Recap of Rome Breast Surgery Symposium

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Dr. Franklyn Elliott has returned to Georgia after attending a short, but eventful, Breast Surgery Symposium in Rome, Italy last week.  During this three day conference, Dr. Elliott and plastic surgeons from around the world met and discussed plastic and reconstructive breast surgery. Dr. Elliott enjoys these symposiums because they give him the chance to teach fellow colleagues new techniques while hearing ideas from other experts in the field as well.

He had the opportunity participate in a roundtable discussion about complications in mammary reconstructive surgery, lead a session for experts in the field on the many different approaches for breast reconstruction surgery, and present a short video explaining nipple areola complex reconstruction.

Dr. Elliott’s “Masterclass” discussed breast reconstruction after minimal incision mastectomy, the oncoplastic approach to Breast Conserving Therapy, subcutaneous mastectomy, and symmetrization mammoplasties.

Dr. Elliott was able to meet many new people and enjoyed teaching and learning new things with other surgeons. Although his week was action packed he was able to take some time to sightsee with his daughter.  If you haven’t had a chance, be sure to check out photos from the trip on our Facebook page and be sure to stay connected through Twitter for more news and information about breast surgery and reconstruction.

Plastic Surgery Around the World

, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

We all want to look our best and the U.S. is notorious for being beauty conscious.  However, South Korea actually takes the number one spot for plastic surgery in the world.  Surprisingly, the U.S. isn’t even one of the top five nations for plastic surgery; we rank sixth.  Check out the list of the top seven nations for plastic surgery and an interesting fact about each nation, listed below:

  1. South Korea – More than 44,000 double eyelid surgeries were performed in 2010.
  2. Greece –  Plastic surgery is becoming popular in this unexpected place thanks to globalization.
  3. Italy – Botox® and Dysport® injections arethe most popular procedures performed overall.
  4. Brazil – Brazil has a number of government-based tax-deduction systems in place to support elective plastic surgery.
  5. Colombia – Colombia is a hotspot of cosmetic surgery.
  6. USA – Breast augmentation continues to be the top cosmetic surgical procedure and has held the title since 2006.
  7. Taiwan –The economy is a likely factor in Taiwan’s demand for surgery.

Plastic Surgery is no longer limited to the western world and is increasingly popularworldwide. Although, plastic surgery occurs across the globe, there is commonality in the procedures people choose. The most common procedures for all the top plastic surgery nations include liposuction and breast augmentation. Wrinkle reducing injectables like Botox® were also popular among all surgeries performed.

Breast augmentation surgery can restore breast fullness after pregnancy, dramatic weight loss, or bariatric surgery. The procedure involves the insertion of a silicone or saline filled implant that increases the size and volume of the breasts.

Liposuction removes fat deposits that don’t respond to traditional exercise and diet. Most people receive liposuction to reduce fat around their hips, abdomen, legs or buttocks. Dr. Franklyn Elliott himself has performed this procedure for over 30 years and travels the globe teaching and networking at plastic surgery symposia.  Most recently, he lectured Uzbekistan at the 3rd Central Asian Plastic Surgery Meeting and plans to attend the Rome Breast Surgery Symposium later this week.

People are realizing that plastic surgery is more common than most people previously thought and the demand will continue to grow.  If you are interested in finding more information about any cosmetic surgery procedure Dr. Elliott offers please contact our office.

 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+.
