VEGAS COSMETIC SURGERY & Aesthetic Dermatology June 6th - 10th, 2018 The Bellagio Las Vegas, Nevada Facial Cosmetic Surgery Advanced Aesthetic Dermatology Masters Seminars Practice Management & Marketing @VCS2018 www.VegasCosmeticSurgery.com Vegas Cosmetic Surgery and Aesthetic Dermatology – A Multi-Specialty Symposium This Symposium is now celebrating its 14th anniversary in Las Vegas under the leadership and coordination of its founder, S. Randolph Waldman, MD. Vegas Cosmetic Surgery was initiated to foster a spirit of cooperation and understanding between the four “core” specialties that are primarily involved in the science, practice, and teaching of aesthetic surgery and medicine. This Symposium is proud to host the leading educators and teachers in the fields of facial plastic surgery, plastic surgery, dermatology and oculoplastic surgery. We are extremely proud that Vegas Cosmetic Surgery and Aesthetic Dermatology was not only the first truly multi-specialty forum in the aesthetic field, but by listening to our faculty and attendees, VCS is now the largest event of its kind in North America. Dear Community of Aesthetic Surgery & Cosmetic Medicine We are really excited to showcase the 14th annual Vegas Cosmetic Surgery Symposium which takes place once again at the Bellagio. This year we have been fortunate to attract what I believe to be the leading multi-specialty faculty ever assembled at one event. We will once again feature four major meeting tracks. A Surgical Track, a Non-Invasive Track, a Masters Seminar Track, and of course our world class Practice Management and Marketing Track. The comment we most often hear from those who attend our conference is that they wish they could be in all four sessions at the same time. The second most frequent comment is “I wish I had brought key members of my staff with me” so they could attend the Practice Management Session. This year promises to raise the bar for all other meeting directors around the world! Some of the major aesthetic issues we will address include: By the numbers this year, we will feature: • Facelifting • Treatment of Acne Scars • 40 Masters Seminars (Yes, we coined this term in 1991!) • Browlifting • Neck Enhancement Alternatives • 10 Contemporary "How I Do It" Videos • Blepharoplasty • Hair Replacement Updates • 6 Panel Discussions • Rhinoplasty • Otoplasty • 360 15-20 Minute Presentations • Mid-Facelifting • Avoiding Complications • Minimally Invasive Rejuvenation • Lasers and the Aesthetic Practice And we will feature a highly acclaimed All-Star Faculty that includes: • Injectable Fillers and Neurotoxins • Peels and Micro-Needling • Fat Transfer and Stem Cells • Latest on Cosmeceuticals • 41 Facial Plastic Surgeons • Treating Unwanted Pigmentation • Wound Healing Dilemmas • 30 Plastic Surgeons • Skin Enhancement Techniques • Skin Resurfacing Alternatives • 27 Oculoplastic Surgeons • New and Emerging Technology • 35 Dermatologists • 42 Marketing and Management Professionals Some of the dilemmas and issues in your daily practice we will discuss include: All of the above will be worth 35 CME credits (for physicians, physician assistants, and nurses) making this the only conference most of you need to attend in 2018.
