Doctors in New York have performed the world's first successful face and double hand transplant.
Joe DiMeo, 22, underwent the 23-hour surgery, performed by a team of more than 140 healthcare workers last August.
A car crash in 2018 left Mr DiMeo with third-degree burns over 80% of his body. His fingertips were amputated and he lost his lips and eyelids.
Mr DiMeo says the operation has given him a "second chance at life".
