Cameron Underwood, a 26 year-old man from Yuba City, California, travels across the country to enroll in NYU Langone Health’s preeminent Face Transplant Program after suffering a severe facial injury. In January 2018, Eduardo D. Rodriguez, MD, DDS, chair of the Hansjörg Wyss Department of Plastic Surgery, and the Helen L. Kimmel Professor of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery, performed the most technologically-advanced face transplant, replacing much of Cameron’s upper, mid, and lower face and jaws -- ultimately allowing Cameron an extraordinary second chance at life. Cameron’s story culminates with meeting his donor’s family in an emotional reunion, which takes place less than a year after the life-changing transplant was performed.

Holy cow... the mother that just lost her son, the first things she said to Cameron's mom was "Thank God for you, I'm so happy for you, thank you for letting my son live on". I cannot imagine even for a millisecond what anyone in this situation feels like, but her courage, faith, and love is pouring out of herself freely and I pray that our Loving Father will restore her mind, body and spirit so she can enjoy life again.

The mother of the donor has to be one of the most courageous women I’ve ever seen. Wow. She had just lost her son when she embraced Cam and his mom and wholeheartedly wished them well.

That woman who just lost her son and greeted them like they were long lost family was absolutely beautiful. What a stunning person.

“Thank you for letting my son live on.” I’m gutted - can’t stop crying. God bless that dear woman.

‘Thank you for letting my son live on’ that was so Fucking beautiful I can’t even comprehend what a great soul she is.

The donor's mother humbles me. What a generous, selfless spirit.

"Thank you. Thank you for letting my son live on."

"Thank you for letting my son live on." Wow. That moment got me. So many different ways the meeting could have gone and this mother chose the most beautiful outlook.

He looks incredibly similar to the way he previously did. With the sunglasses on, you can’t even tell. With years of speech therapy it will be almost unknown.

Honestly, I'd like to see how is Cameron now a days three years after his surgery. How his routine is, how much he was able to control his facial expressions, how much his scars have disappeared or even if him and his family have been keeping contact with the donor's mother and what's her views on the whole thing.

He looks really good. They did an amazing job. The donor's mother had such incredible strength and love. What a beautiful story. I wish these families well.
