The rehearsal alone by Mayo surgeons took 31/2 hours. The surgical team consisted of 60 surgeons and nurses medically equipped to give Andy a New Face.

"Everybody went into this totally knowing their role, knowing what to expect. Every step has been thought out 1,000 times," said head surgeon Dr. Samir Mardini. Calen Ross face was also prepared for 24 hours even while Andy was being prepared for the operation in about the same time.

Calen Ross’ face was also rebuilt below the eyes which took 32 hours. Finally Andy was taken into the operating theater where he would now receive his new face.

The surgery was a success. As you can see, last minute touches are being given to the new Andy.

Take a look at Andy, one year after the surgery with his new face that belonged to Calen Rudy Ross. The transformation is unbelievable.

Looking closely one can see a small scar beneath Andy’s eyes. To anyone not knowing Andy’s story, it wouldn’t even make a difference.
