53rd Annual Baker Gordon Symposium

53rd Annual Baker Gordon Symposium is organized by Baker Gordon Symposium and will be held from Feb 07 - 09, 2019 at Hyatt Regency Miami, Miami, Florida, United States of America. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 22.75 AMA PRA Category 1 credits.

Objectives:
Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of plastic surgery, as opposed to other surgical specialties, is the vast variety of techniques available for a specific procedure. Individual plastic surgeons invariably commit to a specific methodology while often dismissing the possibility that other technical approaches might be similarly efficacious. The theme of the 53rd Baker Gordon Symposium on Cosmetic Surgery is to examine ENLIGHTENED VARIATIONS IN TECHNIQUES which have been pioneered by master surgeons to improve both consistency and outcomes in aesthetic surgery procedures. In our opinion, it is these technical variations which represent the Vanguard of Creativity that is the
hallmark of innovation in plastic surgery.

To help us explore variations in technique which produce elegant outcomes, we have scheduled five live surgery demonstrations. Two live demonstrations will focus on Face Lifting Techniques including the Extend SMAS Face Lift as well as the High SMAS Face Lift with Volumetric Enhancement and Subplatysma Cervical Contouring. Other live surgery demonstrations will include Composite Gluteal Augmentation utilizing Gluteal Implants combined with Autogenous Volume Enhancement, Primary Rhinoplasty, and Mastopexy/ Augmentation. We have also included several interactive video demonstrations which focus on technical variations in Face Lift Techniques, Cervical Contouring, and Volumetric
Augmentation to enhance facial shape. Video demonstrations on Open Rhinoplasty, High Definition Liposuction, Liposuction with Gluteal Augmentation and Abdominoplasty with Neoumbilicalplasty will be presented.

The Keynote Lecture for the 53rd Annual Baker Gordon Symposium will be given by Dr. Christopher Salgado, Professor and Interim Chairman of Plastic Surgery at the University of Miami. Dr. Salgado is a pioneer in the rapidly evolving specialty of gender surgery and will share his perspective regarding the Vanguard of Creativity in gender affirmation.

In the tradition of the Baker Gordon Educational Symposium we have limited our faculty in an attempt to allow focus on interactive interchange between faculty, host 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 Educational Symposium. Hopefully this year’s meeting will continue our traditions of excellence in aesthetic surgery education.
