General Surgery Cource Information

Since beginning our cosmetic facial surgery courses in 2004, Dr. Niamtu has trained hundreds of doctors from virtually every specialties including plastic surgery, dermatology, oculoplastic surgery, facial plastic surgery. ENT, oral and maxillofacial surgery, ophthalmology, cardiothoracic surgery, family practice, OB/GYN and others

The purpose of these courses is to present a didactic lecture format immediately followed by live surgical observation of the actual procedures.  In this manner, course participants learn the procedure basics and witness the actual surgery. Students are free to enter the operating room for up close and personal observation of the surgical procedures.

In the past we offered three levels of instruction, minimally invasive, basic and advanced.  Although this worked well for some doctors, we found that most attendees are interested in learning minimally invasive procedures as well as the surgical procedures.  For novice surgeons that may not yet be doing these procedures, (or do not intend to do them in the future) it is important for them to understand basic and advanced cosmetic facial procedures to best serve their patients. For the intermediate surgeon, the basic and advanced observational surgery and lectures are exactly what is needed to progress in the field. For experienced surgeons the live surgery portion serves as a good review and learning experience. 

Due to the above, this year (2010) we have decided to combine all the elements of the three courses into our Total Facial Rejuvenation Course that will be offered in May and November.  Now, for the first time, the attendee can get the experience of three courses for the price of one.

International Attendees

Dr. Niamtu stresses the fact that no practitioner regardless of his or her specialty should undertake any procedure without adequate clinical and didactic preparation. It is not suggested that advanced procedures can be mastered in a single course, however for practitioners that have completed medical school, oral and maxillofacial surgery residency or other post graduate residency programs, many of these procedures can be performed after basic didactic and clinical training.
