| MEETING REVIEW
documents a slow growth trend due largely to the advent of new and improved non-surgical and minimally invasive techniques and the increasing aversion to undergoing surgery among consumers. However, facial and eyelid surgery as
well as rhinoplasty received a lot of attention over the course of the meeting, with unique sessions devoted to pitfalls in rhinoplasty, Middle Eastern rhinoplasty, East-Asian blepharoplasty, non-surgical rhinoplasty, tear trough fillers, and periocular rejuvenation. There were many excellent talks given on the complex topic of best practices for upper and lower eyelids and browlifting given by oculoplastic surgeons as well as doctors from other specialties, each of whom presented his or her own tips and tricks. 'There were specialty sessions at this
year’s meeting that I enjoyed participating in and I came away with many clinical pearls. The blepharoplasty panel sessions focused on minimally invasive eyelid lifting techniques, and the facelift/necklift sessions shed light on advanced surgical maneuvers in the submentum. In both of these panels there was a multi-disciplinary faculty that contributed to learning and sharing new ideas. I learned a lot,' said New York facial plastic surgeon Andrew Jacono.
Special workshops included a super
informative CME accredited program entitled, ‘Mastering Facial Injectables.’ Syneron Candela presented a workshop featuring Illinois dermatologist Amy Taub speaking on total face and body rejuvenation with Elos® Plus and the newly launched Profound™ RF system for facial rejuvenation. A popular reception sponsored by Ulthera® had Drs. Grant Stevens and Sabrina Fabi offering ‘Perspectives on Two Novel Aesthetic Devices,’ Ulthera and Cellfina®. There was also a well-attended Galderma promotional symposium focusing on the many uses for Restylane® Silk. Kythera Biopharmaceuticals

Dermatologist Vivian Bucay spoke about the Pellevé Glidesafe® and PelleFirm® handpieces for facial wrinkle reduction and cellulite treatment, oculoplastic surgeon Raymond Douglas described his use of the Pellevé S5 generator with monopolar and bipolar surgical electrodes to perform blepharoplasty with minimal thermal damage to the tissues, and Dermatologist Martin Kassir reviewed the technology behind radiofrequency and its safety profile for surgical and aesthetic procedures. According to Chevy Chase, Maryland
dermatologist Rebecca Kazin, 'This conference has something for everyone. I really enjoyed having a chance to network with colleagues from other specialties to gain a better overview of aesthetic
medicine and surgery from different perspectives. There was an abundance of excellent sessions on acne, rosacea, fillers, cosmeceuticals, and lasers.'
