Norris' mother reported that there was human flesh, bones and teeth all over the wall of the family home, according to the Daily Mail.
With an attempt to repair his face, Norris underwent dozens of surgeries, eventually opting for a face transplant.
Despite a high risk of complication, Norris went ahead with the transplant and his particular operation was considered the most extensive ever conducted.
Norris says that he finally recognises himself in the mirror an even though he had to make a series of adjustments, like learning to eat and drink again, he has pulled through.
"When I look in the mirror, I see Richard Norris. When I was disfigured, just walking the sidewalk, I was surprised that more people didn't walk into telephone poles or break their necks to stare at me.
"Now ... there's no one paying attention," Richard said. "Unless they know me personally, they don't know I am a face transplant patient. That right there is the goal we had."Top Story
