It's my understanding that the face is entire and complete, nose, lips, eyelids.But you're right, that the underlying bone structure will affect the finished look of the face. It may not be recognizable as the face of the donor after it is transplanted.

One issue they mentioned is that it will be difficult to get donor faces. They polled medical professionals that are overwhelming sympathetic and willing to donate organs, but only a small percentage said that they would donate their faces.
