Jaime Schwartz
Beverly Hills Breast and Body institute, USA
Keynote: LipoLift®: An Introduction to a Neurovascular-Sparing Breast Lift and Reduction Technique
Time : 09:00 AM
Biography:
Dr. Jaime S. Schwartz MD, FACS, is a board-certified plastic surgeon, a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, and a diplomate of the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He is widely known for fixing some of the most complex breast surgery problems in the industry and is considered the surgeon that other plastic surgeons turn to for education on aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. After completing his 6-year plastic and reconstructive surgery residency at Georgetown University Hospital, he was given a fellowship in advanced breast and body aesthetics at the internationally renowned Cleveland Clinic, where he held an appointment as a clinical instructor. Some of Dr. Schwartz’s accomplishments include developing U.S. National Guidelines for breast surgeries and creating the LipoLift® procedure (featured on The Doctors TV show).
Abstract:
Dr. Schwartz created the LipoLift® breast procedure to provide patients with a safer, less-invasive, breast lift and reduction option. As the pioneer of the LipoLift® technique, Dr. Schwartz has given lectures across the United States and even appeared on television programs like The Doctors TV show to discuss this revolutionary procedure.
Similar to a traditional breast reduction, the LipoLift® can make the breasts smaller, but it differs in its ability to leave more of the natural blood and nerve supply intact. The LipoLift® procedure uses liposuction of the lower and outer portions of the breasts, eliminating the parts of the breast that most women are dissatisfied with—the sides and bottom—while preserving upper-pole fullness. This technique allows Dr. Schwartz to blend and remove axillary and lateral tissue while at the same time effectively moving tissue from the bottom to the top, which makes the breasts more attractive.
LipoLift® is minimally invasive, p andatients typically don’t lose any nipple sensitivity with LipoLift®, and most state that they even have hypersensitivity of the nipples following surgery. LipoLift® is ideal for improving breast symmetry, as the technique provides far greater precision than other breast techniques, which allows Dr. Schwartz to make subtle changes that dramatically impact the appearance of the breasts. This advanced technique is less invasive, safer if someone needs a revision breast reduction, and just as effective as other breast lift and reduction techniques.

Abstract:
Inflammation is the single greatest reason for acne scar development. Consequently, the extent of scarring is associated with acne severity and delay in treatment. Each scar is different and therefore requires a customized approach.
Acne scars are currently classified into 3 different types:
(i) atrophic, (ii) hypertrophic and (iii) keloidal
A net destruction of collagen in the dermis results in atrophic nscarring. It can be further classified as ice-pick (narrow and deep, 60%), boxcar (1.5-4 mm wide, 25%) or rolling (15%). Less commonly, there is a net gain of collagen that results in hypertrophic or keloidal scars.
Ice-pick (deep pit) scars are frequently the most severe, and, unfortunately, represent around 2/3 of cases.
Fraxel or CO2 laser treatment have been considered the gold standard until recently . However, fractional radiofrequency and also the Chemical Reconstruction of Skin Scars (CROSS) technique tend to be superior to even the most advanced fractional laser for the treatment of ice pick and deep scarring. They also tend to work well for boxcar and deep rolling scars. Four treatments at monthly intervals will serve many patients well.
An added benefit is the shorter recovery time compared with Fraxel laser. TCA CROSS involves a high-strength TCA peel (50-100%) applied to the base of the scar to ablate the epithelial wall and to promote dermal remodeling. The degree of clinical improvement is proportional to the number of sessions.
Hypertrophic and keloidal scars can be injected with corticosteroids, 5-fluorouracil, bleomycin or verapamil. Alternatives include silicone dressings and cryotherapy. Freezing from within with cryoshape is advocated periodically.
Numerous 2017 publications challenge the cosmetic procedural delay following oral isotretinoin therapy. An algorithmic approach summarizes the updated recommendations.

