[AME]QMP MAFAC Amsterdam 2022 Livestream (Videos)

This course is specifically oriented for surgeons who want to learn how to safely incorporate the latest advances in understanding facial anatomy into their face-lift surgery. Learn how to define and then dissect within the safety of the subSMAS facial spaces, and to define the intervals between the spaces. Rapidly gain confidence from appreciating the predictable location of the facial nerve branches in relation to the ligaments in the intervals between spaces, enabling you to use the benefit of this powerful technique.

Online access to the meeting will let you experience this outstanding educational event from the comfort of your own home!

PROGRAM

INTRODUCTORY LECTURES

• What to Expect From This Course by Dr. Howard Webster
• Philosophy of Understanding and Principles of Facial Anatomy by Dr. Bryan Mendelson

HANDS ON CADAVER DISSECTION (Right side of face)

SESSION A: SETTING UP AND PRELIMINARY DISSECTION

• Markings for safe and effective deep plane surgery
• Infiltration for hydrodissection, hemostasis, and anesthesia
• Incisions for inconspicuous scars
• Subcutaneous undermining up to where the deep plane becomes accessible: learning to identify the platysma-auricular fascia and the orbicularis oculi and platysma muscles

SESSION B: THE PREMASSETER SPACES

• Accessing the deep plane safely using the premasseter space and the prezygomatic space

SESSION C: PREZYGOMATIC SPACE

• Precise submuscular lower lid dissection
• Dissection into the prezygomatic and premaxillary spaces

SESSION D: UPPER PREMASSETER AREA OF IMPORTANT ANATOMY ("the Mess")

• Identifying the mesozygomaticus in between the two spaces, the zygomatic ligaments, and zygomaticus major muscle ("red carpet")
• Connecting the two spaces safely to create the complete composite flap

SESSION E: THE NECK

• Extending the deep plane dissection safely into the neck; elevating the composite flap from its posterior attachments: the platysma-auricular ligament and the cervical retaining ligaments
• Performing a platysma myotomy, partial versus complete, platysma transection
• Placement of key sutures to re-create the retaining ligaments
• Closing the SMAS and closing the skin without tension

ANCILLARY PROCEDURES

• Midline deep neck anatomy and access to the subplatysma structures (SMG, digastric muscles, subplatysmal fat)
• Temporal lift as adjunct to face lift
• Lip lift

Available in HD Streaming format. Approximately 3.5 hours of cadaver dissection, lecture, and presentation videos. 2023.
