This is a Fee Ticket Session

This preconference program will focus on the ‘hot topics’ in facial rejuvenation of the lower facial third, with a comprehensive discussion of presurgical evaluation and the variety of procedures that can be offered to patients.

Attention will be given to such hard and soft tissue procedures, neck lifting, facial volume restoration with implants and osteotomies, liposculpturing techniques, and orthognathic surgery. A panel for case discussion will follow each major topic area with an ‘Ask the Expert’ session.
