  • WHY THIS MASTER?

    WHY THIS MASTER?

    The University Master's objective is to offer specialists in otorhinolaryngology, plastic and maxillofacial surgery a framework for theoretical-practical knowledge in the field of cosmetic-reconstructive surgery.
    In recent years the role of cosmetic surgery has assumed an increasingly important role in the surgery of the head and neck area. Therefore, adequate training of surgeons in this area is necessary.
    The purpose of this II level Master is to provide basic and advanced knowledge aimed at learning the most modern surgical techniques.
    The theoretical and practical preparation that characterizes this Master is achieved through frontal theoretical and practical lessons carried out in the sector room on anatomical preparations.
    Particular attention will also be given to the prevention and management of complications in the field of cosmetic surgery.
    The aim is therefore to train surgeons with high theoretical-practical knowledge in aesthetic and functional surgery of the cervico-cephalic district.

    Please note that according to the CNFC Resolution of 17th July 2013, "Healthcare professionals who attend, in Italy or abroad, post-graduate training courses specific to their category and during the exercise of their professional activity, are exempt from the ECM training obligation."
