FACE TRANSPLANT: Man receives new face and hands

Sky News has caught up with Joe DiMeo who has become one of the few people in the world to receive a face and hands transplant including forehead, eyebrows, nose, eyelids, lips, and ears.

The 22 year old was badly burned in a car crash in July 2018 after falling asleep at the wheel following a night shift at work.

Looking to the future, Joe told us he really wants to start driving again.
