Introduction
Refine your surgical technique and elevate your precision with an immersive, hands-on Rhinoplasty Cadaver Workshop co-chaired by Dr. Scott McCusker and Dr. Kevin Duplechain. This focused training brings together advanced didactic lectures and expert-guided cadaver dissection to help participants sharpen their anatomical understanding and master structural and preservation rhinoplasty techniques.
Whether you’re perfecting your open approach, refining your grafting technique, or deepening your understanding of nasal support and form, this course offers an in-depth, small-group environment to practice the most current surgical concepts and strategies in rhinoplasty.
Participants will engage in detailed nasal dissection, explore key principles of structural reinforcement, and apply preservation-focused techniques aimed at optimizing long-term aesthetic and functional outcomes.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify and dissect key nasal structures relevant to structural and preservation rhinoplasty.
- Execute foundational and advanced approaches in open and closed rhinoplasty techniques.
- Apply structural rhinoplasty principles including septal extension grafts, spreader grafts, and tip support strategies.
- Describe the core tenets of preservation rhinoplasty, including dorsal preservation and high septal strip technique.
- Evaluate nasal anatomy and determine individualized plans for aesthetic and functional correction.
- Incorporate complication management strategies and revision considerations into preoperative planning.
Target Audience
This course is designed for cosmetic and facial plastic surgeons at all levels who wish to deepen their expertise in rhinoplasty. Ideal for both experienced practitioners and those expanding their surgical scope, the workshop offers practical skill-building, surgical refinement, and anatomical insight tailored to modern nasal surgery.
