We’re not getting any younger, so on this week’s episode we’re discussing face transplants! Our expert is Dr Brian Gastman, one of the very few surgeons to ever perform a successful face transplant. We find out about the process of receiving a transplant, the ethical considerations, what’s needed from a donor and who’s likely to get one. Are face transplants the future of cosmetic surgery? Dr Brian Gastman will be giving us the answer. @EurekaPod <hr> Hosted on Acast.
