Chimpanzee mauling victim’s new face revealed

THE new face of a woman who was mauled by a chimpanzee two years ago has been revealed in photos showing a startling transformation.

The pictures of Charla Nash were first shown on NBC’s Today show and later released by Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, where she underwent face transplant surgery in May.

Nash, 57, did not appear on Today because relatives said that she was still too weak to do an interview. In a statement, Nash thanked all the doctors, nurses and other medical experts who helped her over the past two years.
