Austin Plastic Surgeon was proud to be represented at the 18th Annual American-Brazilian Aesthetic Meeting (ABAM) in Park City, Utah this past weekend. ABAM is one of the most prestigious international aesthetic conferences in the world, bringing together top plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and aesthetic providers from over 60 countries to share cutting-edge research, innovations, and techniques shaping the future of the field. With both surgical and non-surgical tracks, it’s where the best minds in aesthetics come together to learn, collaborate, and push the industry forward.
Dr. Franco took the stage with multiple presentations covering some of the most talked-about topics in aesthetics right now, including AI in aesthetics, Sofwave and Ozempic prevention strategies, preservation breast techniques, CO2Lift, and Alloclae.
These are the conversations driving real change in the field, and it’s exciting to see Austin Plastic Surgeon at the forefront of that dialogue. PA Gilbert also delivered a highly relevant talk on weight loss and skin laxity protocols that actually work, addressing one of the biggest patient concerns in the post-GLP-1 era.
Being selected to present at a conference of this caliber speaks to the level of expertise, innovation, and commitment to education that the Austin Plastic Surgeon team brings to every patient interaction. Whether it’s in the operating room or on the international stage, the goal is always the same: staying ahead of the curve so patients receive the most advanced, evidence-based care available.
