SESSION SPOTLIGHT

Sunday, September 25 Why precise planning is the missing ingredient. How to plan periorbital rejuvenation with fillers – Dr Uche Aniagwu

Like most cosmetic injections, the infraorbital region tends to follow the standard steps that lead to consistently good and safe outcomes -Assessment, Planning and Execution (APE). Yet, we’ve seen an industry lean toward emphasising only the Execution phase. The uncanny thing about these phases of treatment is that a suboptimal outcome in one phase leads to greater demand in the following phase, and often that demand is unmet, leading to suboptimal injecting outcomes. The APE system may carry its greatest significance in the infraorbital region, which is notoriously difficult to treat and presents fine margins in which to execute. For the purpose of this presentation, we will be focusing on the “Planning” phase to demonstrate exactly how the marking up of the infraorbital region can be the difference between consistently non-complicated outcomes or consistently poor outcomes.

Managing complications, regulation, anatomy, consultation and communication skills, injectable treatments, body contouring and skin rejuvenation – the aesthetic medicine North conference programme has got it all.

Giving delegates access to CPD- accredited learning, our 2022 line-up brings some new faces to our Manchester event, as well as featuring some of the most successful practitioners based in the Midlands, North and Scotland, as well as leading lights from London.
