Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Much has happened since my last post.  Last month, I was invited to speak at the American Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery’s Mid-Winter Meeting.  This meeting is a joint meeting with colleagues in oculoplastic surgery and derm surgery.  This year, it was held in Vail.  The skiing was great and the meeting a success.  I spoke on “The Physician-Patient Relationship in the 21st Century” and ”Crushed, Diced and Solid Cartilage Grafts in Rhinoplasty”.  More on the first of these talks in my next post.

I have been working furiously to finalize the program of an upcoming scientific meeting that I am launching on April 17 & 18, 2008, here at NYU Medical Center.  The meeting, “Rhinoplasty and the Central Face 2008″ will be an annual meeting focusing on the esthetics of the central face.  In addition to the nose, we will cover practice management, lasers, and injectables.  This interdisciplinary meeting will bring together world-famous facial plastic surgeons, plastic surgeons and dermatologists, each discussing his/her particular area of specialty.  This is a one-of-a-kind endeavor never tried before.  I expect it to be a great success based on early feedback.  Cross your fingers!
