“This is the face I grew up with.”
Here's a video of Rebekah Aversano touching the transplanted face of her dead brother, now on a man named Richard Norris.
The encounter was filmed by 60 Minutes Australia.
Norris, 39, was severely disfigured after a shooting accident in 1997.

In 2012, he underwent one of the most complex face transplants in history.
It took 36 hours, and during the process he received teeth, a jaw, and even new tongue muscles.

Norris had only a 50% chance of surviving the operation.
But he elected to go through with it, saying he had "lived through hell", hiding behind a mask and only leaving his house at night due to abuse from strangers in the street.
