 Dr. Franklyn Elliott is currently counting down the days until he leaves for the Rome Breast Surgery Symposium June 6-8th. Although he’s looking forward to visiting Italy, he is also very excited to take part in this symposium. During the 3 day conference, Dr. Elliott and plastic surgeons from around the world will discuss reconstructive and aesthetic breast surgery with “Excellence as the Common Challenge.” By attending symposiums like this one and the annual Atlanta breast surgery symposium, plastic surgeons can share ideas and techniques to improve plastic and reconstructive surgery results.

A teacher at heart, Dr. Elliott is not just attending the symposium. On Thursday, he will be showing a video entitled “Finishing Touches” discussing nipple areola complex reconstruction. Later on, he will be presenting a lecture called “Masterclass,” where he will discuss breast reconstruction after different types of mastectomy and the oncoplastic approach. He will also take part in the symposium’s round table discussion about breast surgery complications.

Dr. Elliott is looking forward to meeting new people, teaching, and learning from other surgeons. Stay tuned to his blog for more details about his trip upon his return, and be sure to stay connected with him on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.

Dr. Elliott Attends the 3rd Central Asian Plastic Surgery Meeting in Uzbekistan

If you keep up with Dr. Franklyn Elliott on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+, you may be wondering what he’s recently been up to in Asia. With his passion for teaching and interest in developing plastic and reconstructive surgery techniques and technology, Dr. Elliott recently attended and lectured at the 3rd Central Asian Plastic Surgery Meeting May 1-6. Held in Uzbekistan’s capital, Tashkent, Dr. Elliott was able to tour Central Asia while presenting and attending lectures about plastic surgery.

Unlike the Annual Breast Surgery Symposium in Atlanta, the Central Asian Plastic Surgery Conference was not limited to breast surgery and included topics involving cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, as well as minimally invasive procedures. During the conference, Dr. Elliott discussed how to achieve natural facelift surgery results and breast reconstruction techniques. Conferences like these are very important because they provide opportunities for plastic surgeons to share ideas to improve their field.

While in Uzbekistan, Dr. Elliott had the opportunity to visit various cities throughout the region. Beginning in Tashkent, Dr. Elliott spent his first day exploring the Old City and visited the Barak Khan Madrasah and Tillya Sheikh Mosque. After his facelift lecture the following day, Dr. Elliott visited Samarkand, among the oldest Central Asian cities, for a night of relaxation in one of the most famous towns on the Silk Road.

 

The next day, Dr. Elliott discussed breast reconstruction using devices like tissue expanders, breast implants and acellular dermal matrices. A contributor to the TRAM technique for breast reconstruction, he continues to refine breast reconstruction techniques to make the process as easy as possible for patients while producing optimal breast reconstruction results. Following the lecture, Dr. Elliott flew to Urgench and then visited Khiva.

The city of Khiva dates back to the 6th century with an outer town that was once protected by a wall and an inner town that is still protected by brick walls. Dr. Elliott’s favorite sight during his stop in Khiva was the Djuma Mosque. Known for its unique architecture which includes 218 wooden columns supporting its roof, the Djuma Mosque was built in the 10th century and rebuilt in the 18th century. A history enthusiast, Dr. Elliott enjoyed seeing other landmarks like the Tosh Khovli Palace and Muhammad Rakhim Madrasah II and learning more about their history.
