MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery is to
foster, promote, support, augment, develop and encourage the
science, art and practice of cosmetic surgery.
Learning Objective: The American Academy of Cosmetic
Surgery strives to assist cosmetic surgeons and patients in
maximizing the efficacy and safety of liposuction surgery. At the
completion of this conference, participants should gain a greater
understanding of the basic fundamentals, as well as the more
advanced applications of liposuction – from pure tumescent
liposuction to the latest in automated liposuction
instrumentation. Throughout the conference, emphasis will be
placed on maximizing aesthetic results and minimizing
untoward outcomes. Participants will have the opportunity to
learn the advantages, disadvantages and limitations of virtually
all surgical options available in the rapidly advancing field of
liposuction and lipotransfer presented by a multidisciplinary
group of experts.
Participant Profile: This course is appropriate for cosmetic
surgeons of all skill levels. The ideal meeting participant will
have an active interest in liposuction surgery and a personal
commitment to patient safety and satisfaction.
Needs Assessment: Liposuction is one of the most frequently
requested cosmetic procedures. Perhaps more than any other
cosmetic procedure, liposuction has advanced rapidly and
techniques are still evolving and undergoing refinement. Safety
concerns about techniques of liposuction make it imperative that
the cosmetic surgeon be well informed about the latest scientific
developments and advances in the field.
Dear Attendees,
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2004
Welcome to the 2004 World Congress on Liposuction Surgery in St. Louis,
Missouri, the gateway to the West! The American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery
is pleased to sponsor this biennial event, which honors not only such
accomplished surgeons as Giorgio Fischer, MD, presenter of the 2004 Garry
Fenno Memorial Lecture, but other cosmetic greats including Alberto
DiGiuseppe, MD, Doris Hexsel, MD, Ali Sajjadian, MD and Kacey Marra, Ph.D.
4:00 – 7:00 pm
Just some of the exciting topics to be covered at this meeting include the latest
advances in fat transfer, aesthetic planning in facial fat grafting, subcision in the
treatment of cellulite, body lift surgery and the reduction of serious adverse
effects in liposuction.
There will also be numerous opportunities for additional learning at panel
discussions and question and answer sessions. Furthermore, the Academy will
offer a very special ticketed event, "Dinner with the Faculty," for those who
wish to attend.
We invite you and your colleagues to join us for what we believe will be our
finest liposuction meeting to date. St. Louis is a wonderful city to visit in the
fall and will make a fantastic destination for you, your family and friends.

(Program Subject to Change)
Considered to be a founding father of liposuction, the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery proudly welcomes the
President of the International Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Giorgio Fischer, to the 2004 World Congress on
Liposuction.
Throughout his many years of innovation, Dr. Fischer has exemplified the spirit of the Garry Fenno Memorial Lecture.
In addition to the Garry Fenno Memorial Lecture, Dr. Fischer is an honored guest and a featured speaker at this year's
World Congress. The Garry Fenno Memorial Lecture was established to honor the late Garry Fenno, MD, and acknowledge
individuals who have made substantial contributions to the field of cosmetic surgery, specifically liposuction surgery.
Dr. Fischer, who received his medical degree from the University La Sapienza, Rome, Italy, has been surrounded by
cosmetic surgery and the quest for beauty his entire life. His father, Dr. Arpad Fischer, was the first surgeon to practice
cosmetic surgery in Italy after being granted permission by the Vatican in 1956. Father and son later went on to invent the
procedure known today as liposculpture and in 1975, introduced it to the world with much fanfare in Paris, France. In
1986, Dr. Fischer founded the Societa Italiana di Liposcultura and in 1992, he designed the first operating table for
orthostatic liposculpture. In addition to his busy private practice, Dr. Fischer continues to author papers and travel the
world speaking about cosmetic surgery.
ALBERTO DIGIUSEPPE, MD
"Vaser Ultrasound-Assisted Lipoplasty: Evolution of a Technique in 12 Years of History"
With more than 2,000 clinical cases of ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty to his record and more than 250 papers published in national
and international journals, such as the Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Journal and Plastic & Reconstructive Journal, the American Academy
of Cosmetic Surgery is truly honored to welcome Dr. Alberto DiGiuseppe. After completing his training in plastic surgery at East
Grinstead and Mount Vernon Hospital in England, Dr. DiGiuseppe trained in the United States in microsurgery. In addition to his
demanding private practice schedule, he is an Assistant Clinical Professor in Plastic Surgery at the University of Ancona, Italy, a
Professor at the Lipoplasty University in Austin, Texas, and an Associate Professor of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the
University of Oradea, Romania. Dr. DiGiuseppe also sits on the editorial board of the International Journal of Dermatology and
Aesthetic Surgery. He is board-certified in both plastic surgery and oral maxillofacial surgery and is a member of the European
Academy of Cosmetic Surgery and International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

