A 30-year-old Frenchman whose deformed face was replaced last year with a new one in the world's first full face transplantation is now living a happy and normal life.

A 27-year-old man whose face was disfigured by a genetic disorder has received the world's third partial face plant and is doing well, French doctors said Tuesday. The man, who suffers from a lesion-causing illness called neurofibromatosis, was given a new nose, mouth and chin and had portions of his cheeks replaced.

The 15-hour operation was the second partial face transplant that has been conducted in France, surgeons said. Dr. Laurent Lantieri performed the operation at Henri-Mondor hospital in the Paris suburb of Creteil
