Face Forward: from reconstruction to aesthetics

The annual WEAC training day focuses on reconstructive facial surgery: the basic principles for oncological and traumatic defects, and what they bring to the aesthetic patient.

Programme

Face Forward

Facial surgery starts with looking, analysing and handling tissue with care. Anatomy, tissue layers, scarring, shape, volume and symmetry always determine the result, whether you repair a defect, correct a post-traumatic asymmetry or treat an aesthetic request.

For many OMF surgeons the step to aesthetic surgery feels big. Reconstructive surgery is a natural first step: the indication is often clear and the skills apply widely.

Open to OMF surgeons, dermatologists, ENT surgeons, plastic surgeons and others interested. Sessions are in Dutch.

On behalf of the WEAC: Frank Bierenbroodspot, Susanne Bolouri, Atilla Gül, Johan Jansma, Celine van der Kolk-Bender, Lara van de Lande, Hamid Meshkini, Rutger Schepers and Hylke Schouten.
