CORRECTS BYLINE TO JEANNA L. DUERSCHERL - In this June 13, 2016 photo provided by the Mayo Clinic, a medical team performs a face transplant surgery at the medical center in Rochester, Minn. It took about 24 hours to procure the donor's face, which involved taking bone, muscle, skin and nerves, and almost the same time to prepare the recipient. His entire face was rebuilt below his eyes, taking an additional 32 hours. The medical team rotated, taking four-hour breaks through the weekend. (Jeanna L. Duerscherl/Mayo Clinic via AP)
