Emerging Trends Presented at American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery's Annual Meeting
New York, NY (Vocus) May 3, 2009 -- New techniques and devices for surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic enhancement are being introduced at a rapid pace, but do these innovations really deliver what they promise? Are the results of minimally invasive treatments, offering the benefit of little or no downtime, comparable to more extensive procedures? Are these new modalities safe and cost-effective for patients? These are the questions that leading aesthetic plastic surgeons will explore during the Hot Topics seminar at the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery's (ASAPS), May 3-7 in Las Vegas, NV.
"Presentations at the annual Hot Topics seminar focus on the most promising innovations in aesthetic surgery," says Ohio plastic surgeon Bahman Guyuron, MD, president of the Aesthetic Surgery Education and Research Foundation (ASERF), co-sponsor of Hot Topics with the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS). "Some of these techniques and devices have been in use outside the United States and may be beneficial, but others have little science behind them. So it's important for people to understand that some may not stand the test of time."
Interest in the Hot Topics sessions is so great that this year, for the first time, there will be two Hot Topics Seminars. The new International Hot Topics program will consist of speakers from outside the United States who will discuss procedures and products that are not yet available here. The widely anticipated general Hot Topics seminar will take place later that afternoon. Additionally, on Monday, May 4th there will be a Hot Topics Media Session where reporters can have a more in depth dialogue with presenters from the previous days Hot Topics sessions.