investigating polymeric biomaterials for tissue engineering applications. Marra is the Director of the Plastic Surgery Research
Laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh, where her research focuses on utilizing adipose-derived stem cells for neuronal tissue
engineering applications. Her additional projects examine the use of adult stem cells for cartilage, fat and bone regeneration. As a
faculty member of the Bone Tissue Engineering Center (BTEC) at Carnegie Mellon, she conducted studies related to polymer and
ceramic scaffolds, and remains a member of BTEC.
ALI SAJJADIAN, MD
"Latest Advances in Fat Culture"
Dr. Ali Sajjadian is an academic leader in the field of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. He completed his undergraduate
studies at the University of South Florida/Tampa and went on to receive his medical degree from MCP-Hahnemann University

ACCREDITATION STATEMENT
The American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery is accredited by the Accreditation Council for
Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education (CME) for
physicians. AACS takes responsibility for the content, quality and scientific integrity of this CME
activity.
AACS: CREATING PATHWAYS TO LEARNING
AACS believes it is important to incorporate several
different learning methods to complete the educational
process. Certainly, didactic lectures with questions and
answers, such as those found during general sessions, are
important. The sharing of experiences from colleagues is
invaluable, but is not sufficient for a total learning
experience. Concentrated learning sessions provided in our
instruction courses are another very important facet of the
process, allowing individuals quality time with one or more
experts.
The American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery designates these continuing medical education
opportunities to meet the criteria for hour-for-hour credit in Category 1 of the Physician’s
Recognition Award of the American Medical Association. (See the CME statement at the beginning of
each program for the maximum number of hours available.)
CLAIMING CREDIT
When you pick-up your badge, you will be given a packet containing your CME tracking card. On
this card, you should track your actual hours of attendance for each day of the meeting. You then
keep this tracking card in your personal files as the actual hours of CME credit you earned for the
meeting. Appropriate credit for attendance should be ascertained and reported by each individual
physician to the particular state or medical society to which he or she belongs.
No surgical learning process, however, is complete without
a workshop setting that incorporates focused lectures with
demonstrations, and if possible, either simulated or actual
hands-on experience.
VERIFICATION OF ATTENDANCE
You will receive evaluation forms for all sessions at the meeting. Please fill out the forms completely
and deposit them in the collection box at the Registration Desk. Upon receipt of your completed
session evaluation form at the conclusion of the meeting, the Academy will send you a certificate of
attendance for the meeting and the number of CME hours reported. This should also be kept in
your personal records. You are responsible for tracking all CME credits earned.
Whether it is an established technique or one still
unfolding, the learning process must be thorough and
multi-faceted. The Academy urges each surgeon to be
responsible for seeking out a complete pathway to training,
prior to incorporating any technique into his/her practice.
Patient safety and satisfaction can only be achieved through
a commitment to comprehensive physician education and
learning.

