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.
Moderator: Theda C. Kontis, MD / Panelists: Rami K. Batniji, MD, Cynthia K. Gregg, MD, Linda N. Lee, MD and Vishad Nabili, MD
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.
Rhinoplasty expert Holger G. Gassner, MD, presents his structured approach to selecting the appropriate endonasal method to ensure desired results.
Presenter: Holger G. Gassner, MD
Dr. Gassner will also discuss the "S.O.F.T. Concept" in rhinoplasty, which was developed to minimize trauma, shorten recovery, maintain a naturally soft nasal tip, and preserve the skeletal and soft tissue elements of the nose. Representative cases will be shown to elucidate endonasal solutions to the entire spectrum of deformities and functional aspects of the nose.

In order to better understand the rationale behind medial based deep plane facelifting and how it differs from lateral superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) facelifting (high SMAS orlow SMAS), this webinar will focus on an advanced understanding of the complex anatomy of the SMAS and soft tissues of the face primarily using surgical videos to enhance learning.
Presenter: Andrew A. Jacono, MD
Includes anatomic description of the fixed and mobile SMAS. Unlike lateral SMAS facelift flap procedures (high or low), the extended deep plane facelift enters the sub-SMAS plane medially at the mobile SMAS giving it a biomechanical advantages when lifting the anterior midface and jowl soft tissue ptosis. Integral to this procedure is release of four key retaining ligaments in the face and neck, the zygomatic cutaneous, masseteric cutaneous, mandibular cutaneous, and cervical retaining ligaments. Once released, the composite deep plane flap is repositioned in a vertical vector to volumize the midface and gonial angle along the jawline. Important anatomic considerations during the deep plane dissection are discussed. In the midface, these include the fixed and mobile SMAS, zygomatic and masseteric cutaneous ligaments, facial fat compartments, and facial nerve. In the neck, focus is on extending the deep plane dissection of the platytsma, releasing the cervical retaining ligaments. This course will also discuss modification in platysma myotomies that improve jawline contour, and re-draping the composite deep plane flap to volumize the midface and gonial angle which atrophy with age, thus improving the cheek and jawline contour. Data on longevity and efficacy will be presented based upon cohort studies of over 1000 patients.
Recent years have seen continued improvement in new and innovative techniques to treat facial paralysis.
Moderator: Samuel L. Oyer, MD / Panelists: Babak Azizzadeh, MD, Patrick J. Byrne, MD and Tessa A. Hadlock, MD
This presentation involves a panel discussion utilizing case-based examples to illustrate real-life scenarios faced my many facial plastic & reconstructive surgeons treating patients with facial paralysis. The panelists discuss practical surgical techniques and patient management pearls they have honed over years dedicated to facial reanimation. Case examples will include office based treatments such as chemodenervation and surgical techniques ranging from static slings, to nerve transfer, to free muscle transfer. An emphasis will be placed on practical techniques to equip attendees with helpful tools when treating their own patients.
Some of the vital keys to the success of a practice involve things that are not strictly taught in medical school. Such as the adequate and correct use of available business entities appropriate for a medical practice. Many physicians are not aware of the specific legal tools available, that enable them to focus their efforts on improved patient care.

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.
Presenters: Jason Bloom, MD and Jacob Steiger, MD
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.
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.
Presenter: Richard D. Gentile, MD
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.

Dr. Williams’ presentation emphasizes the concept of Structural Rhinoplasty using the Endonasal Approach by employing grafting and suture techniques to accomplish the same goals with limited dissection and trauma to the nasal skeleton.
Presenter: Edwin F. Williams, III, MD - Moderator: Grace Lee Peng, MD
The Endonasal Approach to Rhinoplasty has been used for decades. In the early years this approach was associated with a more reductive rhinoplasty and sequelae resulting in this becoming a less favored approach by those who are advocates for the Open Structure Approach which has its shortcomings. Dr. Williams’ presentation emphasizes the concept of Structural Rhinoplasty using the Endonasal Approach by employing grafting and suture techniques to accomplish the same goals with limited dissection and trauma to the nasal skeleton. Videos are included to show the details of the discussed and relevant surgical maneuvers so as to assist with understanding.
