Charla Nash, the woman who was mauled by her friend’s chimp has a new face thanks to advanced medical technology.
According to published reports, Charla Nash underwent a face and hand transplant in May at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. The anonymous donor of the face and hands was an unidentified woman on life support. Doctors revealed Nash’s new face on the “Today Show” this morning. Nash, who was too weak to be interviewed, can feel her jaw and her sense of smell is returning.
Nash, 57, was critically after her friend’s 200-pound pet chimpanzee turned on her while she was helping her friend lead him back inside his enclosure.
Nash was blinded when the chimp gouged out her eyes and tore off her lips, nose and both hands. The rampaging chimp was shot and killed by police after a brief hunt.
Nash will eventually receive prosthetic eyes at a later date. She also underwent surgery to attach donated hands but her body rejected the hands after Nash contracted pneumonia. Another attempt will be made to attach new hands at a later date, according to her doctors.
Chimps are aggressively jealous of their mates and are known to viciously attack the faces of their sexual competition.

That’s great cause that chimp literally tore her face off. But I thought she said she didn’t want to be in the public anymore…
WOW!!
This can be the Face Off 2…. Face Off is one of my favorites…. Has anyone seen Planet of the Apes? White folks are the reason why this planet is so messed up… They all experimenting and messing up ish…
Sandra did you see on the news that somewhere in Texas the water is drying uu? People better pay close attention to what’s going on…. The New Order will take place before 2012 Elections,,, The Amero is coming and America, Mexico and Canda will unite….
I remember when she was on Oprah Bless her heart.

Didn’t LisaRaye slap some hoe (folks said it was Rocsi) in the face for messing with her husband? On the island? Right before The King of Zemunda voted her off?
OMG. An episode of Nip/Tuck comes to mind, but this happened for real I see.
@ blackbeauti ok thanks. I scrolled through the post to fast
They did an incredible job considering what her face looked like before this surgery. She is suing the woman’s estate and the state of Connecticut for the attack.
@Cocoa
Suing the woman’s estate? Did the woman who owned the chimp die or something?
OMG.
@SASO, I thought she died a year ago or a couple of years ago too.
Modern medicine is a wonderful thing. They’ve come a very long way with face transplants.
Still think its crazy that folks read *rich “eccentric” yt* get to keep these wild animals. When will people learn not to mess with mother nature and her creatures.
Hello All. She looks very good considering what she went thru. May God continue to bless her.
WHOA that pic is scary! Amazing what science and technology can do
But wait Kingstonnn…you are gawjus!
Wooowww… That is a hard one to swallow! Glad they ki-lled that chump chimp… Wooowww. @SR you Rock! I Loves your blog… Gooo Girl

Nip Tuck was my show!
OMG I mean after I push my lunch back down in my stomach I will praise the advance of medicine and :prays: this woman can lead a fullfilling life
Thats a blessing. Thank God for surgeons and the knowledge and skills he gives them.
Glad she got a new face, but she still can’t see. So sad.
I hate to be negative and gross but I wonder what will happen if her body begins to reject her face?
Will her face just melt off or swell up?
If that had happened to me I would have offed myself and been done with it.
I remember seeing the story about this on Animal Planet’s “Fatal Attraction” and her friend was upset with the police for killing her crazed chimp. I can’t help but wonder if they’re still friends after all this? How can you forgive someone for harboring a pet that almost took your life and ripped your face off but was upset about them having to be put down? That bish was crazy!
Stop trying to keep everything as a Pet! Im glad she got a new face though
WOOOOOOW JUST WOOOW AND TO HAVE ANOTHERS PERSONS FACE ON U JUST FUKN WOW!!!

@AL OMG MY LOOOOVAH LOOOVE OF ALL LOVES
WILD ANIMALS don’t belong in Homes with Human Beings !!!
I’m a FIRM Believer that incidents such as these are DIRECT KARMA for the Commercialization & Profiting OFF Zoo(s) along with YT Society’s ZEAL for taking away Natural Land-n-Habitat from this Planet’s Wildlife — JMO
i’m glad she was open to the surgery. i think i’d be slightly upset to know i was walking around looking like someone else though…
This needs a serious warning on it BEFORE opening…ewww
