Dallas Plastic Surgeon, Rod Rohrich, MD, Awarded High Honor at the Royal Australasian College of Surgery Annual Scientific Congress
DALLAS (PRWEB) June 14, 2018 -- Dallas plastic surgeon, Dr. Rohrich, was invited last month to speak at the Royal Australasian College of Surgery (RACS) 2018 Annual Scientific Congress (ASC) and to be the recipient of the prestigious BK Rank Lecture. Benjamin Keith Rank was a world renowned plastic surgeon known as the father of plastic surgery in Australia. Dr. Rohrich was also an honored speaker at the Scientific Congress, discussing topics on patient safety and how to attain consistency and excellence in plastic surgery. The RACS 2018 ASC took place in Sydney, Australia.
During his lectures and workshops, Dr. Rohrich focused on rhinoplasty and facial rejuvenation. He described how humans age due to loss of fat in specific facial fat compartments. In the keynote BK Rank Lecture entitled "Fat Grafting: Efficacious but Safe - Where is the Evidence?" Dr. Rohrich discussed how evidence based medicine has helped make fat grafting safer and its use in reconstructive and cosmetic plastic surgery, especially in breast reconstruction. Dr. Rohrich further defined the role of fat grafting in facial and congenital reconstruction as well as its important role in facial rejuvenation. These techniques enable patients to use their own fat to reshape their face in a natural way in conjunction with a traditional deeper layer facelift including the superficial musculo aponeuroitc system (SMAS) facelift.
In addition to his lecture series, Dr. Rohrich performed cadaver dissections, live, with other international plastic surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Facial Reconstruction and Cleft and Craniofacial Workshop Anatomy Dissection. Dr. Rohrich demonstrated the open rhinoplasty approach and how to perform it in a safe and reproducible manner.

This international forum also provides attending Fellows with a valuable opportunity to share their experience, wisdom and opinions with their colleagues.
