He Spent Seven Years Without a Face After an Accident — Until One Surgery Gave Him a Second Chance at Life
After a horrific hunting accident in 2011, Maurice Desjardins lived without a face for seven years.
A misfired rifle destroyed his facial features, leaving him unable to eat, speak, or breathe normally. His wife became his caregiver, and he endured years of pain and isolation.
In 2018, he underwent a risky, life-changing face transplant. Told he might not survive, Maurice answered, “Do you think I’m really living now?” The surgery gave him more than a face — it gave him hope and humanity.
