Description:
Demand for cosmetic facial surgery has increased over the last 20 years among U.S. consumers. Oral and maxillofacial training programs now include facial cosmetic surgery procedures and principles in their curriculum and scope of training. However, during economic downturns, patients are reluctant to pursue expensive surgical treatment options for facial rejuvenation. Instead, there has been an uprise in seeking "no-downtime" and inexpensive options that have little to no recovery time. The focus of this surgical clinic will be on facial cosmetic procedures that are considered non-invasive with immediate patient results and gratification, including discussions on Botox, use of fillers, non-ablative laser skin treatments, skin health program as well as a discussion on the marketing and establishment of the cosmetic practice for the contemporary OMS.

Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

• Describe the various products available and the techniques and skills required to perform non-surgical rejuvenation. 
• Discuss the anatomic basis and principles of non-surgical facial rejuvenation using minimally invasive treatments and techniques. 
• Review the marketing and patient skills needed to achieve a successful implementation of nonsurgical facial cosmetic procedures.
