AB Plastic Surgery hosts facial contouring symposium for third straight year

AB Plastic Surgery said it completed the 2026 IFAAS Facial Contouring International Symposium in Seoul with surgeons from around the world attending. The event highlighted live surgery, 3D-CT-based planning and the clinic’s growing role in international aesthetic surgery education.

Why it matters: - The symposium put AB Plastic Surgery in front of international surgeons as a Korean facial contouring center focused on surgical education and cross-border exchange. - The event spotlighted patient-safety techniques, including 3D-CT-based planning and nerve-risk reduction, which are central concerns in facial bone surgery. - The clinic’s third straight year hosting the program suggests the symposium has become part of its international positioning in aesthetic medicine.

What happened: - AB Plastic Surgery announced the completion of the 2026 IFAAS (International Fellowship in Advanced Aesthetic Science) Facial Contouring International Symposium. - The event was held on the 18th at AB Plastic Surgery in Seoul’s Gangnam district. - Plastic surgeons from around the world attended the symposium. - AB Plastic Surgery hosted the symposium for the third consecutive year. - Dr. Jo Dong Pill served as the main speaker. - Dr. Jo Dong Pill was also invited as a keynote speaker for three straight years.

The details: - The IFAAS International Symposium is described as a global academic platform for board-certified plastic surgeons to share aesthetic surgery techniques, clinical experience and advanced medical systems. - The symposium focused on facial contouring surgery and aesthetic medical education. - AB Plastic Surgery built the academic sessions around its clinical data and experience in facial contouring surgery. - The program included in-depth lectures and a live surgery session. - The live surgery showed a precision approach using 3D-CT-based analysis to assess facial bone structure and nerve distribution. - The surgical method aimed to minimize the risk of nerve damage. - International medical professionals paid close attention to the live procedure. - A participating plastic surgeon said Dr. Jo Dong Pill’s anatomical understanding and precise resection techniques were highly impressive. - The same attendee said the surgical system considered both aesthetics and patient safety and functional outcomes. - Another attendee said the 3D-CT-based analysis and structured surgical protocols were extremely systematic. - That attendee said the techniques and clinical experiences shared at the symposium would be highly valuable in their own practice.

Between the lines: - AB Plastic Surgery is using the symposium to reinforce its credibility beyond Korea and to present its methods as a model for other surgeons. - The emphasis on precision planning and avoiding excessive bone resection reflects a broader shift in cosmetic surgery toward safety, function and data-driven decision-making. - Dr. Jo Dong Pill’s repeated keynote role signals that the clinic’s expertise is being recognized by peers abroad, not just marketed locally. - The event’s structure suggests AB Plastic Surgery is pairing clinical work with academic outreach to expand its influence in the field.

What’s next: - Dr. Jo Dong Pill said AB Plastic Surgery will continue research and global academic exchange. - The clinic said it plans to keep expanding its expertise in facial contouring. - AB Plastic Surgery said it will continue offering safer and more systematic medical services for international patients seeking plastic surgery in Korea.

The bottom line: - AB Plastic Surgery used the 2026 IFAAS symposium to showcase its facial contouring techniques, patient-safety protocols and international academic profile.
