Carmen Blandin Tarleton is starting over.

The Vermont former transplant nurse has undergone more than 50 surgeries — including a full face transplant — since her jealous ex-husband poured lye on her in 2007, burning and disfiguring more than 80 percent of her body.

She’s currently recovering from a transplant that applied an anonymous female donor’s facial skin to the 44-year-old’s nose and lips, facial muscles, neck, arteries and nerves. Doctors tell the Associated Press that Tarleton is “a fighter” and quoted her as saying she feels “strong, and . . . confident that I have the strength to deal with whatever comes my way.”
