Core Tip	Face transplantation is a complex vascular composite allotransplantation surgery. During donor harvest, osteotomies and dissection of the midface bony skeleton may involve severe hemorrhagic blood loss often requiring transfusion of blood products. A silicon face mask created from the facial impression is used to reconstruct the face and preserve the donor’s dignity. The recipient surgery usually averages to 19-20 h. Since the face is a very vascular organ, there is usually massive bleeding, both in the dissection phase as well as in the reperfusion phase, requiring use of pressors. This article reviews the anesthetic considerations for management for face transplantation, and some of the perioperative challenges faced.
