A Massachusetts man who became the nation's second face transplant recipient tells The Boston Globe that he is "happy" with the results and now just wants a normal life again.

In his first public statement since the 17-hour operation in Boston in April, James Maki tells the newspaper that he can't believe he looks so much like he used to.

Maki, 59, lost his nose, upper lip, cheeks, roof of his mouth, as well as muscle, bone and nerves after falling onto the electrified third rail at a Boston subway station in 2005.

For years, he said, he rarely went in public because people would recoil upon seeing him.

Certainly a big improvement. Looks better than the women who was the first in my opinion.

It's amazing how fast things progress. In just a few years, surgeries like this may very well become commonplace.
