breast reconstruction results

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 3^rd 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.
