Patrick Hardison’s face was left severely disfigured as a result of extensive facial burns he got while responding to a house fire in 2001. He lost his eyelids, ears, lips, hair and most of his nose, and used baseball caps and sunglasses to cover his scars and hide from the world. All of that changed, however, when Hardison underwent the most extensive soft tissue face transplant ever performed last year. Then on Wednesday, he spoke out, revealing his new face to the world. "I'd like to say that I'm the same old Pat, but that would not give enough credit to the amazing journey that I have gone through over the past year," he said. "After my accident, my life was really hard. I hated life. I'm here today because I want others to see that there is hope beyond the injury. I'm especially proud to share my story with other injured firefighters, first responders and US military. If sharing my story helps just one person explore the possibility of face transplants, then it's worth it. ... I have hope now, and I want to help those that are injured know that there is hope for them, too." (?: Drew Angerer/@gettyimages)
