Bethan Robertson-Smith was in a nearly fatal car accident a few years ago and awoke from her coma to find out  that she couldn’t move half of her face.  Part of her face was paralyzed prohibiting her moving it, smiling, or even blinking her eyes.  Can you imagine living with one facial expression and not being able to show any positive emotion?  Fortunately she was able to receive facial transplants that gave her the opportunity to smile once again.  Hit the jump for pics.
