Barcelona, Spain, November 4-7, 2010 Industry Sponsorship & Exhibition Prospectus

A comprehensive multi-disciplinary congress fully devoted to debate the current controversies in all of the fields of Plastic Surgery & Dermatology

www.comtecmed.com/coplasdy

Dear Colleagues, The beauty industry is a constantly growing and expanding business. Over the years, the fields of plastic surgery and dermatology have undergone enormous expansion in clinical and basic data, as well as that of field-related technology. The CoPLASDy congress is the first of its kind to convene plastic surgeons and dermatologists, and continues the concept of congresses based on the debate of controversial issues as their main platform (www.comtecmed.com). In this sense CoPLASDy is unique in emphasizing the interface of surgery and noninvasive procedures. The intention of the 1st World Congress on Controversies in Plastic Surgery and Dermatology (CoPLASDy) is to function as an exclusive forum for worldleading experts from those two disciplines to share and compare experiences and tackle controversial issues in order to outline appropriate treatments and extend their services. A congress that focuses on clinical, professional, ethical, political and commercial controversies is an entirely new concept, which attracts medical experts and industry professionals alike. Ample time will be provided for discussion, and participants will have the advantage of conversing and debating unresolved issues with international opinion-leaders in their fields. The congress aims at reaching the ultimate stateof-the-art solutions, and providing clinicians with current recommendations and reliable solutions. We cordially invite you to participate in the 1st World Congress on Controversies in Plastic Surgery and Dermatology (CoPLASDy), which is intended as the first of many future congresses in this field. We look forward to an exciting scientific event in the beautiful city of Barcelona. Per Heden

PRELIMINARY SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM PLASTIC SURGERY IMPLANTS FOR BREAST RECONSTRUCTION Capsule: Better results depend on the implant or the surgeon? Debate: Can modern implants achieve similar long-term results when both breasts are reconstructed? Pros: Bilateral treatment of breast cancer with implants provides long-term stability of results with less morbidity and scarring Cons: Autologous breast reconstruction provides better long-term stability of results Debate: Breast ‘fat grafting’ vs. breast implants Pros: Breast augmentation using autologous fat is safe and results in long-term stability Cons: Cosmetic advantages of fat augmentation are yet to be proven. Impairment in early detection of breast cancer remains a concern!

BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY WITH SILICONE IMPLANTS Capsule: Do the implants make a difference? Debate: Form stable high cohesive silicone gel implants or non form stable low cohesive silicone gel implants? Pros: Formed stable anatomical implants produce a better result than non form stable ones Cons: Round implants produce the same results as anatomical ones with lower rate of rotational problems

AUTOLOGOUS FAT HARVESTING AND GRAFTING Capsule: Why is there no agreement on the best technique for fat harvesting, processing and injection? The pros and cons of segmental and suction harvest fat: How should fat be treated to increase survival? Can a simple ‘cook book’ for fat grafting be devised? Debate: Is fat processing important for the success of injection? What are the risks? Pros: It is safer to harvest fat in a simple manner and inject it in its native form! Cons: Processing of the fat before injection increases the success of the procedure!

FAT GRAFTING II Capsule: Is fat grafting capable of replacing common injectable products? Debate: When should fat grafting be preferable to other nonsurgical and surgical techniques? Pros: Face ‘fat grafting’ has no quantity limits, achieves good, long-lasting results, and is the healthiest option Cons: ‘Fat grafting’ results are not predictable Fat Injection: To correct or overcorrect? Facial fillers or fat injection – what is preferable?

‘STEM CELLS’ AS AN ADJUNCT TO FAT GRAFTING Capsule: Increased interest in the role of fat-derived stem cells in fat grafting Debate: Should we be using ‘stem cells’ derived from fat tissue as an adjunct to fat grafting? Pros: Fat-derived ‘stem cells’ can be used to improve the long-term results of fat grafting Cons: Fat-derived ‘stem cells’ are still under investigation: Risk of neoplastic induction is still unknown

INDUSTRY-PHYSICIAN RELATIONSHIPS UNDER CROSS-FIRE Capsule: What scientific tools are available for appraisal of the plethora of new compounds and devices striking the market so frequently? Open panel of industry representatives and physicians on the dilemma of new treatment choices Questions for discussion • What level of scientific evidence is necessary before introducing a new technique or compound? • Who is responsible for complications related to products? • Facial collagen-stimulating techniques: What type of documentation relating to clinical improvements should be demonstrated before release of a new technique? • Is microscopic collagen increase without clinical improvement data enough? • Skin contracture in body contouring: What type of documentation relating to clinical improvements should be demonstrated before release of a new technique? • Are microscopic changes without clinical improvement data enough? • When is clinical data sufficient? When is case demonstration enough and when do we need doubleblind randomized investigations?

