Overview

An interactive, multidisciplinary, state-of-the-art symposium presenting new techniques, research and surgical procedures in the fields of aesthetic plastic surgery and anti-aging medicine.

The greatest challenge aesthetic physicians face now is staying up to date with the rapid advances in technology, new products, regulatory environment, and skin therapies. Our patients demand for such services has resulted in the need for physicians to be better educated and trained on safe and effective practices. The course objectives will emphasize new techniques and technologies while also critically evaluating current treatment practices, free of commercial interference from industry. Clinical endpoints and safety will be emphasized as well. Participants will leave this symposium with a clear understanding of novel treatment paradigms, emerging technologies such as non-invasive body shaping and skin tightening, autologous fat grafting, the science of stem cells and regenerative medicine. We will be presenting a comprehensive, state-of-the-art expert live injectable /neuromodulator demonstration of all current FDA cleared products and injection assisted devices and instrumentation.

Learning Objectives

As a result of participating in this activity, PHYSICIAN participants should be able to:

  • Identify signs of facial aging and describe the changes that occur in the bone structure, muscles and fat compartments of the face as it ages
  • Evaluate the use of stem cell therapy as it relates to plastic surgery procedures in areas such as fat grafting and injectable facial products
  • Describe current protocols for DVT prophylaxis in plastic surgery procedures
  • Recognize the importance of accurately evaluating and diagnosing potential infection including biofilms and how to appropriately treat
  • Identify injection techniques that have demonstrated safe and satisfactory patient outcomes for facial enhancement and/or rejuvenation
  • Describe current trends/techniques in breast rejuvenation including the use of silicone/saline implants as well as fat

As a result of participating in this activity, NURSING participants should be able to:

  • Identify signs of facial aging and describe the changes that occur in the bone structure, muscles and fat compartments of the face as it ages
  • Understand how stem cell therapy is used in plastic surgery procedures such as fat grafting and in facial rejuvenation techniques
  • Describe current protocols for DVT prophylaxis in plastic surgery procedures
  • Recognize the importance of accurately evaluating and diagnosing potential infection including biofilms and how to appropriately treat
  • Describe both the benefits and complications of currently available facial injectable products
  • Describe current trends/techniques in breast rejuvenation and recognize potential patient safety concerns

Live/Video Demonstrations

A live injection workshop featuring the newest fillers/volumizing agents and injectables, performed by experts in the field will supplement the lectures and panel discussions. Surgical procedures narrated by the performing surgeons will be offered. Interactive discussions between the presenters and registrants will permit the audience to communicate directly with the speakers via email, text or microphone. The information will be presented by faculty as lectures, workshops, panels, and discussions.

Target Audience

This conference is designed for the core aesthetic physician, (dermatology, facial plastic surgery, oculoplastic surgery and plastic surgery) at all levels of experience who want to increase their knowledge of the most up to date, innovative trends and procedures in their specialty. Those who assist in their practice are also welcome to attend.

Disclosure Statement

USF Health endorses the standards of the ACCME that requires everyone in a position to control the content of a CME activity to disclose all financial relationships with commercial interests that are related to the content of the CME activity. CME activities must be balanced, independent of commercial bias and promote improvements or quality in healthcare. All recommendations involving clinical medicine must be based on evidence accepted within the medical profession.

A conflict of interest is created when individuals in a position to control the content of CME have a relevant financial relationship with a commercial interest which, therefore, may bias his/her opinion and teaching. This may include receiving a salary, royalty, intellectual property rights, consulting fee, honoraria, stocks, or other financial benefits. USF Health will identify, review, and resolve all conflicts of interest that speakers, authors or planners disclose prior to an educational activity being delivered to learners. Disclosure of a relationship is not intended to suggest or condone bias in any presentation but is made to provide participants with information that might be of potential importance to their evaluation of a presentation.
