New York, NY (PRWEB) September 09, 2014 -- Studies highlighting major advances in aesthetic plastic surgery will be presented at the 22nd Biennial Congress of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) taking place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from September 19 – 22, 2014. More than 1500 plastic surgeons from 75 countries will gather for four days of intensive panels, workshops and master classes. ISAPS is the leading international society for aesthetic plastic surgery with over 2700 board-certified aesthetic plastic surgeons in 96 countries.

ISAPS has become the international gold standard for providing continuing education to its members on new procedures, techniques and options in aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery and cosmetic medicine. Key topics to be presented at this Congress include:

  • Blepharoptosis as a cause of facial aging and headaches
  • New concepts in umbilicus positioning after lipoabdominoplasty
  • Hyaluronic acid for buttock enhancement
  • Facial rejuvenation without surgery with CO2 infusion gas
  • Male muscle definition with vaser assisted liposculpture and fat injection
  • Anti-aging treatment of the facial skin by adipose-derived stem cells

“This Congress demonstrates ISAPS’ commitment to promoting excellence in the field of aesthetic plastic surgery through such forums that allow plastic surgeons to exchange ideas and knowledge in-person, within a rapidly changing industry, while improving surgical techniques and exploring innovative new equipment and medical supplies, all of which are vital to this specialty. This in turn promotes patient safety on a global scale,” noted Carlos Uebel, MD, ISAPS President.
