When skin care alone does not cut it

Spring Dermatology & Skin Care Expo Conference
May 14-15, 2018 | Montreal, Canada

Juris Bunkis

Orange County Plastic Surgery, USA

Keynote : Dermatol Res Skin Care

Abstract:

While understanding the importance of excellent skin care, non-surgical treatments and injectables, three are some situations where a traditional surgical approach is most appropriate. Dr. Bunkis will discuss the criteria for choosing a surgical approach for facial rejuvenation and go over the many options available to patients today. No one doubts the benefits of good skin care programs, microdermabrasion, dermaplaning, fillers and neurotoxins, Kybella® or other non or minimally invasive facial treatments. Yet there are times when a patient will expect a degree of improvement that cannot be achieved with these less invasive treatments. We will discuss our guidelines for offering more invasive procedures for facial rejuvenation. When are Kybella® injections preferable to a neck liposuction? Or should a minimally invasive radiofrequency treatment like ThermiTight® be added to the liposuction procedure. And which patient is best suited for a facelift?
