Six months after her face transplant, Charla Nash says she finally feels free to go out in public again. Nearly three years after a horrific chimp attack literally tore her face off, she’s gotten used to people staring. What was new was the reason for the attention. After the full face transplant, Nash has begun venturing out into public again, no longer worried her severely disfigured face would frighten people. On Monday, she revealed that new face in an exclusive interview on TODAY. The original procedure was performed by surgeons at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
