​​Join the elite cadaver dissection hands-on masterclass and gain unparalleled expertise in facial aesthetics

August 15, 2024
​​​​​In the world of aesthetic medicine, a profound understanding of facial anatomy is not just beneficial—it's essential. Aesthetic procedures, especially those involving injectables, demand a deep knowledge of the underlying structures of the face. Without this foundation, practitioners risk compromising patient safety and clinical outcomes. 

The rise of nonsurgical aesthetic procedures
The demand for nonsurgical aesthetic procedures has surged globally, driven by their effectiveness in reducing the visible signs of aging. With this rise, the importance of facial anatomy knowledge has become more pronounced. Understanding the aging process at a structural level enables practitioners to create more effective treatment plans, leading to optimal clinical outcomes. However, this requires more than just a cursory understanding of facial anatomy—it demands a detailed, hands-on approach.

Complications in aesthetic procedures, particularly those involving injectables, are often linked to inadequate knowledge of facial anatomy. Intravascular complications, which can have devastating consequences, are a prime example. To mitigate these risks, a thorough understanding of the facial structures, down to the smallest detail, is crucial. This has led to a renewed focus on facial anatomy in medical education, particularly for aesthetic practitioners who may not have revisited this subject since their early medical training.

Bridging the knowledge gap
The AMSC Cadaver Dissection Hands-On Masterclass 2024, scheduled for September 19 at the Advanced Surgical Skills Centre (ASSC) at Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz UKM in Kuala Lumpur, is designed to address this critical need. As a prelude to the Aesthetic Medicine & Surgery Conference & Exhibition (AMSC) on September 20-21 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC), this masterclass offers a unique opportunity for practitioners to deepen their understanding of complex facial anatomy through hands-on experience.

This intensive course is not just about theory; it’s about application. Participants will delve into the layers and structures of the human face with a special emphasis on clinical application and patient outcomes. The masterclass is structured to connect every anatomical structure to its clinical implications, ensuring that participants gain a practical understanding that they can immediately apply to their practice.

The Cadaver Dissection Hands-On Masterclass 2024 boasts a lineup of globally recognized experts in the field of facial anatomy and aesthetic medicine. Participants will have the privilege of learning from:

Hands-on learning: Explore the face like never before
Participants in the masterclass will engage in a series of detailed, hands-on sessions covering the anatomy and injection techniques of various facial regions, including:
  • The forehead: Anatomy and injection techniques, followed by hands-on dissection.
  • The temple: Anatomy and injection techniques, with practical dissection.
  • The midface and infraorbital region: Detailed exploration of anatomy and injection techniques.
