A Michigan man left disfigured after a suicide attempt a decade ago now has a new face after a Mayo Clinic surgery that took 50 hours and a medical team of 80 people. FOX 9’s Mike Manzoni has the dramatic story of one man’s transformation.

A Michigan man can blink, swallow, smile and breathe through his nose for the first time in a decade thanks to a face transplant performed at Mayo Clinic. This transformative and complex procedure underscores Mayo Clinic's skilled multidisciplinary surgical team who provide hope to patients with complex medical needs.

A nearly 60-hour-long surgery that began in February and involved more than 80 health care professionals, Mayo Clinic officials said.
