The man with three faces: Only person to undergo TWO face transplants says he's getting used to his new identity after catching a COLD led to his body rejecting his second face

 Jerome Hamon underwent the world's first full face transplant, including tear ducts and eyelids, in a procedure at a hospital outside the French capital, Paris, in July 2010. 

But the same year - in order to treat nothing more than a common cold - he was given an antibiotic incompatible with his treatment. In 2016, he began to display signs of transplant rejection, and his new face deteriorated.

 By November last year, the 43-year-old's face, suffering from necrosis, had to be removed. He remained in hospital without a face for two months before a donor was found and a second transplant carried out.

 Hamon, who suffers from a genetic mutation which causes disfiguring tumours, insists he has quickly accepted his new 'identity'.
