The program between education and updates

This course is aimed at an international audience to impart knowledge and provide suggestions for improving practical surgical approaches. The event includes an informative and communicative part, as well as live surgery with Professor Mario Pelle Ceravolo, during which simultaneous translation is provided. 

Experts in breast plastic surgery will focus on preoperative planning and all fundamental details, as well as on challenges related to surgical procedures for excellent aesthetic results. Controversial topics and their respective solutions will also be included to continually educate and update specialists and future plastic surgeons. The latter must be able to identify all possible fundamental variables, understand how to manipulate them. Also, be aware that preoperative marking, implant selection, and meticulous execution must be accurate and performed without haste. 

Young surgeons are also encouraged to write about breast surgery with the opportunity to win the 300 CHF prize and receive certification for the “Best Paper in Surgical Techniques Development”. Dedicated to those enrolled in the course. However, to be considered eligible, a scientifically updated review of the long-term results of breast augmentation and implants must be submitted, with the first author being a young surgeon aged 35 or younger, also specialised and enrolled in the course.

Anyone enrolled in the Advanced Breast Plastic Surgery Course has the opportunity to participate for free in the Symposium organised by Similed on November 3rd, starting at 10:00 AM. Dr. Henrique Cintra will be involved in a live streaming surgery connected to the Splendid Hotel La Torre.
