CRANIOFACIAL RECONSTRUCTION Conference PART 1: The Nose

For this inaugural edition, we’ve chosen a theme that resonates with professionals across the field: the nose. Nasal reconstruction and aesthetics are areas where both surgeons and anaplastologists play essential roles. This conference offers a wide range of presentations, workshops, and demonstrations led by renowned experts, focusing on the latest techniques and challenges in nasal reconstruction.
