ed her face.

"I feel a great responsibility, for me and my family, for the medical teams ... and for the donor's family," she said.

"Not a day goes by when I don't think of her," she said of the anonymous donor. "She is constantly on my mind. It's too hard to explain. My only hope is that her family knows how grateful I am. She gave me a second chance."

Since Dinoire's operation several other face transplants have been performed, including another one in France and one in China. She said she wanted to raise awareness about organ donation.

"I met the Chinese surgeon who did the second face transplant on a man who was mauled by a bear. He said he was amazed by the results of my transplant and that I had opened the door to many others," Dinoire said.

"You don't know how good that made me feel."

She said she still lived with the possibility that her body would reject the new tissue, and had already recovered from two episodes when doctors feared rejection had started.

But even so, she said she was ready to move on with normal life again and put her nightmare behind her.

"I want to live, go back to a normal life and find work... I want people to respect me and leave me in peace. I have the right to quietly rebuild my life," she said.
