This morning the Las Condes hospital announced they are going to do the firs face transplant in South America to a 29 years old man who suffered an accident when he was 18 years old. However, the doctors said they have to wait for a donor.
The surgery will cost 120 thousand dollars but the hospital said they will assume the majority of the costs. The doctors that will participate also received advice from international experts.
The identity of the man is unknown but because of the transplant he has been in multiple exams.
