Ecuador Rhinoplasty Talks

Last week, I traveled to Salinas Beach, Ecuador for the 4th Equatorial Conference in Rhinology and Facial Plastic Surgery. This resort area of Ecuador is on the Pacific coast near Guayaquil and attracted an audience of over 150 surgeons. Also speaking at the conference were Dean Toriumi and Fernando Pedroza (of Bogota) among others. I gave rhinoplasty talks on "Basic Principles of Rhinoplasty", "Advanced Tip Techniques in Rhinoplasty", and "Complications of Rhinoplasty".

Ecuador is on the verge of joining the International Federation of Facial Plastic Surgery Societies with intensifying interest in facial plastic surgery in general. I look forward to seeing them make a successful bid for this in the next year.
