This session of the ASPS International Trainee and Fellow Forum highlights cutting-edge techniques and ideas from emerging leaders in plastic surgery. Dr. Breyner Garcia (Argentina) presents a modified island technique for otoplasty designed to improve the natural contour and symmetry of prominent ears. Dr. Filippo Andrea Giovanni Perozzo (Italy) shares his approach to microsurgical flap selection in complex head and neck reconstructions following cancer resection. Dr. Richard Kwasnicki (UK) explores how wearable technologies can transform post-op monitoring and recovery following breast and abdominal wall surgeries. Moderated by Dr. K. Berat Oyur (Turkey), this session showcases the next generation of thought leaders in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery.

Intended Audience 
Plastic surgery residents, fellows, early-career surgeons, and surgical educators interested in global innovations in aesthetic correction, microsurgical reconstruction, and post-operative technology integration. 

Learning Objectives
