Complications of Cosmetic Procedures
Description
Marcia Ramos is Silva introduces a session on the complications of cosmetic procedures, highlighting Brazil's position as the second-largest country for such procedures after the United States. She notes the prevalence of non-specialists, including dentists, physiotherapists, and even laypeople performing these procedures, which is expected to increase the occurrence of complications. In response, they have established the Brazilian study group focused on cosmetic procedures and their complications, which has already produced several published articles and ongoing research. The symposium features expert speakers from around the world who will discuss their experiences with complications arising from various cosmetic procedures, and Marcia welcomes attendees before handing over to her co-chair Doris Haxel to introduce the first speaker.
