Dallas Wiens' amazing new face

Dallas Wiens lost his sight and his facial features in 2008, after he was zapped by a power line. But doctors in Boston gave him a new nose, lips, skin, muscle, and nerves in March, and now the 25-year-old Texan is on the mend.

He and his doctors held a press conference today at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital, where the surgery was performed.

Wiens is assisted to his seat by Brigham and Women's Hospital spokesperson Erin McDonough and Dr. Jeffrey Janis before the start of a news conference in Boston, May 9, 2011. Though he has a new face, Wiens remains blind - the result of the injury he received in 2008.
