Facelift Cadaveric hands-on Masterclass

Course Description

This cadaveric masterclass is designed to provide a clear hands-on anatomical foundation for modern facial cosmetic rejuvenation, with a focused emphasis on SMAS-based facelift techniques.

The course centres on deep plane and high SMAS facelift approaches, highlighting their anatomical rationale, technical execution, and key differences in dissection planes, vectoring, and tissue mobilisation. Participants will gain a structured understanding of safe surgical planes, critical ligamentous and nerve anatomy, and efficient methods for midface, lower face, and neck rejuvenation.

Rather than exhaustive procedural listing, the training emphasises conceptual clarity, surgical decision-making, and economy of dissection, allowing surgeons to refine technique while minimising risk. Practical cadaveric dissection is integrated with discussion of common pitfalls, variations in approach, and strategies to optimise outcomes across different facelift philosophies.

This course is particularly suited for surgeons seeking to consolidate and deepen their understanding of deep plane SMAS lifts, high SMAS lifts, and related facial rejuvenation procedures through an anatomy-driven framework.
