Presenter: Brian F.J. Wong, MD, PhD

Nasal tip aesthetics are complex and sublime. Correction of nasal tip deformities and creation of an attractive nasal tip is a challenge particularly along the alar lobule and soft triangle facet. This presentation will focus on surgical maneuvers to optimize both functional and cosmetic elements of this particularly challenging area of nasal tip anatomy.

Presenter: Umang Mehta, MD

Dr. Umang Mehta, MD covers a seven-step algorithm for a consistent, aesthetically pleasing and functional nasal tip in rhinoplasty. The steps include: Caudal Septal Extension/Replacement Grafts, Septocolumellar Suture Placement, Cephalic Trims, Cranial Tip Sutures, Lateral Crural Spanning Sutures, the Free Nasal SMAS Graft, and Premaxillary Grafts. 

Panelist: Dr. Michael Someone, Wendy Lewis, Melissa Ben-Youssef and Denise Mann

The COVID pandemic caused us all to rethink how to protect our staff, patients and ourselves from a virulent and somewhat unpredictable virus. During the 6+ weeks of lockdown, governmental agencies and medical societies produced suggested guidelines for safe reopening of practices. Now that we have had  6 months of experience following many of these guidelines and dealing with COVID, practitioners from around the country, we will discuss the measures they have adopted to practice safely in the office and operating room. Topics will include changes the office experience, virtual visits, exam room safety precautions, OR safety precautions, COVID testing, and new office protocols. We will also discuss the drawbacks and well as the benefits we have experienced with instituting many of these changes.

Presenter: Sam P. Most, MD

In this talk, Dr. Sam P. Most will review the history of osseocartilaginous vault preservation rhinoplasty.  The incorporation of dorsal preservation into existing open structure rhinoplasty methods will be examined.  Variations in the methods will be explained and the methods will be reviewed with case examples and videos.  Outcomes measurements will be included.  Comparison to standard Joseph reduction will be reviewed.

Presenters:  Jason Bloom, MD and Jacob Steiger, MD

This webinar will address the revolutionary treatment of Sofwave's Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology SUPERB^TM, which answers the growing demand for non-invasive treatments that deliver noticeable wrinkle reduction. With its seven cooled transducers directly coupled to the epidermis, this device creates a unique 3D array of volumetric, cylindrical-shaped thermal zones that deliver continuous parallel energy simultaneously to coagulate more tissue areas more quickly at the ideal depth of 1.5 mm - mid-dermis. This improves skin laxity effect in half the treatment time of other technologies, no matter the skin type.

Presenter: Richard D. Gentile, MD

Approaches to the deep plane have traditionally involved a Skoog type lower facial approach, a Hamra deep plane or a multi plane SMAS flap approach. Dr. Gentile has developed a new approach to the deep plane using Ultrasonic dissection that permits easy dissection of the facial deep plane and a complete deep plane and subplatysmal dissection that releases all posterior platysmal retaining ligaments. This technique has been used in close to 100 patients with excellent results and low complications. The technique is currently in press in the Facial Plastic Surgery Journal.

Presenter: Jose Enrique Barrera, MD

There are various techniques used to address nasal tip shape and resiliency. This presentation will address indications for dome suture versus need for alteration of the lateral crura and placement of various nasal tip grafts. An approach will be presented from simple techniques to more advanced overlay and tensioning of the lateral crura in achieving aesthetic goals to the nasal tip.