MULTIDISCIPLINARY CLINIC Round Table Discussion: How to establish a multidisciplinary clinic for esthetic treatments – benefits, drawbacks, challenges and obstacles Discussion and practical tips between those who made it and those attempting to embark on an interdisciplinary clinic

GENITAL SURGERY Capsule: Should a general plastic surgeon also embark on cosmetic genital operations? Labial and vaginal rejuvenation: What are the pitfalls? Who should perform the surgery? Penile implants and elongation: What improvements have been made? Who should undertake it? Gender assignment: What innovations are there?

COSMECEUTICAL PRODUCTS IN THE ESTHETIC CLINIC Capsule: Are cosmeceuticals any different from traditional cosmetic products? What is scientifically proven about different ingredients? What is the place of cosmeceutical products in an esthetic clinic? Who should treat the patient - Plastic surgeon dermatologist or skin therapeutic? What type of skin analysis should be done?

DERMATOLOGY FACIAL REJUVENATION I Capsule: With so many options in use, and so many users, can we reach a consensus about the best method and substance? Debate: Permanent filler or absorbable? Pros: Despite higher costs and short activity, the absorbables should be preferable since they carry a low risk Cons: The slight risk of non absorbables is not important in view of the long-lasting beauty results Counter view 1: Both techniques are temporary and do not respect the entire evolution of the aging face over time Counter view 2: Both techniques respect the social needs of invisible treatment with limited downsides Can agreement be reached on the real indications and complication rate of facial silicone injections?

TREATMENT OF CELLULITE Capsule: Treatment of cellulite includes many options such as cream massage, endermology, lipodisolve, external ultrasound, radiofrequency, liposuction laser lipolysis. What are the indications and scientific documentation of these? Debate: Pros: Cellulite is a complex clinical condition that depends on genetic constitution, hormonal action, and collagen recombination, among others. Any mechanical type of treatment should have only a temporary effect. Cons: There are many types of cellulite which are not distinguishable; cellulite is a symptom and should be treated as such! Laser lipolysis: First step or last resort? External ultrasound: What are the pitfalls?

ACNE Capsule: Acne is a disorder with a high impact from medical and psychological respects in adolescents. Therefore, acne patients and their treatment management should be taken seriously. Debate: Local or systemic treatments? Pros: Local treatments result in subtle, predictable improvement Cons: Systemic treatment is more aggressive but has better results Counter view: Both techniques are essential for treatment. Early therapy avoids long-term deep acne scarring Alternatives to acne scar treatment: Where and when to treat, and when should it be stopped?

TREATMENT OF PSORIASIS Capsule: Treatment of psoriasis has changed over the past decade. Debate: New therapies vs. the gold standard in the treatment of psoriasis

ECZEMA Capsule: Steroids are commonly used for eczema Debate: Are steroids still acceptable today?

HYPERHIDROSIS AXILLARIES Capsule: Can we agree on the preferred treatment for this disturbing condition? Debate: Surgical versus Botulinum toxin-A (BTX-A) Surgical treatment is the ultimate solution BTX-A is non invasive and provides satisfactory results

THE USE OF BOTULINUM TOXIN-A Capsule: Since BTX-A has become the shooting star in cosmetic pharmacological treatments, the indications, their treatment recommendations, and philosophy of use is in continuous evolution. What do we want, and what does the patient want from BTX-A treatment? Debate: Total freeze vs. the natural look?

FACIAL REJUVENATION (WITH FRACTIONATED LASERS) II Debate: Ablative vs. nonablative laser devices? Which treatment would you like for yourself? Counter view: Both techniques are temporary, and do not meet all expectations over time!

