The 2009 Aesthetic Meeting

The most important educational meeting for aesthetic plastic surgeons, in my opinion, is the ASAPS annual meeting. It's happening next week - and yours truly will be there. We'll hear "what's hot", "what's new" and "what's not working". All of the "major league" players of aesthetic plastic surgery will be there, discussing the best ways to do facelifts, rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, breast surgery, body lifts, as well as fillers, peels and lasers. A huge vendor display area allows attendees to see many new products as well.

My favorite sessions are the panels, where experts - often with conflicting opinions - debate the merits of their particular approach.

I'll be taking my notebook with me - and should have plenty of hot & juicy plastic surgery news to blog about!
