“Redefining Facial Rejuvenation: Surgical Precision and Complementary Skin Therapies for Natural, Long-Lasting Results”
Edgar Reyes Colon

Facial aging is a multifactorial process involving structural descent, soft tissue volume loss, and progressive deterioration of skin quality. Traditional facelift techniques have provided improvement but often result in limited longevity or unnatural outcomes. The deep plane facelift, combined with periorbital surgery, addresses deeper anatomic layers, while the integration of advanced skin therapies enhances overall rejuvenation by restoring texture, tone, and quality.

Learning Objectives

• To understand the anatomical basis and surgical principles of the deep plane facelift and periorbital rejuvenation.

• To review the role of advanced skin therapies (laser, PRP, peels, regenerative injectables) as complementary tools in facial rejuvenation.

• To explore the synergy between surgical and non-surgical modalities for optimal, natural outcomes.

• To analyze clinical case studies demonstrating comprehensive approaches to facial aging.

• To establish protocols that maximize safety, longevity, and patient satisfaction.

Advances in Ultrahigh-Definition Closed Rhinoplasty: Precision and Natural Results
Edgar Reyes Colon

Closed rhinoplasty has evolved significantly in recent years, offering refined techniques that allow surgeons to achieve highly precise and natural outcomes without external incisions. Ultrahigh-definition rhinoplasty represents a modern approach that focuses on meticulous structural modification and preservation while enhancing facial harmony.

This lecture will provide an in-depth review of the principles, surgical steps, and key maneuvers in ultrahigh-definition closed rhinoplasty. Special emphasis will be placed on the role of structural preservation, the importance of fine anatomical understanding, and the technical pearls that lead to predictable results.

Learning Objectives:

• To understand the advantages of the closed approach in modern rhinoplasty.

• To review essential surgical maneuvers for ultrahigh-definition refinement.

• To analyze aesthetic and functional outcomes with a focus on natural harmony.

• To share case-based experiences highlighting challenges and solutions.
