This is so awesome to see! I went to high school in cave city Arkansas with aaron. I don't think anyone who knows him would say a single bad thing about him. He and his family deserves this.
I cried watching this.. We people complain about little things, crooked teeth, big nose etc. Respect to Aaron for having the will and strength to deal with this. Respect to his wife for being there and not leaving him. Respect to all doctors & nurses for doing the impossible, possible! ❤️
I'm disabled now and need care from my husband i thought I'd be giving him one day, but it has brought us so much closer. I pray Aaron and his wife continue to find such love in their days together. 🙏
This man has an amazingly positive attitude. And his wife deserves to be recognized for standing by her husband through this entire ordeal too. It had to be a rollercoaster of emotions. They appear to be a very loving, strongly committed couple. I wish them both an incredible life together.
All of those doctors, surgeons and nurses are insanely talented who came together for this man and prepared for so long. What an amazing thing to see!❤
The very first hand and face transplant was done on a man from Clark, NJ named Joe DeMaio. His car flipped over and caught on fire when he fell asleep after working overnight. The drs did an amazing job on Joe's face and hands. I knew that Joe would make world news and now the drs have helped more people like Aaron. God Bless.
I honestly find this as profoundly moving as anything I've seen in recent years. It's so, so awesome to see human ingenuity and creativity and skill come together to deliver such a positive impact on someone's life. We humans can do so much good when we put our minds to it. Of course, we can also do so much bad, but I'd like to think that the people who desire to do good are in the majority.
It's a miracle he survived that. Im glad his family is amazing too. Hope the medications, he must take, so the transplant doesn't gets rejected, are not significantly cutting his life short.
Beautiful story and result in my opinion. As an electrician myself, I hope they can prevent similar accidents from ever happening again. I'm not a high voltage electrician, but I do know similar stories.
I'd like to thank this amazing hero and soldier,warrior, and survivor and beautiful wife. For being there through her husband's hardship and recovery and those amazing surgeons and nurses.
Best wishes to Aaron and his family. It's awesome that Dr. Rodriguez and his medical team could do this for him and to the donors families. Thank you to Aaron and all the Veterans for your service!
This is amazing. What a great team of doctors and family and friends who supported him through it all! God was watching out for him and will continue to do so. I live in Arkansas and have all my life. I hope he gets his vision back in his left eye. I know all too well what it's like to only see out of one eye and I've never known anything else. My right optic nerve was damaged from a stroke I had in utero. I'm completely blind in my right eye. If I didn't have my left eye, I would be completely blind. While there is nothing anyone can do for my blindness, I hope he can get his vision back. I've asked a relative who could see out of both eyes and then lost her vision later on whether she she would have rather been blind and not know anything else or be able to see and then loose her vision. She said she would have rather not have had her vision because she knew what she was missing out on. Whereas, I have never known anything else.
this is.... i dont even know what to say. almost impossible things happen nowadays. first the pig heart transplant, the kidney grow in a pig embryo in china, the ape with two different genetics in one creature, and now this. this is outstanding
Oh God Bless him and all his family. I’m from Greenbrier Arkansas and I’m so happy to see this part of the United States. Arkansas is a great place to live.
This is amazing! My 1 year old was born without eyes (but luckily has her optic nerves). If she could even get 1 eye transplant it would change her life. I wonder if it would even be easier because the nerves from her eye to optic nerve to her brain would not need to be re-written, it would just be like a baby opening it’s eyes for the first time.
Wishing speedy recovery to the patient and praying to God for his wellbeing. Congrats to the team of doctors and surgeons who performed this miraculous surgery procedure 🙏🙏🙏
@@jemandjemand2362 a speedy recovery means a faster recovery than usual. My stepfather recovered from a brain bleed several times faster than my biological father. So yeah, recovery times differ. A lot. Some can be up in a couple weeks, others can take several months.
Wow he looked really amazing at the end! What a world we live in that can construct a face for someone like that. I had Jaw surgery almost 6 years ago and they had to cut my face just below my nose all the way across and reset my jaw.
Humanity at its best. Consider what our civilisation could be if we applied the principles and compassionate stance seen in Aaron James’s case to geopolitics at a universal scale.
My brother lost his both eyes due to mucormycosis at the age of 27 on dec 2023. The doctor removed his both eyes. Can you trial once again on him. If he get only one eye then, he lived his life happily ❤ please reply
Wow that is amazing. I lost a leg above the knee in 2018. I wish they would do leg transplant. I have a crack at it and hopefully they can learn something from that.
With face transplants why are they having difficulty getting the lips (especially upper lip? to work properly? I’ve seen other face transplants and similar issue, the lips don’t move. I’m just curious if it’s a nerve thing or a muscle attachment issue?
I think he looks dope with some face scars and an eyepatch. I wouldn’t guess he had a face transplant if I met him in person. Also, I think he looks like a Picasso painting now ❤
Incredible surgery guys my mother has macular degeneritive surgery she's gradually going totally blind, if his eye actually begins to have real vision please I beg you find my mother some donor eyes
I seen this was posted 6 months ago, so I was hoping this was an update in 2024 on Aaron, but just a recap. Been following the original story so really nothing new in this video.
Please please please speak with Dr Sanduk. Ruit in Nepal he is director of the Institute of otopthamology in nepal India he has done thousands of eye surgeries and has given all sight.Nepal has about 90 percent of blind living there he has tons of experience he can help.he can give good advise also.

