Cosmetex Meeting Cairns 2012

The annual scientific meeting of the Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery (ACCS) and Cosmetic Physicians Society of Australasia (CPSA) will take place in May at the convention centre Cairns Queensland. http://www.cosmetex.org/cairns2012/program.php
This meeting is always a very informative event with many invited international speakers and also our own Australian contingent. Interestingly invasive surgical procedures remain a small component of the programing reflecting the preeminence of non-invasive treatments in aesthetic medical practice.
With 2 lecture session and 3 workshop sessions all running concurrently, the meeting can be quite challenging for the attendant. There are always some great technical tips to be gained from such meetings although generally it becomes apparent that one or two speakers emerge as standout educators.
However historically some speakers can incline to spruik or overly promote methods with outcomes that appear to fall well short of the hype. One is left to sort the wheat from the chaff in these presentations.
Hopefully after this meeting I will be in a position to report on some interesting developments.
