I don't think it was the type of transplant Face/Off was depicting, hers was very natural-looking but also visibly not a normal face.

I'd like to see Mission: Impossible type transplants, or even masks like the ones they use, for that matter.



The CIA's former Chief of Disguise says they very much exist and are used, with some limitations [1]. Her comment on the 3d printer making the mask: "What if I said we had it".

Of course that's not really surprising when you look at the kind of Halloween masks you can get if you are willing to pay [2]. I imagine if you could special order them to perfectly fit your head they would be very convincing to the casual observer and to software.
