I don't think they've been doing them long enough to know. Technically there might not be too many issues considering the types of surgery around now. I think the biggest issue is the psychological impact on the patient - I am sure many people would not be able to cope as our appearence is so intrinsic as to who we are. Also I think it unlikely there will be many donors and it will be very difficult for the bereaved to come to terms with the possibility of a loved-ones face being used by someone else.

I had it done before..effects---sore throat....maybe cough up a lil blood....dangers...well, with any "procedure" there are dangers. ..but great advances have been made there!!!  Alternatives...Ummmmmmmm...x-rays and scans but from what I am told..not the same as actually looking..I suffered from heartburn for YEARS!!!!!!!!!!! So....I was actually in great relief after my scope...been on meds ever since and can eat anything I want:):):)

A plastic or reconstructive surgeon.  I had a scar that didnt heal properly and my surgeon excised all the old scar tissue and made a new "seam".  Its still pretty big scar, but not as ugly.

I've never even heard of it. I use her exercise vids, and I think they're brilliant, so going by those, her face thingy should be just as good. Keep going. Let us know how it goes.

Nov. 4, 2004 -- Balding men and women take note. Hair cloning -- the next hair restoration remedy -- is on the way.\n\nOK, it's not exactly cloning, although that's what it's come to be called. Researchers working to perfect the new technique prefer the term "hair multiplication."\n\nAnd no, it's not ready for prime time. Not yet, says Ken Washenik, MD, PhD. Washenik is medical director for Bosley, the giant hair restoration company that's one of several firms racing to bring hair multiplication to market. He's also clinical assistant professor of dermatology at New York University Medical Center.\n\n"There is no doubt it will be a tremendous breakthrough," Washenik tells WebMD. "It is the thing people have been waiting for. There have been so many remedies for hair loss that didn't pan out. This is one that really looks like it is going to happen -- and happen in the next few years."\n\nIt's not just hype, says hair researcher George Cotsarelis, professor of dermatology and director of the hair and scalp clinic, at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia. Cotsarelis consults for Bosley, but is not involved in the company's research program.\n\n"It is hard to predict whether they will be successful, but there is good evidence that will happen," Cotsarelis tells WebMD. "It is not quackery -- they are not charlatans. It is based on real scientific knowledge. But there are a lot of hurdles still to overcome."\n\nThe promise of early research often evaporates in the harsh light of clinical testing. Yet Washenik predicts that hair multiplication will be available for hair restoration in three or four years.

I hear it's pretty painful, but worth it, especially if you have breathing problems from it. I wouldn't do it if it's just a cosmetic thing.\n\nJust how big is your nose??????????

Probably alive, hopefully ill.  Then again, maybe he had plastic surgery to change his ugly face.

I love it!! But i'm kinda sad they changed the actor that plays the doctor, I thought the last was cuter.  Of course that was how that shows been going on for forever and five years, just keep changing doctors.

If the model-type was good at fellatio, I'd marry her and buy her a lifetime supply of breath savers, listerine, and eclipse "cinammon inferno" gum. And I'd see if I could get a dentist to do something about it. I think it would still cost less in the long run than plastic surgery for the fugly one.

I agree!  I am older too, and I've noticed the same thing.  HOWEVER, I'm not sure I'd choose the avatar with the wrinkles!  haha  I do wish they would give more choices on the faces.  There are lots and lots of choices on backgrounds and clothing, etc, but not enough on our actual looks.\n\nI guess you could upload your own picture, but I'm a little more private than that.

I agree with everyone else that Michael Jackson is the worst when it comes to plastic surgery, but Dolly Parton and Nicole Kidman look like they had too much face surgery.\n\nAs for some celebrities that need some work done on them:\nRosie O'Donnell (fat, ugly, and manly)\nHelen Hunt (tons of wrinkles on her forehead)\nKatie Holmes (talks out the side of her mouth)\nJack Black (fat and weird face)\nLawrence Fishborne (huge gap between his front teeth)\nOliver Plat (just plain ugly, and fat)\nCher (she just looks strange)\nAlanis Morissette (needs a nose job)\nOwen Wilson (also needs a nose job)\nElijah Woods (has big gap between front teeth)

I have 6 and I love them....I don't have to bleach anymore (except surrounding teeth to keep them matching) and my temperature sensitivity is gone.  And of course they are beautiful.  I highly recommend them!  If you want to see my before and after pics let me know.

I've been wearing glasses for about seven years now, I'm 18, and honestly I don't give a rats ass about what people think. I think that glasses are becoming in style now and you shouldn't be ashamed of wearing them if you need them. Though, not that I care about what others think, I'm trying to heal my eyesight the natural way, as laser eye surgery is not always a fool proof solution and is so expensive. I am going to use the Bates method to try and heal my eyesight, as I don't like relying on glasses to see, I want to be able to see clearly using my own eyes again. I want to wear sunglasses. I don't want to be restricted to not playing certain sports. For these personal reasons, I don't like wearing glasses, as they are crutches. I recommend you watch a DVD called "Yoga For Your Eyes" by Meir Schneider if you are interested in healing your eyes. Schneider was born legally blind and healed his eyes and is now able to legally drive without glasses. Good luck :)

Yes.  It's all downhill from now on.  If you can afford a face lift that can tighten it up, but only for a few years.

There's that face transplant in France, and there are the artificial ears in Italy that helped the son of one the American Olympic athletes. It's also worth remembering that penicillin came from an accidental discovery in Europe, and that Louis Pasteur did the pasteurization boogie there as well.\n\nPlease remember to capitalize the names of regions and countries in future posts, e.g. Europe not europe. Thank you.
