Visiting Chinese Surgeon with Dr. Constantinides at NYU
Sometimes I am fortunate enough to have observers from other countries watch me perform rhinoplasty surgery in New York City. This is a photo of Dr. Wen, a visiting surgeon from China that spent some time in my operating room. He was extremely pleasant and inquisitive, and I know he learned a great deal. Some day perhaps I will be able to visit him in China. Minas Constantinides, MD.
Hello,
I am a veterinary ophthalmologist at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
Veterinary ophthalmologists are responsible for doing the blepharoplastic procedures in animals.
In our residency program I am looking for a “model” to use, not cadaver tissue. In human medicine are there manufactured “dummies” if you will that residents can practice plastic procedures on?
Thank you so much for your help.
Best,
Jim
