Masterclass Description

This masterclass provides a deep, structured understanding of face and neck lifting surgery, focusing on restoring youthful facial contours through precise anatomical correction.
The curriculum covers both superficial and deep-level surgical approaches, emphasizing safety, natural outcomes, and long-term structural support.

Participants will explore:

• The anatomy of facial aging
• SMAS and deep-plane manipulation
• Neck lifting and platysma repair
• Midface rejuvenation strategies
• Advanced suturing and fixation techniques

The training integrates step-by-step surgical demonstrations, anatomical mapping, and technique refinement to help surgeons expand their expertise in full facial rejuvenation.

This masterclass is designed for surgeons seeking to enhance their surgical outcomes while prioritizing anatomical precision and natural aesthetic harmony.
