MIPSS Meeting Marbella 2023, another huge success for the Aesthetic Plastic Surgery world

6th Annual Marbella International Plastic Surgery Summer School (MIPSS) Meeting.

With five successful editions already accomplished, the sixth annual MIPSS meeting was eagerly anticipated. And disappoint, it certainly did not! The MIPSS event has developed into a prestigious, international event in the world of plastic surgery enabling surgeons from around the globe to openly share their experience, engage in discussion, contemplate the benefits and challenges of the latest techniques, as well as deliver specialist presentations within their respective areas of expertise.

MIPSS 2023 was hosted by Ocean Clinic, Marbella at the exclusive Hard Rock Hotel, five minutes from the illustrious Puerto Banus marina. With a scientific committee consisting of Mario Pelle Ceravelo (Italy), Kai Kaye (Spain), Gabriela Casabona (Spain), and Jesus Benito Ruiz (Spain) as well as a faculty of twenty-two distinguished speakers of international acclaim, the summer school was a highly-valuable opportunity for all attendees. The meeting covered the four core specialties as defined by the ISAPS; the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and was granted 21 CME credits by EACCME.

The schedule featured two days of a wide variety of live surgeries with an Aesthetic Forehead Reduction by Beatriz Berenguer, MACS lift by Alexis Verpaele, Chin Augmentation using polypropylene implants by Kai Kaye, Osseus genioplasty by Steve Cohen, Micro-ponytail lift by Constantin Stan, Breast Uplift by Reha Yavuzer, Lip Lift by Mario Pelle Ceravolo, and a Primary Rhinoplasty by Wolfgang Gubish.

Fascinating panels were held daily covering a vast array of topics and techniques within the brackets of Minimally Invasive Treatments, Body Contouring, Breast, Business and Best Practice, Upper, Lower and Mid Face, as well as Rhinoplasty. Lectures or videos and discussions were held by different specialists in their relative fields moderated by the allocated scientific committee members.

On the second and third days, hands-on workshops with live demonstrations were also held by Dr. Gabriela Casabona and Dr. Konstantin Frank focussing on the use of Ultrasound for aesthetic procedures, lip filler techniques, gluteal augmentation using energy-based devices, CaHA and threads, as well as skin quality enhancement using threads, miconeedling, and biostimulator injectables. These workshops provided an invaluable close-up and personal experience for the advanced injectable trainees, from Ocean Clinic’s world-renowned and highly-experienced doctors.

An incredible amount of knowledge and skill was exchanged during the three day event, resulting in the MIPSS 2023 being a great success. Ocean Clinic Marbella look forward to hosting the MIPSS 2024 and welcoming all participants to come and share the experience whilst embracing the unmistakable essence and pulsating lifestyle of Andalucían summertime in Marbella.
