Spectrum of Lower Facial Rejuvenation, From Lipo to Lifts

This is a Ticketed Session

Recontouring the lower face in the younger patient often takes the form of chin augmentation and/or submental liposuction. With age, skin laxity needs to be addressed in order to achieve an optimal result. This clinic will introduce the spectrum of submental liposuction, platysmaplasty, mini-lifts, complications and postoperative management.

1. Diagnose cosmetic deformities that affect the lower face and recognize the appropriate surgical interventions that may alleviate them;
2. Describe how to perform, step-by-step, the techniques that are available to rejuvenate and recontour the lower face, including submental liposuction, chin augmentation, platymaplasty and skin tightening procedures; and
3. Apply appropriate postoperative patient management, including adequate diagnosis and treatment of complications.
