This unique ‘almost live’ full-day didactic plenaries day, delivered by 24 of our top ISAPS experts, will take the audience on a comprehensive journey through the latest techniques and state-of-the-art interventions and our experts will be there, in person, to answer your questions. Our experts will demonstrate how enhancing anatomical knowledge can be applied directly to improved surgical technique and explore the latest developments, tips and advice across key anatomical areas (face, nose, breast and body).You will have the opportunity to engage in the video panel discussion and Q&A opportunities.
These lectures showcase the very latest scientific, technological, and clinical advances in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Delivered by internationally recognized leaders in the field, these lectures provide a comprehensive update on best current practice, emerging innovations, and evidence-based techniques shaping the future of patient care.
Deep Dive with an expert - is a formal, high‑level educational session in which a distinguished faculty member delivers an extended, in‑depth presentation on a specialised topic. Unlike shorter talks elsewhere in the program, these sessions give the expert more time to explore the science, techniques, evidence base, and clinical nuances of their field. They remain structured and academically rigorous, but the longer format allows for a richer narrative, detailed case discussion, and deeper insight into the expert’s approach.
You Be the Judge sessions are designed to address controversial topics and emerging concepts in aesthetic plastic surgery that generate differing viewpoints among experienced surgeons.
These sessions will explore controversial subjects through the lens of science, clinical experience, and open professional discussion.
Each debate will feature highly experienced panelists presenting distinct perspectives and approaches to the same topic, moderated by equally experienced professionals.
Speakers will have dedicated time to present and defend their viewpoints, followed by a live moderated debate and interactive discussion.
At the conclusion of each session, the audience will participate by sharing their opinions and perspectives on the debated topic, creating a dynamic and engaging educational environment.
These sessions are expected to become one of the highlights of the Congress.
5-or 3-minute presentations, themed by topic areas
New or evolving research data
Innovative or modified surgical techniques
Focused clinical series
Incremental developments to established procedures
Concise, well-structured delivery of key messages
Our previously highly popular lively open stage presentations continue the opportunity for authors to present and discuss case reports, clinical updates, or incremental findings, in an easily accessible setting. Again sessions are presented in topic themes. Poster discussions are presented within our exhibition open stages during break times, offering authors a short but high-visibility platform, when less concurrent scientific sessions are running, and in a high-profile area, allowing more of our audience to drop in.
Key points:
Short two-minute “elevator pitch” presentations from authors, of a single slide poster format presentation, followed by open moderated discussion
Located in high-traffic exhibit areas, maximizing audience reach.
Ideal for case reports, clinical updates, and focused studies.
Designed as themed, interactive sessions with strong attendee engagement.
These provide a way to showcase work digitally before, during and after the Congress. These are not presented live while on-site, but are displayed within the Congress App and digital platform, and will also be visible throughout the event on rolling presentations at the open stage sites. This ensures ongoing visibility and easy access for all delegates.
