This article was written by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Burak Sercan Erçin and is based on clinical experience. A specialist in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery; prepared in accordance with current medical literature and personal surgical data. A consultation is recommended before making any medical decisions.
Dr. Burak Sercan participated on October 1-2, 2024 in the Mendelson Advanced Facial Anatomy Course (MAFAC). The venue took place at Leiden, Netherlands. A dedicated group of surgeons attends this course to deepen their understanding of facial anatomy and sharpen their facelift skills.
The dissection program at MAFAC offers a one-of-a-kind arrangement limiting it to two individuals per cadaver head which maximizes attention and learning depth. During each session expert tutors provide guidance allowing participants to competently maneuver through the delicate sub-SMAS facial region while specifying the areas of the facial nerves. Being aware of this information helps in cutting down the dangers during surgical procedures.
The material combines theoretical concepts with real-world applications. Concise lectures on facial anatomy start the course and are followed by organized dissections using fresh cadavers for a genuine surgical simulation. Through this interactive technique surgeons like Dr. Burak develop assurance in the surgical skills vital for both safe and effective procedures.
