A FRENCH surgeon said yesterday he has conducted a full-face transplant, including eyelids and tear ducts, in a rare operation on a 35-year-old man with a genetic disorder.

French doctors have performed a partial face transplant on a 27-year-old man in the third-ever operation of its kind.

DOCTORS who gave a French woman the world’s first partial face transplant have been accused of ignoring ethical advice by not trying normal reconstructive surgery first.
