Some reports claimed that her daughter has said the dog was trying to wake Dinoire after she took sleeping pills in a suicide attempt. The hospital has denied this. [1] In a statement made on February 6, 2006, she admitted that "after a very upsetting week, with many personal problems, I took some pills to forget ... I fainted and fell on the ground, hitting a piece of furniture." [2] The hospital was also worried about possible complications arising from the effect of her once again taking up smoking. Partial face transplantPhotograph of Isabelle Dinoire released on January 28, 2006.The world's first partial face transplant on a living human was carried out on Dinoire on November 27, 2005 [3] by a team of surgeons led by Professor Jean-Michel Dubernard (the surgeon who performed the first successful hand transplant in 1998) and Professor Bernard Devauchelle in Amiens, France. A triangle of face tissue including a brain-dead human's nose and mouth was grafted onto the patient [4] [5]. "Scientists elsewhere have performed scalp and ear transplants. However, the claim is the first for a mouth and nose transplant. Experts say the mouth and nose are the most difficult parts of the face to transplant." [6] A debate over the ethics of the operation emerged, however, after it was alleged that Dinoire's face had been ravaged by her labrador while she was asleep after attempting suicide by consuming an excessive amount of sleeping pills, and that her donor, Maryline St. Aubert 46, had committed suicide by hanging. Concern was raised over Dinoire's ability to consent to the transplant, considering her mental state. Dubernard strenuously denied that Dinoire had attempted suicide, while Devauchelle insisted he would not have conducted the transplant if he had known that St. Aubert had hanged herself, as he feared the blood vessels in her face would be damaged. [7] Whether the challenging surgery will be proven successful, is yet to be seen. It was reported on January 18, 2006 that Dinoire has used her new lips to take up smoking, which doctors fear will botch her transplant by rejecting the face tissue. [8] There has been a change in her appearance. Her original face had a wide, tilted nose, a prominent chin and thin lips. The donated face has given her a straight and narrow nose, a neater chin and a fuller mouth. Dinoire appeared in a press conference on February 6, 2006, which showed that she has partial control over the transplated muscles, although she appears unable to close her mouth fully. References
