Anatomical illustrations demonstrating the facial transplant procedure. <\/b><\/p>\n

The first facial tissue transplant surgery of Finland and the Nordic Countries was carried out in Helsinki in 2016. I collaborated with the leading surgeon Patrik Lassus and another forensic artist\/anatomist Lydia Carline to create anatomical illustrations to explain the procedure to the general public and professionals in healthcare fields. We created over 30 illustrations altogether, some of which were widely distributed in the Finnish media. Here are some examples.<\/p>\n

A few media links (in Finnish but with illustrations):<\/p>\n
