Cadaver Dissection

Program Overview:

 

The Human Cadaver Facial Dissection Workshop for Aesthetic Physicians is a full face and neck procedural anatomy course providing practicing physicians hands-on experience exploring the complex anatomic structures of the face and neck. Fresh-frozen heads will be used to examine anatomic planes, fascia, muscles, arteries and veins. Utilizing small groups in a medical school environment, facial plastic surgeons will guide attendees through a dissection of the face and neck emphasizing both standard and evolving cosmetic injection sites.

Objectives:

 

After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:

• Describe the anatomy of the upper face, lower face, eye and neck.
• Identify the functional aspect of facial muscles, including surface landmarks.
• Differentiate between aesthetic agents.
• Select the appropriate agent for the area to be treated.
• Identify anatomical ‘danger zones’ which may result in adverse events or permanent injury if injected improperly.
• Discuss the anatomical rationale behind poor injection outcomes, including recommendations for suitable corrections.
• Perform injections for a range of indications.

Target Audience:

 

A course for Dermatologists, Plastic Surgeons, Otolaryngologists and Ophthalmologists offering enhanced facial anatomy instruction designed to bridge the knowledge gap between these specialties and expert facial plastic surgeons.
