9-31 August 2011 –  (www.hespras2011.gr) For the first time we shall present two studies.

1. Liposuction with radiofrequencies, the renown Bodytite technique
2. How to choose the technique to be used for breast augmentation.
3. MACS Face lift

1) Liposuction with radiofrequencies, the renown Bodytite technique
In this paper we present cases of the past 2 years, one of the extended series of cases currently in Europe.
The result we have achieved have built up our trust in this technique.
With Bodytite we may achieve

1. Better skin contouring
2. Minimum complications

In 2009 we were the first to embrace this revolutionary and promising new technology in liposuction. Βodytite or radiofrequency-assisted liposuction.

2) A new algorithm for choosing the pocket in breast augmentation. Our experience after 1300 cases.
There are several techniques for placing silicone implants in breast augmentation. These are:

1. Subglandular
2. Subfascial
3. Submuscular
4. Dual plane submuscular
5. Dual plane muscle-splitting

Which one is the best?
All abovementioned techniques have their cons and pros. In this paper we present a new algorithm for choosing among all these techniques aiming for best possible and most natural result with minimum problems.
This algorithm was produced following the analysis of 1300 breast augmentation cases and is based on 3 parameters. We reach the conclusion that there are three techniques that are considered best for breast augmentation: the SubFascial, the Muscle-splitting dual plane and the Dual plane submuscular technique
For the first time, in this paper we propose an algorithm on how to select the appropriate pocket.

3) MACS Face Lift:
MACS Face Lift is a Face Lift technique in which very small incisions allow us to achieve maximum face lifting and natural result. This presentation is important as it refers to the suggested amendments for even better results.
To achieve best face lift, we need to elevate not only the skin but also the inner part of the face. This is the so-called SMAS.
MACS Face Lift involves very small incisions – photo I – and is based on the use of internal sutures for elevation of the inner part of the face.
Our amendments involve the following actions:
First – Photo I.  More extended preparation of the face.
Second – Photo II. V Smasectomy, which allows for better lift of the face.
Third – Incisions through the ear, allowing for an almost invisible scar.
The most important advantages are:

1. Small incisions, almost invisible
2. Natural results
3. Maximum, long-lasting lifting
4. Speedy recovery
5. Minimum to no complications

The safest method with zero problems as to facial nerves

Athens 7-8 May 2011.

Belt lipectomy: the most important surgery for massive weight loss patients.

Patients who have lost a lot of weight, usually more than 30 kg, may be in need of various plastic surgery procedures to manage shagging and loose skin.

During the congress, the surgeon’s experience on belt lipectomy procedures in Greece was presented.

6-9 January 2011 - Paris. The renown International IMCAS 2011 meeting (www.imcas.com)

We presented  3 papers. This is the first time the new Sfumato technique was presented to fellow surgeons. We presented the same technique on air (Mega TV-Greece) in December /November

1. Reducing complications and repeat surgery after Breast Augmentation.Analysis of 1236 patients
2. MACSFaceLift: Result analysis and suggested modifications. VSmasectomy
3. The new Sfumato technique: This was the first time the Sfumato technique was presented in an international medical meeting.

Baker Gordon Symposium is considered one of the most important and meetings for plastic surgery. It was first launched by Thomas Baker MD and Howard Gordon in 1967 when aesthetic surgery was still at an early stage. The symposium brings together plastic surgeons from all over the world who exchange opinions and techniques on matters of aesthetic surgery.