This tells me he has a fighting chance, bless him and his family! 🙏
Good luck Aaron,
Nice. May he enjoy his life
"We're gonna do this together!" Healing is not just the talented medical professionals, but the support system as well.

Everyone in this is beyond amazing...Aaron, family, friends, physicians, nurses, staff, donor, donor's family. What a medical miracle.
Amazing story, Aaron is a true hero of the spirit inside.
This does not look like a face transplant. It is the best I have ever seen. He just looks like he has a few scars.
So true. Aaron looks amazing!
yeah. we have seen worse

That’s amazing for Aaron and I’m happy he’s on the road to “normalacy”. May the donor rest in peace. Their gift will be forever remembered. 🙏🏻

All the best to this man Aaron. What a life altering ride for him.
The facial transplant looks amazing.
You guys have beautiful hearts! Bless Aaron and keep him safe!

The end result looks incredible. It looks like he never had one done.

There is so much sad news in this worl and media sometimes its sooooooo good to see an amazing story like this.

He deserves it!Thank you for your service!
He is blessed by god to have a wife and family to help him in his hour of greatest need!!.❤️🙏🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing this Such an awesome person. Wishing for his continued success
Adult stem cells injected into the optic nerve; that would give incredible hope for millions of glaucoma patients
yeah. bacuse glaucoma is not just the high pressure inside the eyeball, which destroys the nerv... and its totally treatable nowadays -.-

why a speedy recovery? whats the haste in those things? a wound needs 21 days to heal. so there is no speed in it
@@jemandjemand2362 a speedy recovery means a faster recovery than usual.
My stepfather recovered from a brain bleed several times faster than my biological father.
So yeah, recovery times differ. A lot. Some can be up in a couple weeks, others can take several months.
Such courageous bravery , from all involved. ,,🙏
Very exiting story. Amazing job. Salute to the doctors.
Let's hope that no matter the outcome what's learned is invaluable. Such bravery by all involved.
Arm transplants are working awesome!!😊😊😊😊❤
any new updates on his eye?
Wow he looked really amazing at the end! What a world we live in that can construct a face for someone like that.
I had Jaw surgery almost 6 years ago and they had to cut my face just below my nose all the way across and reset my jaw.
It’s amazing. This man can have a life now like anyone else. It’s a real second chance.
So strange how these professionals have come so incredibly far in certain areas of healthcare but so far from others.
Yeah like stomach issues. They're clueless
Arm & eye loss can happen to anybody at any time. Audience wishes him all the best. Cheers!
Humanity at its best. Consider what our civilisation could be if we applied the principles and compassionate stance seen in Aaron James’s case to geopolitics at a universal scale.
He looks amazing 👏 I'm wondering tho why they didn't give him an arm as well
One traumatic surgery at a time. Dealing with the loss of an arm is much easier than dealing with the loss of a face.

Amazing. Am glad he is able to live and be with family and healthy. The eye transplant I guess is being developed.
May God Bless This Man And His Entire Family Amen 🙏🏿.
g-d bless our coastal elite doctors ;)
Wow that is amazing! Medical science is unbelievable the things that can be done! Amazing donor also!
I think he looks dope with some face scars and an eyepatch. I wouldn’t guess he had a face transplant if I met him in person. Also, I think he looks like a Picasso painting now ❤
Amazing! How was he able to grow a beard?😮
Best of luck‼️
I hope he's doing great
A scientific achievement 👏 and a heart warming story!
Amazing
Amazing what medicine can achieve nowadays!
Incredible surgery guys my mother has macular degeneritive surgery she's gradually going totally blind, if his eye actually begins to have real vision please I beg you find my mother some donor eyes
Thats the best face transplant i think ive seen, ever. It just looks like he lost an eye
I seen this was posted 6 months ago, so I was hoping this was an update in 2024 on Aaron, but just a recap. Been following the original story so really nothing new in this video.
I find the whole transplant thing amazing, but rejection is scary!
this is so amazing to see, wow, humans are fucking amazing
Awesome
Doc says together we're gonna "face on" the challenges and be successful. 😅
I think you should implicate nerve stem cells and maybe neuro link application
_Did he develop any super powers after the accident?_
"you guys are off just by a millimeter" -still fuggs up the whole surgery, dude's eye half inch lower than the other one
It was left lower on purpose to help protect the eye until he regains control of the lid etc…
Some people have it without a surgery
🙏❤️🙏
That 2nd operation made him a cute guy again! Not sure if he is sighted with the implant...? Love modern medicine.
now all he needs is a titanium upper jaw and he would looks completly normal.
Wow! He looks so good! Thanks to these Drs and nurses

Called him stud
Something as simple as wearing a hat while working can lead to an accident like this.
A second "chance" at "life".
I really hope this guy is one of the luckier patients of Mr. Rodriguez, as this surgeon's track record has been quite questionable.
IT'S GOD'S WORK HALELUYA 🙏
I‘m pretty sure only medical professionals were involved.