Abstract:
Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is renowned for its inhibitory effects on the neuromuscular junction and is widely used in cosmetic dermatology. The evidence for its use in cosmetic dermatology and in non-dermatological indications is well established and more and more applications of its use beyond cosmetics are being discovered. In this presentation the currect evidence for the non-cosmetic dermatological uses of BoNT will be presented as well as my own personal; experience. The use is ion a multitude of dermatological diseases, including (but not limited to) hyperhidrosis, Darier’s disease, Hailey-Hailey disease, pompholyx, scarring, rosacea and hidradenitis suppurativa. Tips regarding the method of use and combination treatments will be discussed.

Abstract:
Hair loss is the most common hair problem and a prompt diagnosis of the type of alopecia may sometimes be extremely challenging. Methods commonly used to investigate may be invasive (biopsy), semi invasive (trichogram) or non-invasive (hair count, weighing shed hair and pull test). 'Trichoscopy' represents a valuable, noninvasive technique for the evaluation of patients with hair loss. It allows for magnified visualization of the hair and scalp skin, and may be performed with a manual dermoscope or a videodermoscope. The usual working magnifications are 20-fold to 70-fold. Although the hand-held dermoscope with 10-fold magnification may give easy and quick evaluation of hair, it does not precisely measure or document. Trichoscopic observations can be broadly grouped as hair signs, vascular patterns, pigment patterns and interfollicular patterns. In this presentation, we will briefly describe the trichoscopic findings in the common categories of cicatricial and non-cicatricial alopecias such as androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, tinea capitis, trichotillomania, lichen planopilaris, discoid lupus erythematosus and hair shaft disorders. This method is simple, quick and easy to perform, reduces the need for scalp biopsy, is well accepted by patients, and is useful for monitoring treatment and follow-up. It represents a valuable link between clinical and histologic diagnosis. New data show that trichoscopy may easily replace light microscopic evaluation of pulled hairs in genetic hair shaft abnormalities.

Sufiyan M K
Kidzsmile Dental Lounge, Kuwait
Title: Treatments and trends in cosmetic dentistry
Biography:
Dr Sufiyan M K has compleated his bachelor of Dental Surgery in 2011 and Postgraduation in 2015 from Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, Bengaluru, India.

Abstract:
While traditional dentistry focuses on oral hygiene and preventing, diagnosing and treating oral disease, cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of the teeth, mouth and smile. In other words restorative, general and/or family dental practices address dental problems that require necessary treatment, whereas cosmetic dentistry provides elective – or desired – treatments or services. Technological advancements in natural-looking, tooth-colored dental materials make today’s cosmetic dental treatments more durable and predictable than in years past. Additionally, dentists are now using more conservative techniques to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible, depending upon specific clinical situation.
Increased interest in cosmetic dentistry continues to spark profound interest in procedures such as laser whitening, computerized smile analysis and straightening.This makes procedures such as smile makeovers more comfortable and convenient for patients, as well as helps to reduce recovery time.

She then moved to the UK, practising cosmetic dentistry before progressing her career by training in the field of Facial Aesthetics.At the prestigious Royal College of Surgeons, she trained under leading facial aesthetic experts in all aspects of medical aesthetics.
Abstract:
The lips and the perioral soft tissues play a key role in facial attractiveness. The correct soft-hard tissue balance is important for achieving and maintaining a pleasing aesthetic appearance and function.The perioral region is considered one of the most difficult areas to treat as it is the most dynamic.A safe and effective cosmetic practice relies on a thorough knowledge and detailed understanding of facial anatomy. When assessing a patient for perioral rejuvenation, it is essential that the practitioner understands the perioral anatomy so that high-risk areas may be identified and precautions are taken to prevent serious adverse events from occurring.
Rejuvenation of the perioral complex can be very challenging because of the many factors that affect the appearance of this area. To create a more youthful, natural-looking form, the physician endeavours to reverse some of the changes that occur due to ageing. Environmental issues must also be addressed, such as smoking, diet, sun damage, and poor dental health.Ageing of the perioral region seems to be amongst the main reasons people seek surgical or nonsurgical aesthetic treatments. Understanding the components of facial ageing will result in a better understanding of the patient’s individual needs and therefore better-tailored treatment plans.When discussing ideal aesthetics and treatment planning for patients, it is important to recognise the differences in races, genders, cultures and aesthetic ideas.
