Massive weight loss patients present unique aesthetic and functional challenges that require more than traditional resection techniques. In this masterclass, Dr. Rodrigo Jorrat explores the integration of advanced energy devices to optimize skin retraction and body contouring outcomes.

Dr. Jorrat provides a clinical roadmap for using the Retraction platform, a smart radiofrequency technology. He details the physics behind collagen contraction, intraoperative safety maneuvers, and the specific energy parameters required for different body areas. From expanded brachioplasties to 360-degree male toracoplasties, this session is a comprehensive guide to elevating the standard of care in post-bariatric plastic surgery.

Key Takeaways:

• Diagnostic Precision: Utilizing the Rubin classification and Pittsburgh scale to evaluate lipodystrophy.

• The "Retraction" Advantage: Why this technology was selected for its superior safety profile and predictable immediate contraction.

• Clinical Realities: Honest discussion on complication management and the power of a solid doctor-patient relationship in mitigating litigation.

• Post-Op Optimization: Standardizing compression, drainage initiation, and long-term scar management.

In this insightful SAPS Academy session, Dr. Hector Garcia redefines the traditional approach to body contouring by shifting the focus from isolated gluteal augmentation to the comprehensive harmony of the "hip-to-waist" transition. Dr. Garcia challenges the limitations of the standard Hip-to-Waist Ratio (HWR), arguing that a single numerical value fails to capture the essential "curviness" and fluidity required for an attractive female silhouette.

Throughout the presentation, Dr. Garcia details his "Slim Thick" surgical philosophy, which prioritizes a small, defined waist paired with controlled hip expansion to create a seamless, three-dimensional curve. He provides a deep dive into the anatomical classification of "hip dips" and introduces his "Triangle of Expansion," a strategic framework that considers skeletal foundation, fat quality, and skin compliance to achieve predictable, high-impact results. From marking techniques to ultrasound-guided fat transfer, this masterclass offers a blueprint for creating harmonious, athletic, and feminine contours.

Key Learning Points:

• Beyond the HWR Index: Understanding why "curviness" is a superior predictor of attractiveness compared to the traditional Hip-to-Waist Ratio.

• The "Slim Thick" Philosophy: Mastering the art of creating a voluptuous yet lean silhouette through strategic fat distribution in the hips and waist.

• Anatomical Hip Dip Classification: A 3-grade system to assess and treat lateral depressions based on structural depth and patient expectations.

• The Triangle of Expansion: Evaluating the three critical pillars—foundation, fat, and compliance—to determine the limits of gluteal and hip reshaping.

• Surgical Precision & Transitions: Advanced techniques for multi-vector liposuction and "multilayer" fat grafting to avoid the "block effect" and ensure fluid transitions.

• Postoperative "Drop": Managing patient expectations regarding the 2-to-6-month expansion phase where skin compliance leads to a rounder, more natural result.

Can a plastic surgeon influence the course of dementia? Dr. Joon Pio Hong (@dr_jphong) 🇰🇷, a world leader in supermicrosurgery from Seoul, presents one of the most disruptive medical breakthroughs of the decade at SAPS Academy: the surgical approach to the brain’s lymphatic system for Alzheimer’s patients.

In this Masterclass, Dr. Hong takes us beyond conventional reconstruction, exploring how lymphatic bypass can improve the clearance of beta-amyloid proteins and transform the quality of life for patients with cognitive decline.

What you will learn in this session:

• The Logic Behind the Bypass: Understanding the "glymphatic" system and why extracranial lymphatic drainage is the key.

• Extreme Supermicrosurgery: The technical precision required to perform anastomoses on microscopic vessels with absolute accuracy.

• Recent Clinical Findings: Data on how surgical intervention impacts the progression of dementia and cognitive function.

• The Future of the Specialty: Why the plastic surgeon of the future must be integrated into neuroscience and global innovation teams.

"There are three types of people: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who have no idea what happened. We choose to be those who make things happen."

Dr. Humberto Uribe Morelli introduces Bela App, a curated medical ecosystem designed as a solution to misinformation and excessive censorship on traditional social media. Bela is more than an app; it is a movement aimed at returning professional authority to certified surgeons while providing patient safety through high-quality educational content.

Key Takeaways:

• Digital Trust: Reconnecting plastic surgery and dermatology with clinical authority over superficial aesthetics.

• Surgeon Empowerment: Tools for practice growth, ethical price controls, and high-end visual production standards (4K/HD).

• Patient Benefits: Exclusive directory of certified specialists and a validated library of 1,000+ videos.

• Monetization Roadmap: Progressive rollout of appointment scheduling, premium memberships, and collective buying power with the industry.

A perfect surgery can be overshadowed by an imperfect scar. To master the art of healing, we must intervene before fibrosis becomes irreversible.

We are proud to present our latest Industry Masterclass: SCAR Management, led by renowned dermatologist Dr. Camila Madrid. In this session, she breaks down the practical approach to preventing and treating pathological scars, moving beyond basic care into advanced clinical protocols.

Why you cannot miss this session:

• The Critical Window: Learn why the period between weeks 2 and 12 is the "golden timeframe" to prevent irreversible fibrotic cascades.

• The ASAP Protocol: A step-by-step guide developed by Dr. Madrid: Assessment, Soften, Approach, Pigment, and Texture.

• Advanced Technologies: Precision use of Vascular Lasers (PDL/IPL) for erythema and Ablative Lasers (CO2/Erbium YAG) for texture.

• Drug Delivery & Beyond: How to use micro-needling with tranexamic acid, botulinum toxin, and early silicone therapy to optimize outcomes.

• High Phototypes: Specific strategies for Latino and darker skin types to minimize the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

"Intervention must be dynamic. We don't wait for the scar to mature; we guide its evolution from day one."Elevate your post-operative results and offer your patients the excellence they expect from a SAPS-trained surgeon.

Is it possible to reduce complications in DIEP flaps to near zero? With over 28 years of experience and thousands of successful procedures, Dr. Jaume Masia 🇪🇸 joins SAPS Academy to demystify the complexity of perforator flaps and share his roadmap to surgical excellence.

In this masterclass, Dr. Masia teaches us that the key to success is not just the technique itself, but the ability to adapt and interpret tissue information in real-time.

What you will learn in this session:

• Millimetric Planning: How to use CTA and MRI to map perforators and understand blood supply before the first incision.

• Identifying the "Dominant" Vessel: The concept of the ideal perforator and how to decide between a deep system or a superficial one (SIA Flap) based on patient anatomy.

• Salvage Techniques: Critical steps for when anastomosis fails or the flap appears congested. As Dr. Masia says: "Action, never contemplation."

• Cutting-Edge Technology: The use of the Plasma Blade for precise and safe dissection near the vessels.

In his own words: "It’s not about it being difficult; it’s about surgical technique and not being lazy during dissection."

This is a unique opportunity to learn from one of the world's pioneers in reconstructive microsurgery, directly from Barcelona for our global community.
