Doctors and scientists have expressed amazement after a woman’s transplanted hands changed their color to match the rest of her skin tone. Doctors added that this is the first case of the intriguing health phenomenon and expressed their hope that it will spark more research in the area.
According to The Indian Express, 21 year old Shreya Siddanagowder was the first case of an inter-gender hand transplant in Asia, performed at the Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS). Her donor was a 20 year old from Kerala, who not only had a much darker skin tone, but was also a man.
However, in the year since Siddanagowder received the transplant, the hands have begun to transform — both taking on a more feminine shape and changing its skin tone to match Siddanagowder’s hue.
