The five-day British Aesthetic Meeting (BAM) was held at the Royal Society of Medicine on May 8-10, followed by two days of cadaver workshops in Coventry, May 11-12.
Attended by 250 delegates from across the world, the congress featured dozens of talks spanning the surgical and non-surgical aesthetic specialties.
The second day featured an agenda focusing on minimally invasive facial aesthetics, including a talk on anatomy for botulinum toxin from Dr Tapan Patel, a discussion of the importance of the skeleton from Dr Souphi Samizadeh and Mr Ali Ghanem talking on using electromagnetic stimulation to lift the face and more.
One of many keynote speakers was facial plastic surgeon Dr Paul Nassif, well-known for his role in the reality series Botched, who spoke live from the US on handling difficult cases and patient red flags.
Dr Christopher Rowland Payne, consultant dermatologist and co-organiser of the event, commented, “BAM was the largest aesthetic plastic surgical meeting ever yet to be held in Britain. World-class speakers came from the US, Europe, Pakistan and India to deliver some of the finest talks that I have ever heard.”
The Royal Society of Medicine has also announced its next aesthetics-focused congress – RSM Aesthetics, which will be held on September 6 and 7, 2024. The event will include a day of talks and a day of hands-on masterclass workshops from doctors, dentists and surgeons to share knowledge. Dr Rowland-Payne said, “RSM Aesthetics will bring together doctors and dentists working in all fields related to medical aesthetics, especially at the medico-surgical interface. Physicians and surgeons will be able to improve their techniques by sharing knowledge and discussion. An international faculty will be in attendance – all outstandingly stimulating, entertaining and thought-provoking speakers.”
