To address this safety concern, we started developing new tools 3 years ago with the aim of improving operative safety and using a multidisciplinary approach. One of the main aspects of preventing and managing major complications is based on simulation with team resource management, acute stress management and the development  of non-technical skills. This part of the course will draw on the expertise of different specialists: an anesthesiologist, a radiologist, a human factor expert from aviation, a psychologist, a specialist in communication and of course a surgeon.

The Assises for Innovation in Aesthetic Medicine (AIME) will be this opportunity. This conference comes in addition to the major Parisian congresses to which we will be pleased to continue to participate. The aim is to take stock of recent innovations in this rapidly growing field. In a friendly atmosphere, we will discuss the latest injection techniques, new biological and physical technologies, innovative areas such as genital aesthetic medicine and augmented and virtual realities and the latest developments in anti-aging medicine. The program will be quite dense and will allow a limited time to update. Symposia organized in the afternoon and afternoon will allow to deepen particular points. Finally, I know that you are always eager to practice, this is why this congress will be followed by a day entirely devoted to masterclasses.  Of course, a gala evening worthy of the one we organized on the Seine is planned. I hope that this conference will be an opportunity to review all the students who have trusted us throughout these years but also to get to know other practitioners of aesthetic medicine that we do not know yet and with whom we have a lot to share. Let's meet with AIME to progress together!
