Manila, Philippines — The Philippine Academy of Aesthetic Surgery (PAAS) continues its commitment to surgical excellence and education with another highly anticipated scientific meeting titled “The Ultimate Rib Rhinoplasty”, to be held on July 17, 2025, at 6:00 PM. The session will take place at the Natrpharm Inc. Office, Patriot Building, Kilometer 18 West Service Road, Parañaque City.
Precision and Power: Rib Grafting in Modern Rhinoplasty
The spotlight lecture will be delivered by Dr. Galen Clark Perez, FPSOHNS, FPAAS, who will share advanced surgical techniques and pearls on using autologous rib cartilage in aesthetic and reconstructive rhinoplasty. Known for his expertise and artistry in nasal surgery, Dr. Perez will walk participants through the practical, anatomical, and aesthetic considerations that make rib grafting a gold standard for complex rhinoplasty cases.
Attendees can expect an in-depth discussion on the indications for rib harvest, strategies to minimize donor-site morbidity, carving and shaping techniques, and achieving long-lasting, natural nasal contours. Live case images and intraoperative insights will enhance the learning experience, bringing the audience closer to the operative field.
Enhancing Safety: Antibiotic Use in Cosmetic Surgery
Complementing the main lecture is a vital discussion on “Antibiotics in Cosmetic Surgery” presented by Dr. Donna Velasco-Sibug, PAAS Training Fellow. The session will focus on evidence-based antibiotic stewardship — balancing infection prevention with responsible prescribing practices to minimize resistance and complications. Dr. Velasco-Sibug will highlight current guidelines, surgical prophylaxis protocols, and best practices for both minor and major aesthetic procedures.
Empowering Learning Through Collaboration
This scientific event underscores PAAS’s ongoing dedication to advancing safe, ethical, and globally aligned aesthetic surgery training in the Philippines. By bringing together established experts and rising fellows in one platform, PAAS continues to nurture a culture of mentorship and continuous learning within the field.
“Our scientific meetings aim not just to teach technique, but to cultivate excellence, humility, and integrity among our members,” noted the PAAS leadership. “Through sessions like this, we empower surgeons to stay ahead of evolving standards and innovations in aesthetic medicine.”
