The invitation to present on the ideas and innovations panel is the second invitation Dr. Maercks received from the ISAPS committee this year thus he will be presenting his uniquely natural appearing breast augmentation the Cold-Subfascial Breast Augmentation as part of the breast aesthetics panel as well. Both techniques share the similarity of being tailored to create a very natural appearing beauty without stigmata of intervention.

Dr. Maercks internationally honored innovative technique of "Aesthetic Facial Balancing" is very disparate from common filler or volumizing applications in facial aesthetics. Instead of filling a line or a focal defect, Dr. Maercks uses his understanding of art aesthetics and human perception to transform a patient's appearance to a more beautiful, striking and youthful version of themselves. Maercks uses volumes much larger than most practitioners in his procedures and still delivers results that look made by nature. Years ago Aesthetic Facial Balancing grew in popularity when Dr. Maercks released a mini documentary of him injecting 35 milliliters of the hyaluronic acid product Juvederm into his own face delivering a profound yet subtle result (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAf3JrC5Nxc). He recently released photos of his face over two years ago untreated and just days ago demonstrating the procedure endures for years (http://www.rianmaercksmd.com/plastic-surgery/face/aesthetic-facial-balancing ).

The ISAPS invitation to present this technique and treatment philosophy to the most important aesthetic plastic surgery congress in the world signifies the growing international interest in Dr. Maercks paradigm shift in the use of volume for aesthetic interventions. Maercks comments "my use of fillers contradicts industry direction and FDA guided practices. To produce naturally beautiful form we must understand a more global notion of aesthetics and have insight into the process of human perception and aesthetic evaluation. We cannot target focal areas of the face ignoring facial balance and harmony and expect beautiful or even humanoid results. This is why so many treated patients have an unpleasant 'operated facies.'"

The biennial congress of ISAPS will be held in Rio de Janiero Brazil September 19-22 2014. Dr. Maercks conducts exclusive private consultations and treatments at The Maercks Institute, 4500 Biscayne Boulevard Suite 104, Miami Florida 33137. Consultations are arranged by calling 305.328.8256 or Email
