BALTIMORE - It has been several months since Richard Lee Norris had most of his face replaced, and now you will barely recognize him.

Doctors replaced most of his face, including his jaw and tongue.  Now he looks like a completely different person.

The hospital says he is doing well.  Norris was injured by a gunshot in 1997.
