Endorsed by The Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, The Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons and approved by the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, Mr. Graeme Southwick, Mr. Morris Ritz, Mr. Andrew Greensmith and Mr. Damon Thomas have great pleasure in inviting you to the 16th Annual Advanced Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Workshop to be held at the Crown Conference Centre from 23rd – 26th February 2012.

After many requests, we are pleased to advise that our Workshop in 2012 will focus on peri-ocular Aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. In keeping with previous workshops, a team of local experts, including ophthalmologists with an interest in oculoplastic surgery, have been invited to participate.

This year we are honored to also invite and make welcome our ophthalmology colleagues including members of ANZSOPS (Australian & New Zealand Society of Ophthalmic Plastic Surgeons) who share a common interest in oculoplastic surgery.

Our aim is for education in the many aspects of aesthetic and reconstructive peri-ocular surgery confronting Australasian Plastic Surgeons and Ophthalmologists and to raise the standards of management for the betterment of the specialty and hence to improve patient outcomes as well as to raise the bar in an already high standard plastic surgery community.

The workshop will commence with a welcome cocktail party on the evening of Thursday 23rd February 2012. It will include didactic teaching, video presentations of surgical procedures and panel for discussion. Interaction of all participants with our guests will be encouraged.

We encourage you to not only support this meeting, which has become entrenched in our yearly plastic surgery calendar, but also to become involved with all participants to help us make this a great meeting to the mutual benefit of all plastic surgeons, plastic surgery trainees, dedicated plastic surgery nurses and the trade.

This year the Workshop is being held at the Crown Conference Centre in Southbank. Crown is located in the heart of the action – Melbourne’s vibrant Southbank entertainment precinct. Crown Conference Centre is adjacent to the Crown entertainment Complex, close to the CBD, the Melbourne Exhibition Centre, and the city’s most famous arts and sporting facilities.
