Short answer - No

Long answer - The process of replacing brain cells can take an extremely long time (+30 years)

There was a girl with a severe brain tumor who had half of her brain removed. This affected her personality something fierce. She had to learn how to walk and talk all over again, but she made remarkable progress. Such operations are less successful the older a person is, as their brains lose plasticity.
