Aesthetic plastic surgery has undergone dramatic changes throughout
the last decades and we still see a constant evolution and growth of
the procedures per-formed. Non-surgical procedures are also requested
more and more and this segment of aesthetic medicine is in fact
growing even faster than the operative procedures. Thus also plastic
surgeons must embrace non-surgical procedures to be competitive in
the growing aesthetic market.
Akademikliniken has therefore initiated their “Beauty through Science”
symposiums. Surgical procedures,
non-surgical facial rejuvenation including large sections on state of
use of neurotoxins and fillers, and also non-surgical body contouring
will be covered. Added to all this will be a master class on the latest
findings in skin care The surgical sessions will focus on aesthetic
facial surgery and aesthetic breast augmentation surgery. Breast augmentation
surgery has entered into a new era in the 21st century.
Many surgeons are not fully aware of the paradigm shift
related to the
use of form stable devices and that these implants, both anatomical
and round ones, necessitates fundamentally different implant selection
techniques, preoperative markings and surgical methods.
In this meeting we will not only have lectures and DVD to demonstrate this
but also intensive workshops will be offered. The interest for this symposium
has to date been large and we hope that we will be able to continue
and grow this meeting in the years to come. We welcome you
to Stockholm in June of 2008. Usually the Swedish capital shows its
best side this time of the year. The days are warm and daylight extends
long into the evening. We also hope to bring you a social program of
similar quality that previously has been greatly appreciated during our
previous international symposiums.
Welcome to the fourth international symposium of Akademikliniken.
Note your calendars for the 5th Beauty through Science meeting in Stockholm
11–13 June 2009.
Sincerely,
Per Hedén
Associate Professor in Plastic Surgery,
