The dynamic, well-rounded program includes keynote presentations and didactic sessions on the latest techniques and procedures in cosmetic surgery, such as: body contouring, face lift surgery, Brazilian butt lift, breast, rhinoplasty, liposuction surgery, skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and male and female genitourinary.
Professor Peter A. Everts, PhD, FRSM, internationally recognized educator, scientist, and contributor in the area of chronic complex wound healing and regenerative medicine, will deliver the keynote presentation at the opening session on Thursday, February 9.
Jeffrey Alan Klein, MD, MPH, inventor of the tumescent technique for liposuction, will deliver the prestigious Webster Lecture on Friday, February 10. Dr. Klein's lifetime work of developing tumescent techniques for liposuction improved the safety of liposuction beyond measurable terms.
