Rhode Island Plastic Surgeon Delivers Lectures in Moscow to Help Russian Surgeons Raise the Quality of Patient Care

PROVIDENCE, RI--(Marketwired - May 15, 2013) - Dr. Patrick K. Sullivan, a board-certified Rhode Island plastic surgeon, is recognized as a leader in the field of plastic surgery due to his innovative techniques and his emphasis on natural-looking results. With a wealth of experience in facial rejuvenation, breast augmentation, abdominoplasty, and body contouring, Dr. Sullivan is a valuable resource for up-and-coming surgeons. On May 16^th, he will serve as an educator during a two-day conference in Moscow, Russia titled "Combined Techniques and Biotechnology in the Aesthetic Medicine."

Last month, Dr. Sullivan delivered two lectures at the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery's The Aesthetic Meeting. His lectures, which focused on facial rejuvenation, facelift procedures, and eye lifts, both sold out. According to Dr. Sullivan, the plastic surgeons at the conference were so interested in learning about natural-looking results with facial surgery that surgeons were standing in the back of the room to listen in on the lecture. Questions about new techniques and technology went on long after the end of each presentation.

While in Moscow, Dr. Sullivan will be focusing his courses on facial plastic surgery, expanding on the lectures he delivered at The Aesthetic Meeting to include additional topics at the request of the Russian conference. He is partnering with two other American plastic surgeons who will discuss body contouring and new advancements in surgical technology. Dr. Sullivan will lead several courses throughout the conference, covering topics including:

• Aesthetic Lower Eyelid Rejuvenation: Successful Solutions for Extended Lower Lid Blepharoplasty and Treatment of the Lid Cheek Junction (Circles)
• Brow lift & Periorbital Rejuvenation: Effective & Reliable Ways to Rejuvenate the Forehead, Brow & Upper Orbit Including Fat Injections
• Advanced Lower Face & Neck Rejuvenation: Lifting, Fat Contouring, Fat Injections and Stem Controversies
• Rejuvenation of the Aging Jawline: A Comprehensive Approach
• Neck Rejuvenation Including the Risk Benefit Analysis of Sub-Platysma Surgery and Successful Solutions for the Fat Sagging Neck

Because Russian plastic surgeons are striving to improve the quality of plastic surgery in Russia and establish a board of plastic surgery similar to the board in the United States, Dr. Sullivan is particularly interested in sharing his knowledge at this upcoming event. He is especially excited to discuss his unique techniques of providing patients natural but significant cosmetic results without the appearance of obvious surgery.

International involvement in the field of cosmetic surgery permits Dr. Sullivan the opportunity to share his method of careful, detailed evaluation of each individual patient as well as how to plan for successful, natural-looking results. By teaching new surgeons these techniques, the number of patients that will benefit from this knowledge will expand exponentially.

With recent achievements such as his lectures at the ASAPS's annual conference, receiving a "Top Doc" award from his peers in the industry, and his upcoming courses in Moscow, Dr. Sullivan is happy to show his Rhode Island plastic surgery patients the extent of his passion for his work. According to Dr. Sullivan, such achievements only stimulate him further to give each of his patients the best care available when they visit his practice.