Upholding its tradition of educational excellence, the program will include everything from
pre-operative planning to patient safety. Learn about the latest use of lasers in liposuction,
techniques in development and the art of sculpting. Presentations by Masters of the art, as
well as new researchers, will offer something for everyone regarding liposuction of the face,
neck and body.
The Ritz-Carlton St. Louis will be our host for this spectacular event. Located in Clayton, St.
Louis’ most fashionable and upscale city-suburb, attendees will find themselves within
walking distance of more than seventy of the city’s finest shops and galleries. Clayton is
conveniently located halfway between Lambert International Airport and downtown St.
Louis, approximately twelve minutes to either destination. The Ritz-Carlton St. Louis
features 301 guestrooms with marble baths and French doors opening onto private
balconies. The property includes two Four-Diamond restaurants, a fitness center with
indoor lap and hydrotherapy pools, a cigar bar and nightly entertainment
in the lobby lounge.
With moderate fall weather and temperatures in the 60’s, St. Louis is the perfect destination
and offers a variety of shopping, dining, cultural, historic and family attractions. While the
Gateway Arch is a top attraction, there is much more to see and do. Immerse yourself in
history at exhibits and events throughout the city celebrating the bicentennial of Lewis and
Clark’s incredible 8,000-mile journey that opened the door to the West. Relive the sights
and sounds of the 1904 World’s Fair and Louisiana Purchase Exposition with artifacts,
photographs, early motion pictures and more on display in Forest Park. Or, participate in a
reenactment of the Dred Scott slavery trial that took place at the historic Old Courthouse.
Museum lovers will find a wealth of free museums and galleries. "Ford Free Fridays"
at the St. Louis Art Museum offer free admission to special exhibitions, including films,
discussions, programs and performances. Grant’s Farm, the former homestead of
Ulysses S. Grant, is now a wildlife preserve featuring more than 1,000 animals from
six continents. If you are looking for the famed Anheuser-Busch Clydesdales, visit the
historic brewery for a free tour of the brewhouse, stables, lager cellar, plant and more.
Sports fans can cheer on the home-team St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium as they battle
the Milwaukee Brewers and those feeling lucky can play a few hands at a riverboat casino.

ADVANCE REGISTRATION
Advance registration deadline is September 1, 2004. AACS Headquarters must
receive all advance registrations and payments by this date. This deadline allows
us to adequately plan for and confirm your participation. All attendees are
strongly encouraged to register in advance for the meeting as space is limited
and registration will be granted on a first-paid basis only.
ACADEMY SCHEDULE OF
EVENTS
After September 1, 2004 and On-Site: Should you decide to register after
September 1st, it will be considered an on-site registration and an additional
$100 will be added to each attendee registration fee, regardless of the original
date of receipt of the registration packet. Furthermore, it may not be possible for
AACS Headquarters to confirm your registration after this date. This could add
to your registration time on-site.

CONFIRMATIONS
Each attendee registered in advance will receive a confirmation of registration
from AACS Headquarters. Please bring a copy of your registration confirmation
letter to on-site registration to speed up the process. If you do not have a
confirmation letter and there is no record payment receipt by AACS
Headquarters, you will be required to provide payment on-site, even if you think
a payment was remitted previously. Any resulting duplicate payments will be
resolved following the meeting.
SPOUSES AND GUESTS
It is always the Academy’s pleasure to welcome the spouses and families of
meeting registrants. However, each guest is required to purchase a special badge
to participate in any event. Cost of the badge is solely to defray meal and
beverage expenses.
Please also note that spouses and guests are not admitted to the educational
program meetings as seating is limited and reserved for the paid meeting
registrants. To ensure fairness for those paying the appropriate registration fees,
any spouse or companion wishing to attend any sessions must register as a
surgical assistant/ancillary provider, provided he/she is not currently a practicing
physician. Practicing physicians must register as nonmember guest physicians. A
spouse/companion badge will not be sufficient for entry into the session rooms.
The Academy thanks everyone in advance for his/her cooperation in this matter.
ON-SITE REGISTRATION & BADGE PICK-UP
The AACS Registration Desk will be located in The Ritz-Carlton Ballroom Foyer.
Please keep in mind that on-site registration can be time consuming. Everyone is
strongly encouraged to register prior to the September 1st deadline to avoid
delays, filled courses and having to pay a higher registration fee. You are
reminded to bring your confirmation letter when you pick-up your badge and
meeting materials – if you do not have a confirmation letter, we do not know
that you are registered!
We recommend that attendees allow sufficient time to pick-up their badges prior
to the meeting to avoid the last minute lines that may result in a missed session.
