#98QBKiller Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Not bad considering what she looked like before. Technology has come a long way. Click link for full story: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/44096766/ns/today-today_health/t/chimp-attack-victim-reveals-her-new-face/#.TkQpIGH0fSs Chimp attack victim reveals her new faceCharla Nash can smell, eat again after receiving a face transplant After two years of living behind a veil, Charla Nash revealed on TODAY the new face that science has given her, a visage that replaces the one mangled in a vicious attack by a friend’s pet chimpanzee that left her without a nose, eyes or lips. That Charla survived the attack at all is amazing in itself. But the new face that Charla has shown the world seems nothing short of miraculous. Once again she has a nose and lips. Once again she may be able to do the simple things we all take for granted: to literally smell the roses, to taste her food, and to breathe through her own nose. Her first meal after the surgery: Eggs and cream cheese. “I’m beginning to feel my jaw and chin,” Charla told TODAY. “And I can move my mouth and smile. I still feel weak. But little by little I’m getting stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Wait, I thought Rise of the Planet of the Apes was fictional, not a documentary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick6 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Not bad. Pretty cool to see some of the amazing things technology can do. Can she not open her eyes yet? In the picture her eyes almost looked sealed shut and the article only mentions she can smell and taste again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#98QBKiller Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 This is what she looked like after the attack BTW: http://images.huffingtonpost.com/gen/117986/original.jpg It's very graphic so I won't embed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouvan59 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Can she not open her eyes yet?

If memory serves me I think the chimp ate them or at least part of them. It's amazing they were able to get her looking that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing they were able to get her looking that good. Hopefully this will dissuade people from owning them as pets. They're violent creatures and if they turn on you, you're ****ed. ---------- Post added August-11th-2011 at 03:58 PM ---------- Thank you. I saw it once.
