OVERVIEW
Facial Rejuvenation: Incorporating Absorbable Suspension Sutures for Repositioning & Tightening Facial Tissue is organized by XMedica and will be held during Jan 26, 2018 - Oct 04, 2018.
The target audience for this medical event is to educate those physicians who inject fillers, especially dermatologists, facial plastic surgeons, oculoplastic surgeons, and plastic surgeons. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 2 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Course Description/Purpose:
The development of more minimally invasive products and procedures have given physicians multiple options from which to choose to help patients achieve a rejuvenated appearance. Positive patient outcomes are highly dependent on physician skill as well as a thorough understanding of anatomy and product characteristics. The improvement in facial suspension suture technology has led to the development of more refined devices and successful outcomes calls for appropriate training. This course will review facial aging and anatomy and demonstrate the role that suspension sutures have in facial repositioning and tightening. In addition, the faculty will review how all options: injectables, energy-based technology and suspension sutures can work together to produce optimal patient outcomes. The course includes lectures, video demonstrations, before and after photos and faculty discussions.
To complete this activity and receive credit, the participant should:
• Review the materials on accreditation information, target audience, educational objectives, and disclosure information
• Complete the entire self-study
• Complete the post-test and evaluation/claim form
Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this program, participants should be able to:
• Describe the causes, processes, locations, and impacts of facial aging as they relate to aesthetic rejuvenation.
• Evaluate facial rejuvenation techniques, taking into account patient-specific goals and characteristics.
• Compare and contrast permanent and fully absorbable implantable sutures.
• Identify characteristics and benefits of absorbable lifting sutures.
• Formulate an anatomically/vector directed individualized patient plan using absorbable lifting sutures for facial rejuvenation/midface suspension.
• Devise individualized management plans for aesthetic facial rejuvenation using combination procedures including facial injectables, energy-based procedures and/or absorbable sutures.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