MELANOMA Capsule: Melanoma is the most threatening disease in dermatology. Continuous scientific developments change the therapeutic approach before treatment Debate: Pre therapeutic diagnostics in melanoma vs. immediate surgical removal

FACIAL REJUVENATION III Capsule: Additional treatments are as important, but often not discussed, although they are essential for superior results Debate: Chemical Peeling, Dermabrasion, PDT, Photodynamic Therapy and IPL Intense Pulsed Light! Can we live without them? Pros: These compounds are important additional tools for superior results Cons: These compounds do not provide satisfactory, longlasting results

PLASTIC SURGERY & DERMATOLOGY THE BUSINESS OF BEAUTY Capsule: Beauty industry for all and with aggressive marketing, or by intimation only? Can we agree on the “meaning of beauty”? Debate: The business of beauty: Scientific facts and results or public relations: Which should come first? Pros: Aggressive marketing leads to unrealistic expectations, and increased malpractice suits Cons: Marketing is the first step in patient knowledge and empowerment! The cosmetic industry: What evidence is there?

LIPOSUCTION Capsule: No agreement exists on the basic aspects of liposuction Debate: What is preferable - wet, hyper-wet, or waterjet-assisted liposuction?

THREAD IN FACELIFTS Capsule: Is thread lifting enough to produce long-lasting results? Thread in combination with open surgery produces a far longer lasting effect? The place of barbed sutures in face lifting Does barbed thread lifting produce-long term or temporary effects? Does suture fixation in open facelifts produce similar results to those of traditional deep plane lifting?

FACIAL REJUVENATION Capsule: What is the importance of the skin surface in facial rejuvenation? Best method for collagen stimulation and rhytid removal

Pros: Traditional liposuction is established as safe and reproducible hence no additional risky unproven methods are required

Comparison among deep laser resurfacing, fractional laser peeling and other modalities such as radiofrequency, infrared and IPL Intense Pulsed Light treatments

Cons: Hyper-wet liposuction, despite being a longer and more cumbersome procedure, facilitates more accurate body contouring and better skin redraping

What is the best treatment for vascular lesions and pigmentation?

Post liposuction treatments (LPG - endormology, compression garments, creams, among others) - Do they play a role in the final outcome? Skin reducing body contouring (lifts) vs. liposuction: What are the limitations and indications?

NON SURGICAL BODY CONTOURING Capsule: Physicians are not always fully exposed to the methodology and results before embarking on newly-introduced technologies and treatments What evidence do we have for these new treatments? Sound-waves technology Meso-Therapy Endermology – LPG Radiofrequency and other noninvasive treatments (Thermage®, Vela Shape®) Percurtaneous ultrasound (Ultrashape®)

UPPER EYELID AND FOREHEAD REJUVENATION Capsule: Despite extensive experience no agreement exists over the basic treatment for forehead rejuvenation Forehead lifting vs. neurotoxin and filler. What is preferable? Open vs. endoscopic surgical approach What type of forehead fixation technique is preferable and produces best result predictability? Do long-term effects of nonsurgical technique treatments exist despite limited duration of the product? The benefit of combined nonsurgical treatments

LOWER EYELID AND MIDFACE REJUVENATION The place for fat removal, fat transposition and fat grafting in the lower lid Lower lid surgery vs. mid-face-lifting effects and limitations The tear through non surgical vs. surgical treatments

AGING FACE Capsule: The best method for facial rejuvenation remains the center of debate, not only within a discipline, but also among disciplines Debate: Invasive vs. noninvasive approach to the aging face Plastic surgeon: Surgical approach is comprehensive and provides lasting results! Dermatologist: There are many non- or minimally-invasive alternatives that should be tried first! What is the best basis for evaluation of a procedure? Ease of use? Patient satisfaction? Cost? Effectiveness? Non invasive approaches: What makes them so popular? Affordability? Ease of mastering? Repeated use? Lack of risks?

SURGICAL VS. NONSURGICAL FACIAL REJUVENATION Capsule: Treatment for every face? Facial rejuvenation in a crossfire between dermatologist and plastic surgeon Round Table Discussion Questions to the panellists: Which method is preferable and why? • Surgical technique • Nonsurgical (permanent vs. non permanent) • Fillers and fat • Fillers • Hyaluronic acids • Polylactic acid • Collagen • Calcium hydroxylapatite • Fat grafting techniques • Lipostructure • Lipofilling • Implants
