We welcome everyone around the globe to attend the Conference on “13^th World Congress on Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery” during December 9-10,2021 | Webinar which incorporates incite keynote introductions, Poster introductions, Exhibitions and Oral talks. The gathering chiefly concentrates on theme “Implementation of new Era in the Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery”

Track 1:  Plastic Surgery

Plastic Surgery is a process where a human body is evolved by restoration, reconstruction, or alteration. Plastic Surgery can be mainly categorised into two such as reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery. Reconstructive Surgery is where treatment or surgery is done to hand, craniofacial or the treatment to burns. Whereas the cosmetic surgery is done to improve the appearance.

It is a procedure to remake and re-established the harmed pieces of body back to its place. This process is used to recreate head, neck, and face after diseases by maxillofacial specialists and otorhino laryngologists.

• Breast Reconstruction / Reduction
• Cleft lip and palate repair
• Fat grafting and adipose stem cell therapy
• Scar treatment / wound care

• Skin cancer removal

Track 4: Aesthetic Surgical & Non-Surgical Procedures

Aesthetic Medicine is term that specifies our focuses on improving cosmetic appearance by treatment for various parts of the body like scars, skin laxity, wrinkles, moles, liver spots, excess fat, cellulite, unwanted hair, skin discoloration, and spider veins.

This can be achieved by any of the surgical and/or non-surgical procedures. This method mainly use laser light with high heat energy which destroys thin sections of skin. It uses a process where top layer is removed while underlying layers get heated up. This results in the growth of new collagen fibres which stimulates new skin growth that is much smoother. This process can be done by a plastic surgeon or dermatologist. This may treat us wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, or forehead individually or can treat an entire face.

Track 11: Anaesthesia for Plastic Surgery

Plastic Surgery is one of the most advanced and highly used practices throughout the world. In the current research it is   possible to operate patients with pathologies which were not previously happen. This led to the progress in anaesthesiology. The reduce in the overall cost had resulted in the exponential growth of plastic and reconstructive surgery procedures. There are some Anesthetic medicines availing in market these days which are local, regional, or general anesthesia or conscious sedation used routinely and allowing us to manage patients for short stay. But they may cause pain, nausea, and vomiting sometimes.

Track 12: Cosmetic Dentistry

Skin color and being exposed to sunlight can increase the danger of basal cell carcinoma and epithelial cell carcinoma of the skin. Basal cell carcinoma, epithelial cell carcinoma of the skin, and keratosis often appear as a change within the skin. Tests or procedures that examine the skin are wont to detect and diagnose basal cell carcinoma and epithelial cell carcinoma of the skin.

Track 15: Micro Surgery

Microsurgery may be a general term for surgery requiring a binocular microscope. Microsurgery may be a surgical discipline that mixes magnification with advanced diploscopes, specialized precision tools and various operating techniques.

Track 16: Pediatric Plastic Surgery

Pediatric cosmetic surgery is cosmetic surgery performed on children. Its procedures are most frequently conducted for reconstructive or cosmetic purposes. In children, this line is usually blurred, as many congenital deformities impair physical function also as aesthetics. Surgery is defined as treating injuries or conditions with operative instrumental treatment. Plastic is a derivative of the Greek word plastikos, which means "to build up" or "to take form".  Children structure roughly 3% of all cosmetic surgery procedures, and therefore the majority of those procedures correct a congenital deformity.  Cosmetic surgery is defined as a surgery undertaken to enhance the physical appearance and self-esteem of a patient.

Replacement joints are developed which will be utilized in hands for joints destroyed by arthritis or trauma. Craniofacial surgery is a new field of endeavour in plastic surgery, involving new techniques that can be used to treat exophthalmos of Graves' disease and the facial deformities resulting from gigantism and acromegaly. Head and neck procedures have advanced, with the stress on immediate reconstruction using new flaps. Techniques for treating cleft lip and palate have been refined. Encouraging results have been reported in the treatment of nevus flammeus with argon lasers. Improved understanding of the physiology and treatment of radio necrosis has evolved.

Track 18: Non- Invasive Plastic Surgery

Non- Invasive Procedures is a practice that is done by limited physical signs and minimal downtime and mostly uses traditional cosmetic procedures.  They include

• Cool Sculpting
• Power Ultra shape
• Ultherapy

Market Research:

Globally the plastic surgery industry is divided into extensive variety of surgical and non-surgical procedures. The surgical procedures are further categorized into sub specialities such as liposuction, Rhinoplasty, Abdominoplasty, eyelid surgery, Breast augmentation. With betterment of existing technologies and less expensive procedures plastic surgery has been nothing short of miracle. Plastic surgery has become more accessible as the statistics show an increase in the procedures performed year on year. Many procedures have become less invasive with fewer side effects and shorter recovery. With these benefits, it's no wonder that an increasing number of women and men are turning to surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures to improve their appearance. Not only appearance but, plastic surgery is done to reconstruct a malfunctioning body part or to treat people suffering from burn injuries.

ISPAS, International society of aesthetic and plastic surgery, which is also the major regulating body internationally, has released its statistical report on aesthetic and plastic surgery in 2016 that shows a great future is lying ahead for plastic surgery industry.

According to ASPS, American Society of Plastic Surgeons, around 15.9million minimally invasive cosmetic procedures were performed in USA in 2015, which recorded a 2 per cent increase from previous year. Of which 14.2 million minimally invasive procedures and 1.7 cosmetic surgical procedures were performed. Both the procedures registered a 2 per cent increase in 2015.
