The future of the past is unique in Richard Norris who did not live a normal life after being shot in the face when he was 22 years old.
Until very recently a plastic surgeon reconstructed his face completely.
Today is 39 years, much of his youth lacked the lower half of his face, jawline, nose and mouth were completely destroyed by the trauma of a bullet.
In 1997, Norris was holding a 12-gauge shotgun, an oversight blew half his face, an accident, defined by its mother.
After more than 15 years of the incident, he lived as a hermit with his parents in rural areas in Hillsville, Virginia.
His life changed when Dr. Eduardo Rodriguez, a plastic surgeon at the University of Maryland Medical Center, Norris chose to complete a complicated face transplant lasted 36 hours. Rodriguez and a team of doctors transplanted the face of a man who died at age 21, and now lives in Norris. He rebuilt the chin, lips and nose to measure.
Because the process was so risky surgery was a miracle and an unprecedented breakthrough in medicine.
The obstacles that Norris will face is the facial movement. His emotional recovery is still on track.
He will spend much of their time in hospitals, and out again to face interviews and photographers worldwide, foreign proposing know the skin of a man on the remaining scars from the old past to the present.
