Kulp, the first woman in the United States to undergo "face-changing" surgery, died on July 30th at the age of 57. It has been 12 years since she had a face-changing operation, and she is the oldest person who has had a face transplant. Face-changing surgery has many hidden dangers, just like culp. Although her operation is very successful, she takes a lot of drugs every day to maintain the normal operation of the system and prevent rejection. Such a large number of drugs have serious side effects, such as diabetes, osteoporosis and renal insufficiency. And there is always the risk of fatal complications, so the best balance between new faces and other parts of the body is actually a very difficult thing. At that time, 46-year-old Kulp was dissatisfied with her husband chatting with other male customers, so Kulp (2004) was attacked by her husband Tom? Culp shot her face at close range at a distance of more than two meters. The bullet went through her face, causing her to lose an eye, nose, upper jaw and lower eyelid. The bones on her face were shattered by the gun, and almost half of her face was gone. She could not breathe and eat normally, and became a faceless person.

In order to regain a new life, Kulp underwent 30 facial plastic surgery to repair his face that was severely disfigured after being shot. In 2008, she underwent a face-changing operation at the Cleveland Clinic and implanted the facial tissue of a deceased female heart patient. Facial transplantation is very complicated. Twenty-two hours later, a medical team led by Dr. Simino and Dr. * *11performed an operation on her, and moved half of the donor's face, including nose, bones and nerves, to her face, accounting for 80% of the whole face, thus completing the first face-changing operation in American history.

Accepting a face transplant is tantamount to a life-and-death gamble. There are few cases in the world, which may even induce cancer. The strong criminal survived. Although her appearance has changed a lot, she still finished her life optimistically, hoping that the deceased would rest in peace.
