Andy Sandness, left, gets a hug from Dr. Samir Mardini at the Mayo Clinic, Friday, Oct. 27, 2017, in Rochester, Minn. Mardini led a 56-hour transplant surgery to give Sandness the face that once belonged to Calen "Rudy" Ross. Ross and Sandness' ages, blood type, skin color and facial structure were such a near-perfect match that Mardini said the two men could have been cousins. (AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall)
