A unique opportunity to expand your knowledge in rhinoplasty surgery is being offered in Portland this July.

• Innovative applications of alloplastic materials

Each day of the course will feature structured panel discussions, faculty-student workshops, didactic presentations, and case analysis with the expert faculty. Participants are encouraged to bring their own difficult cases for discussion and analysis.
This course is appropriate for the resident surgeon, surgeons who wish to brush up on the fundamentals of rhinoplasty and the experienced practitioner interested in the latest technical refinements.
