Video Summary

In the ASPS Global Partner Webinar Series, Dr. Bob Murphy introduced distinguished surgeons, Dr. Ricardo Ventura Herrera and Dr. Osvaldo Saldanha, who shared insights into advanced techniques in plastic surgery from the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery. Dr. Ventura, from the Dominican Republic and Brazil, presented his techniques in body contouring, focusing on achieving a 3D body shape through precise marking and sculpting of anatomical units. He emphasized the importance of artistic skill and patient selection over reliance on technology for optimal results.<br /><br />Dr. Ventura detailed the delineation of the abdomen into specific zones, utilizing maneuvers like the drilling technique to achieve natural-looking contours. He also discussed dealing with common complications such as fibrotic cords and seromas, and shared his methodology for selecting patients suited for his techniques.<br /><br />Dr. Saldanha followed with his presentation on lipoabdominoplasty with anatomical definition, a method emphasizing minimal disruption of perforating vessels to enhance safety and aesthetics. He outlined the systematic approach to the procedure, including zones of liposuction, marking strategies, and the importance of preserving the abdominal muscle definition while minimizing risks like necrosis and seromas. Both experts ensured the techniques could be recreated by trainees to maintain high standards and reduce complications.<br /><br />The webinar concluded with a Q&A session, where both presenters addressed questions on technique, complications, and post-operative care. They also shared information about their educational course in Brazil, aimed at further training surgeons in these innovative techniques. Attendees were encouraged to access the session's recording on the ASPS EdNet platform for further learning.
