Life isn’t meaningless. People just fail to see where there is meaning. It’s everywhere. Helps if people focus on things other than themselves
I thought she was punching him in the photo.
Maybe he can be dad for the kid? It would be the perfect ending _ beginning
how cant this not be scary and heart breaking to her,,,,,,and for him to look in the mirror and see another person face..
why did her husband kill himself?
Why does anyone? Hopelessness, depression, etc.
Her fanny absolutely stank.
Stupid question
in the thumbnail looks like she is punching him
Science is the real GOD
....crying buckets full
I wouldn't ever mention the father to the little boy. He killed himself, move on, forget about him, please quit dwelling on the sadness.
First
Hell no
i can see them as a couple in the futre
That's sick.
whats wrong with you. do you find the idea of love sick ?
No I don't. But obviously you are not aware of such a thing as boundaries. It would be unhealthy for so many reasons...for him for her for the child..I could write a thesis on the topic. Not sure why people are allowed to meet the family of donors. VERY VERY bad idea.
well when your midle aged and lonely and have all these fukin problems like for example not having a FACE. Just being able to make someone happy is the idea of love, you should delete your comment.
@@ben_jamin160 just stop it . It would be insane and it wont happen
So many people committing suicide. The economy I feel is to blame.
Maybe loneliness and crappy relationships, or no relationships
People being weak pussys that cant get their way and think everyone is so mean is the issue. People are weak nowadays and need their asses beat more often as children. Both these men are pussys.
They should get together now lol
Exactly I thought that lol
Dont be stupid
Just no
The420 Executioner good old memories I’m just saying lol
David Wasicek why?
Stop with the sob story. You’re the one who did it to yourself
Freaky
Wth...this is creepy
They should hook up
Keep on rollin just take your fake trolling account and move on
Disgusting
How so?
This isn't a story about a face transplant. This is a story about what's happening to Western men whose sisters and daughters do not love them enough.
Shut up
That's messed up, it's not like knowing his heart is beating and keeping someone alive, it's his ejaculation face plastered on another guy.
