Thanks to the wonderful organization and warm hospitality of Prof. Dominik L. Feinendegen, Sandra Y. Feinendegen, and Dr. Pierre Quinodoz (National Secretary, Switzerland), this event brought together an exceptional international faculty of ISAPS plastic surgeons in the spectacular setting of Laufen Castle, perched above the roaring Rhine Falls—Switzerland’s largest waterfall and one of Europe’s most impressive natural landmarks.

The course offered a unique opportunity to exchange experience, knowledge, and lessons learned from complications—focusing not only on achieving excellence in aesthetic surgery, but also on managing the unexpected with skill, humility, and grace, with patient safety remaining a priority.

Sessions were filled with invaluable insights, lively debates, humor, and genuine camaraderie, making the learning experience truly memorable.
