Master Course

oculoplastic surgery

This unique fresh frozen cadaver Master Course is intended for a limited group of physicians who wish to improve their surgical and/or filler techniques for the periorbital and periocular areas. Prevention of live changing complications, for example blindness after fillers or surgery, or damaging motor nerves, is our number one priority. Knowledge and deep understanding of the 3-dimensional anatomy is key in preventing complications. Real hands-on cadaver dissections and treatments can give the clinician the anatomical insights that cannot be attained by reading books or studying images and videos.

The theoretical part of this master course is provided by means of the Lips and Eyes Symposium that will be held on 7 March 2025. Master Course delegates get free access to attend the Symposium.

The intensive hands–on training of this course will take place on 8 March 2025. Both days will be hosted in the beautiful Anatomiegebouw in Utrecht, The Netherlands.

about this course

After attending the Symposium for theoretical background and demonstration of anatomy and technique, you'll gain access to an intensive hands–on training by a team of experts in the fields of periorbital anatomy and oculoplastic surgery, led by Prof. Peerooz Saeed, Oculoplastic surgeon and full professor at the Amsterdam University Medical Center.

Understanding the correct safest treatment techniques will result in lower risk of complications. With cadaver specimens, we dive deep into surgical techniques. Really knowing the anatomy serves as the most valuable element of prevention of complications. 

  • exclusive opportunity to train with the best in the field
  • hands–on training day including cadaver surgery
  • attendance to the symposium included

course level: advanced

This course is intended for physicians with varying experience in aesthetic surgical procedures. As we will perform a range of complexity in aesthetic periorbital surgical procedures, entry-level physicians as well as highly experienced physicians can benefit from this course.

theoretical training

The theoretical part of this Master Course is covered by the Symposium that will be held on the day before the hands–on training. During the Symposium our faculty will share their extensive knowledge of the following indications and techniques.

01  the latest academic insights

  • Expert presentations at the forefront of the developments
  • Live cadaver dissections highlighting periorbital filler anatomy
  • Live patient filler treatments of the periorbital and periocular areas
  • Live cadaver dissections highlighting surgical periorbital anatomy
  • Live cadaver surgery of the periorbital area
  • Autologous regenerative therapy for periorbital rejuvenation
  • Chemical blepharoplasty techniques with deep phenol peels
  • Regenerative aesthetic procedures for the periorbital area
  • New developments in the field of longevity medicine
  • Network with top experts in the field

02  cutting-edge techniques

  • The anatomy of the infraorbital hollow that exists of the palpebromalar groove, V-frame deformity and the tear troughs.
  • The sunken upper eyelids, also referred to as A-frame deformity or superior orbital sulcus
  • How you can create a nonsurgical canthal tilt improvement by treating the palpebromalar groove with fillers.
  • Anatomical layers and how the target depth for sunken upper eyelids is the preseptal, submuscular plane
  • How to create a single suture brow lift during a blepharoplasty 
  • The SOOF lift for hiding orbital bone resorption 
  • The current best techniques for canthopexia

A quick reference guide tailor made for this Master Course will serve as a further theoretical basis.

personalized hands-on training

Practical training is provided in the dissection room of the historical academic Anatomy Building in Utrecht, The Netherlands. During a comprehensive 1–day training program, delegates will perform hands-on cadaver dissections for surgical periorbital rejuvenation. If desired, nonsurgical filler techniques may also be practiced using died filler materials. Our faculty will guide the delegates through the various steps in blepharoplasty techniques on fresh frozen cadaver specimens.

We will have fresh frozen cadaver specimens available for a very select group of two delegates per head. Our oculoplastic surgeon professor Peerooz Saeed will share his extensive knowledge of blepharoplasty (upper and lower eyelids), brow lifting with suspension sutures, midface lift and canthopexia. 

Delegates will have ample opportunity to practice the techniques. Our academic anatomist Karl Jacobs is there to highlight specific anatomical structures to assist delegates in getting a better 3-dimensional understanding of the periorbital anatomy.
