Dallas Wiens (2nd R), the United States' first full face transplant patient, speaks to reporters at a news conference at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts May 9, 2011. With Wiens are Dr. Elof Eriksson (L), Chief of Plastic Surgery at Brigham and Women's Hospital; Dr. Bohdan Pomahac, plastic surgeon at Brigham and Women's (2nd L); and Dr. Jeffrey Janis, from Parkland, Texas.
