Desired outcomes:
This is a condensed version of the renowned two-day Melbourne Advanced Facial Anatomy Course, specifically oriented for surgeons wanting to learn how to safely incorporate the latest advances in understanding facial anatomy into their facelift surgery. The course is tightly structured as a guided, hands on dissection program, having only two participants for each cadaver head, with a highly experienced dissection tutor for each four participants. The attendees readily learn how to define and then dissect within the safety of the sub-SMAS facial spaces. Then to define the intervals between the spaces. Surgeons rapidly gain confidence from appreciating the predictable location of the facial nerve branches in relation to the ligaments in the intervals between spaces, enabling them to utilize the benefit of this powerful technique. This course is surgery focused, utilizing the appropriate surgical technique for each specific area of anatomy and using only quality plastic surgery instruments.

ONLY LIMITED PLACES AVAILABLE – SECURE YOUR PLACE FOR OUR SECOND GRADUATE MAFAC

It is not an exaggeration to say that this upcoming Graduate MAFAC will be a profound learning experience.  It is been specifically designed as an Advanced Course because of the requirement that attendees for this Course must have previously participated in a MAFAC Course.

MAFAC will be held at, Medical Engineering Research Facility (MERF) Queensland University of Technology. Prince Charles Hospital Campus, Staib Rd, Chermside Qld 4032. Registration commences at 7.30am with a 8am Course start time Wednesday 2nd October. Please note we have a MAFAC dinner this evening at 7pm. Course concludes Thursday 3rd usually around 4.30pm.

This Course is not intended to cater for basic level anatomy learning, but to take your understanding to the next level. All participants will be attending the Course for a second and some for a third or fourth time, looking for a higher level of learning, beyond their experience from previous Courses and its’ application into their surgery. This Course will feature Internationally renowned Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr Andrew Jacono from New York City, USA.

Clinical application of the anatomy in aesthetic facial surgery is the focus of this Course. A renowned local and international Faculty will act as your Dissection Tutor, with the ration of 2-4 participants per tutor.

This unique Graduate Course will be a landmark event, as it is not planned to occur for another 2 years.  For this reason we recommend to those who have registered an interest that they confirm their registration promptly as already the number of ‘expressions’ of interest well exceeds the limited number of remaining places available.
