The 31st Mendelson Advanced Facial Anatomy Course
This course offers Live (in-person) attendance options
July 29 - 31, 2024 - Mayo Clinic Siebens Building - Rochester, Minnesota
The 31st Mendelson Advanced Facial Anatomy course focuses on a deeper understanding of the deep plane facelift anatomy. It will be an extended version of the renowned two-day MAFAC Course. This course is specifically oriented for surgeons who want to learn how to safely incorporate the latest advances in understanding facial anatomy into their aesthetic facial plastic 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 every four participants. The hands-on eyelid and brow rejuvenation component will focus on contemporary approaches to eyelid and brow rejuvenation including upper blepharoplasty, ptosis repair, lower blepharoplasty, and brow lifting.
