About face transplants -- (re phrased)?
I`m sorry to anyone who thinks i asked about it for a cruel reason it wasn`t meant that way and i do feel for the people who would have them also i have a little bit of a clue how they feel .i had an accident last year and i was in a coma for a couple of weeks but it left my face paralyzed on one side for weeks so i know how horrible it feels when people stare
maybe the question should have been would having a face transplant affect a person psychologically ?
Answers:
Yes it could affect the person psychologically. That's why the ethics board that approved the upcoming full-face surgery did so only after the hospital explained it's full program for counseling of the patient afterward.
The hospital intends to have a psycjologist on call for this individual for perhaps as long as five years. This will be a difficult transition, as every time the person looks in the mirror he/she will be staring into the face of another. Surely this is going to be very disconcerting.
But in addition, this person will have to take immuno-suppresant drugs for the rest of his/her life. What happens if the person developes another disease? And what if the surgery isn't completely successful and the person does not like the new face -- or for some reason, it just doesn't turn out well. Again, these all create phychological difficulties that the doctors had to demonstrate that they's considered, and for which they've obtained professional counseling to assist the patient..
I think it would yes, I mean you've the risk of rejection and being on anti-rejection tablets for life which can increase risks of you getting virus's etc and types of cancer. Then you have the implications of looking in the mirror and seeing something you may or not like and the reaction of your family and friends. It's a major life changing event.
There are many people living in private hospitals who have been in fires and road accidents and are horrifically damaged and kept hidden from society, go ask them about this, it may be something they dream about and their hope for a new future, and they really would not care what people think about them just to have the chance to walk the streets again, think about that, please
Well, yes, of course it would, everything we do, feel, see and experience affects us psychologically, the question is really how much would it affect someone. Probably not as much as if they didn't have one though, if you need a face transplant, I reckon the chances of being affected psychologically without one would be more of a risk. Obviously depends on the person and their outlook on life as well. Still, Michael Jackson seems to have coped with a new face.
Yes. Worrying about what other people may think will cause you to have unpleasant thoughts; or worrying about how you look whenever you look at your face in the mirror.
I suggest for you to stop worrying and focus instead on getting healed.
