Hi,

Please, I will recommend that you talk to a orthopedic surgeon(hand specialist) to review this finger and tel whether there are any fixes that can be considered at this time. I understand the need to get good looking fingers but rarely do we really do transplants just for cosmetics purposes as the benefits are small compared to the benefits.

I advise that you feel happy with your fingers. Remember many get involved in accidents and never survive. You should be happy that your survived and celebrate rather than being filled with regrets.
