it possible for victims of facial trauma to live a very normal life. Facial
transplantation is a complicated procedure and needs to carried out by a very
experienced team of surgeons. The tissue which has been damaged, scarred or
burnt are removed and are then replaced using tissues from a very suitable
donor. The donor is chosen keeping in mind the blood type, tissue type, size so
that the transplant gives successful outputs. The transplant needs to be carried
out very carefully so as to prevent any complication such as infections due to
rejection, surgical complications, blood clotting, excessive blood loss which
can eventually result in the death of the recipient. Also the recipient needs
to take anti rejection medicines throughout their life so as to prevent the
infection due to rejection. However these medicines can cause a serious damage
to the kidneys so a doctor needs to be consulted before opting for any such
transplant. BLK Hospital which is the best hospital in India provides

required to take life long anti rejection medicines which may have a bad impact
on the kidney and other organs. Hence it becomes necessary to consult the
doctors to know about the pros and cons of the face transplant.
