Friday Session
6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

The course begins Friday evening with a didactic lecture covering the principals and benefits of preoperative tissue expansion with the Brava System, fat harvesting techniques and new methods of preparing grafted tissue for implantation along with “live” pre-operative marking of the patient’s harvesting and re-injection sites.

Saturday Session
7:00 am - 6:00 pm

The Saturday morning session will begin with a “live” patient surgical prcedure demonstrating the principals of large-volume , single-state autologous fat transfer to the breasts. The participants will be further educated on the principals of tumescent liposuction, harvesting and preparation of the adipose tissue and fat re-injection techniques. Lunch will be provided following the first case and an informal question and answer period will be conducted at this time. The afternoon session offers a repeat of the morning session with a second “live” patient demonstration offering a review of the techniques. With this session, proper post-operative discharge instructions will be conducted with patients and their families. The course “wrap-up” will include a question and answer session and a discussion of the current medical literature on autologous fat transfer and the future.
