A<unk>  is a medical procedure to replace all or part of a person's<unk>  using tissue from a donor. Part of a field called "Vascularized Composite Tissue Allotransplantation" (VCA) it involves the<unk> ation of facial skin, the nasal structure, the nose, the lips, the muscles of facial movement used for expression, the nerves that provide sensation, and, potentially, the bones that support the<unk> . The recipient of a<unk>  will take life-long medications to suppress the immune system and fight off rejection. The world's first partial<unk>  on a living human was carried out in France in 2005. The world's first full<unk>  was completed in Spain in 2010. Turkey, France, the United States and Spain (in order of total number of successful<unk> s performed) are considered the leading countries in the research into the procedure.
