Goals
In this two-day symposium, participants will learn about the latest techniques and developments in aesthetic plastic surgery through a combination of didactic and interactive discussions. Participants will be exposed to various aesthetic and nonsurgical surgical procedures. Patient selection, techniques and outcomes, and patient safety are emphasized.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the two-day symposium, participants will be able to:
- Engage actively in discussing and evaluating important perioperative considerations in patients undergoing a facelift and neck lift surgery, enabling them to select appropriate techniques to maximize results and minimize complications in this patient population.
- Classify common issues following aesthetic breast surgery and actively develop a treatment plan for problems implant-related in revision breast surgery.
- Define the role of high-definition liposuction in body contouring procedures and actively explore how this can safely be combined with excisional body contouring to maximize aesthetic results.
- Understand the concepts and techniques in preservation rhinoplasty and actively identify patients who may be candidates and benefit from this technique.
