The
theme of this year’s symposium is defining the essential elements of
contrasting approaches for aesthetic enhancement of the face,
eyelids and breast, as well as updating the current advances in
cosmetic medicine. To this aim we have invited some of the foremost
educators in plastic surgery, oculoplastic surgery and dermatology
to share with our audience their experiences, concepts and
techniques.
The
first day of the meeting we will examine SIMPLIFYING APPROACHES
TO LOWER LID BLEPHAROPLASTY, emphasizing the role of
CANTHOPLASTY, FAT MANAGEMENT, and ORBICULARIS PRESERVATION in
producing consistent results. Discussions will be followed by a
live demonstration of UPPER AND LOWER BLEPHAROPLASTY WITH
TRANSPALPEBRAL CORRGUTOR RESECTION. Later on Thursday afternoon
we will switch our focus to advances in cosmetic medicine,
examining minimally invasive alternatives in shaping and
rejuvenation. Specifically, we will discuss ALTERNATIVES IN
NON-SURGICAL FAT REMOVAL, as well as NON-INVASIVE SKIN
TIGHTENING TECHNOLOGY. We will also examine the array of soft
tissue fillers which are currently available, including
RESTYLANE®, JUVEDERM™, PERLANE®, RADIANCE®, as well as AUTOLOGOUS
FAT INJECTION FOR FACIAL AUGMENTATION.

Friday’s program will focus on FACIAL REJUVENATION, and will
feature the 42nd Baker Gordon Symposium keynote speaker, Dr.
Francoise Firmin, who will share with us her personal evolution
regarding the AESTHETIC CONSIDERATIONS IN EAR RECONSTRUCTION AND
LESSONS FOR AESTHETIC SURGERY.
This
will be followed by a discussion on facial aging and the
significance of facial fat compartments in facial deflation,
followed by an examination of the causes and preventions of
surgical distortion in face lifting. The program will then shift
to emphasize technical approaches for the difficult face lift,
including lateral SMASectomy in the male face lift patient, as
well as variations in the MACS technique. Prevention of facial
nerve injuries as well as the role of the HARMONIC SCALPEL in
face lifting will also be discussed. Following the didactic
lectures on Friday morning, the afternoon program will feature a
live demonstration of a MALE FACE LIFT, plus interactive videos
on THE HARMONIC SCALPEL IN FACE LIFTING as well as THE
MACS TECHNIQUE IN FACE LIFTING.

Saturday’s program will focus on
CONTROVERSIES IN BREAST AUGMENTATION, as well as MASTOPEXY
AUGMENTATION along with Point/Counterpoint Discussions regarding
incision selection, implant selection, pocket dissection,
postoperative recovery, and re-operation rate. We will also look
at the status of AUTOLOGOUS FAT BREAST AUGMENTATION both in
aesthetic as well
as reconstructive breast surgery, examining patient selection,
patient safety and long term result. The morning’s session
will then be followed by a live demonstration of MASTOPEXY
AUGMENTATION, as well as interactive videos on PRIMARY BREAST
AUGMENTATION WITH 24 HOUR RECOVERY, AUTOLOGOUS FAT INJECTION FOR
BREAST AUGMENTATION AND MASTOPEXY AUGMENTATION.

In the
tradition of the Baker Gordon Symposium, we have limited our faculty
in an attempt
to allow focus on interactive interchange between faculty, hosts and
audience. The tradition of
combining academic didactics with live demonstrations by masters in
plastic surgery has always
been the hallmark of the Baker Gordon Symposium. Hopefully, this
year’s meeting will continue
our tradition of excellence in aesthetic surgery education. |
