11th Annual International Conference of the Pan Asian Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Board-certified otolaryngologist and facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon Neil A. Gordon of the New England Surgical Center, LLC, located at The Retreat at Split Rock, was honored to be invited as a highly-respected international expert on facial rejuvenation to the 11th Annual International Conference of the Pan Asian Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. The prestigious 2023 International Conference of Facial Plastic Surgery featured an 11-Day Facial Plastic Surgery Course in beautiful Singapore.

The Pan Asian Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (PAAFPRS) promotes the training and practices of Facial Plastic Surgery in Asia (FPSA). It is a member of the International Federation of Facial Plastic Surgery Societies (IFFPSS). The international conference and gala dinner occurred at the Regent Hotel on February 21-22, 2023, with combined lectures and structured instruction at the Auditorium/Surgical skills laboratory, at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital and Carlton Hotel in Singapore on February 18-28, 2023.

During the 11-Day Facial Plastic Surgery Course, Dr. Neil A. Gordon, M.D., served as an international teacher of honor. During the course on aesthetic surgery on February 21-22, he shared his clinical expertise and advanced research on deep-plane facelift techniques, brow lifting, and other innovations in aesthetic surgery. Dr. Gordon also demonstrated the deep-plane facelift and other strategic methods during the cadaver dissections.

Dr. Gordon’s Advanced Techniques

Dr. Neil A. Gordon specializes in facial rejuvenation and rhinoplasty and only performs facial and neck surgery. He is a widely-recognized pioneer and expert in deep-plane facelifts. Dr. Gordon has created advanced facial rejuvenation procedures and is an educator to plastic surgeons and medical professionals worldwide, featuring educational presentations for advanced deep-plane rhytidectomy and vertical galea advancement displaying innovative brow lift techniques.

Vertical Platysma Advancement/Advanced Deep-Plane Facelift

Dr. Gordon has been invited to lecture on his advanced deep-plane facelift techniques every year since 1996, both nationally and internationally. He specifically focuses on modifications and nuances of the original method to achieve specific goals utilizing a strategic approach for revision and redo-facelifts. Dr. Gordon’s technical improvements have led to the development of vertical platysma advancement.

The deep-plane rhytidectomy (facelift) and vertical platysma advancement use sophisticated procedural techniques to reposition sagging soft tissue without unnatural tightening or pulling. Dr. Gordon is widely admired for his ability to adjust and alter overly pulled facial skin and eyebrows. The deep-plane or vertical platysma advancement procedure creates pleasing, outstanding results and reverses poor SMAS facelift results.    

Vertical Galea Advancement

Dr. Gordon has developed the advanced vertical galea procedure, which replaces the eyebrow lift. It rejuvenates the forehead area and opens the brows to frame the eyes, rather than raising the brows and creating an unnatural appearance, as seen after a traditional brow lift. The goal of the treatment is to achieve the same soft tissue tone in the upper and lower face; the procedure is frequently performed with a deep-plane facelift.

Instead of lifting the brows, Dr. Gordon skillfully raises the galea, the underlying layer, to invisibly improve the upper face while creating total facial balance as the adjustment assists nasolabial folds and the neck. Dr. Gordon trains others to perform this revolutionary, natural-looking treatment, which can be combined with an eyelid lift.

Expanding Deep Plane Facelift Technique Internationally

Dr. Gordon has surgeons from five continents who have traveled to observe vertical platysma advancements in deep-plane facelifts. He is credited with expanding the technique in the USA, Europe, and Australia. Dr. Gordon, along with distinguished peers, helps to educate and advocate for the best medical procedures using advanced technology.

Dr. Gordon is considered an international expert in revision facelift surgery. He has published modifications for the deep-plane technique on the neck and mid-face and has contributed to multiple academic books. He has numerous publications and medical literature, lectures internationally, and the popular TV show “Botched” was based on his revision work.

Many patients travel internationally to visit Dr. Gordon at the beautiful, state-of-art retreat at Split Rock Surgical Center in Wilton, CT, and two additional offices. Dr. Gordon is passionate about training other top surgeons and was honored to share his pioneering work at the 11th International Conference of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in Singapore.
