5th Annual Anatomic Mastery in Aging Face Surgery – Symposium & Cadaver Lab

5TH ANNUAL ANATOMIC MASTERY IN AGING FACE SURGERY
SYMPOSIUM & FRESH CADAVER LAB
February 26–28, 2027 | South Florida
The 5th Annual Anatomic Mastery in Aging Face Surgery Symposium & Cadaver Lab brings together an internationally recognized faculty of facial plastic, plastic, and oculoplastic surgeons for an immersive exploration of advanced facial rejuvenation surgery.
Throughout the program, attendees will examine multiple approaches to facial, neck, and periorbital rejuvenation, including:
- Deep Plane Facelift
- SMAS & Alternative Facelift Techniques
- Neck Lift & Advanced Neck Rejuvenation
- Midface Rejuvenation
- Endoscopic Approaches
- Blepharoplasty
- Canthoplasty & Canthopexy
- Brow Lift
- Ptosis Repair
- Additional Advanced Facial Rejuvenation Techniques
The goal is not simply to demonstrate a single technique, but to provide a deeper understanding of facial anatomy, surgical decision-making, technique selection, and the different approaches used by leading surgeons around the world.
Focused didactic sessions, operative presentations, faculty discussions, and interactive Q&A allow attendees to examine how each Master approaches anatomy, surgical planning, technical challenges, and patient-specific decision-making before bringing those concepts into the cadaver lab.
HANDS-ON TRAINING IS AT THE CORE OF FACE
Concepts discussed in the classroom are reinforced through extensive hands-on training using fresh cadaver specimens.
Attendees work with two surgeons per lab station, providing substantial hands-on specimen access while maintaining a highly interactive learning environment.
Throughout the lab sessions, participating Master Surgeons circulate among the stations to demonstrate techniques, identify key anatomic landmarks, answer questions, troubleshoot challenging steps, and provide practical feedback as attendees perform the procedures themselves.
This structure gives participants the opportunity to learn the anatomy, understand the surgical strategy, observe the technique, and then perform it hands-on.
Rather than teaching one standardized approach, FACE brings together Masters with different backgrounds, specialties, techniques, and surgical philosophies—allowing attendees to compare approaches and identify principles they can incorporate into their own practice.
KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES
By the conclusion of the program, attendees should have an enhanced understanding of:
- Advanced facial and periorbital surgical anatomy
- Deep Plane and alternative facelift approaches
- Neck rejuvenation strategies and anatomic considerations
- Surgical decision-making and technique selection
- Periorbital rejuvenation techniques
- Identification and preservation of critical anatomic structures
- Strategies for achieving natural, consistent, and refined aesthetic outcomes
- Practical techniques that can be translated into clinical practice
OPTIONAL VIP SUNDAY
ONLY 12 FRESH CADAVER LAB STATIONS
Sunday, February 28, 2027
For surgeons seeking additional specimen time, greater faculty interaction, and further technique refinement, the FACE experience continues with an optional, limited-capacity VIP Sunday.
VIP Sunday is intentionally different from the main course.
Limited to only 12 fresh cadaver lab stations, Sunday creates a smaller advanced training environment centered around additional hands-on practice, technique refinement, and direct interaction with participating Master Surgeons.
Rather than simply repeating Days 1–2, Sunday is an opportunity to go deeper.
Participants can use the additional fresh cadaver training time to revisit techniques introduced during the main program, refine specific surgical steps, work through areas they found technically challenging, and explore additional advanced techniques presented by participating faculty.
MORE TIME. MORE ACCESS. MORE HANDS-ON TRAINING.
The VIP Sunday experience includes:
- Only 12 Fresh Cadaver Lab Stations
- Additional Dedicated Fresh Cadaver Training
- Smaller, More Intimate Lab Environment
- Enhanced Access to Participating Master Surgeons
- Personalized Technique Guidance & Real-Time Feedback
- Opportunity to Revisit & Refine Techniques from Days 1–2
- Additional Advanced Techniques Beyond the Core Curriculum
- More Time for Individual Questions, Troubleshooting & Technique-Specific Training
The intentionally limited format creates greater opportunity for faculty interaction and allows participants to focus their additional lab time on the techniques and anatomical areas most relevant to their individual educational goals.
Additional VIP Sunday techniques and participating faculty will be announced as the program is finalized.
