good for him , hope he is happy

Aw... Bless! Wishing him a bright future. Congrats to the surgeons for their skill.

best wishes mate

Thank God for advances in medicine. Good luck for the future Agar.

It's gotta be a bit freaky, waking up and finding that you look like a 45 yr old, freaks me out most days and i've had 45 years to get used to it.

That said, i expect he's pretty made up to actually have a face, or he wouldn't have needed the transplant in the first place.

Hope it worked out ok for him, I think i'm going to keep an eye on this story, Im'e very interested to see how thet are doing with connecting up the nerves and making it function as a face rather than just hang there like a little fleshy mask, last time i looked making nerve tissue play the game was a real sticking point.

I wish you all the benefits that medical science can possibly give you Ugar.
To the detractors on this page, I hope you never have to face what this boy must have been through!!

often i wonder what kind of people are parents producing. the comments about the teenager are just cruel. he is a teenager for heavens sake. Imagine if your face without any human skin...just imagine. this young man is delighted to be able to integrate back into society..he will be able to lead a normal life...hopefully...without nasty comments from people on here.

best wishes and a bright future.

It's amazing how far science has come in the last decade.

What a Brave Man! Good luck to him, and I wish him all the best.

This is such an uplifting story. He looks great considering it's early days yet. I wish Ugur very best wishes for his future. Amazing what the medical teams can do - good luck to all their continued success.

wishing you all the luck in the world

And people post on Yahoo that Turkey is a 3rd world country!!

Good luck Agar, dont let the morons worry you. Go out, be yourself and enjoy a great, usefull and prosperous life. You deserve it.

I wish you well.

sick people on here,,,,good luck to you ,,,well done to the surgeons

This is one of the best I have seen, I know there havent been that many but this is far less mask like, and when movement is regained I bet it looks smashing, a whole new start and hopefully less people to stare. Best wishes for the future.

Congratulations to the team and my sympathies to the donor's family. I hope the get some comfort to know how their loss has been able to give this man so much.

Its amazing what these surgeons can do and not given enough credit for it...Hope all goes well in his recovery!!

Am absolutely delighted for the guy , I hope it heels up for him but a wife I don't know my brother has a minor thing wrong with him he has a cleft,lip and pallet and is treated like dirt by 99 percent of people it has affected him so bad that he barely goes out anymore I feel so bad for him because he's so ashamed of being tormented about it he won't even talk about it I just hope the same doesn't happen to Ugur ,I think it's about time we started treating all people like people regardless of looks,race,gender and sexual preference imagine how much more amazing the world would be I really hope he is happy after all that and doesn't end up like my brother.........
