Objectives: Welcome message from AAAMC

Introduction: Since 2014 when first AAAMC was organized our congress became the most respected event dedicated to esthetic medicine in Azerbaijan. We began from one room event with around 400 participants and within 5 years period the number of participants has grown up to 700 physicians, cosmetologists and people who is practicing in the field of rejuvenation. We are proud to say that the number of speakers climbed from 34 representing 6 countries in 2014 to 43 speakers from 22 countries this year.

Conclusion: We had 2 simultaneous live injection rooms where internationally renown faculty shared their expertise of state of the art approach to facial rejuvenation.
We are very grateful to IMCAS for their partnership and help in organising our meetings.

Objectives: Correction of A-frame deformity is not only the restoration of the volume, but also of the proportions of the ‘golden ratio’ of the upper eyelid.

The main task of minimizing gummy smile is to create the new shape of upper lip’s inferior border and harmonious proportions of the lips, teeth and cheek borders.

Introduction: A-frame deformity may be a variant of the anatomical structure of the orbit, or the feature of aging, or the result of aggressive blepharoplasty.

Gummy smile occurs in 10% of the population and is a frequent reason for visiting a cosmetologist.

Materials / method: Subcutaneous injection level is safe, the amount of product is 0,1-0,15ml of the HA.
Hyaluronic acid requirements are: spreadability, mouldability, small microsphere size, low water uptake and gell swell, optimal lift capacity.
Cannula technic preferred.

For correction of gummy smile, it is advisable to use four basic variants of the combination of hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin. Correction algorithms are presented.

Results: This correction of A-frame deformity is both anti-aging and harmonizing.

Gummy smile correction results depend on anatomical features, lip length; functional activity of the perioral area and the middle third of the face; the type of smile.

Conclusion: Minimal injection dosage provides a significant aesthetic result.

Objectives: A synergy and antagonism of facial muscles follow physical laws, if we consider them as a simple mechanical interaction. However, we can’t ignore the most important emotional aspect of human mimic. Any compensatory reactions from facial muscles after our therapy should improve patients' positive mimic patterns and exclude negative ones. We can manage this process with botulinum toxin type A.

Introduction: The compensation from the nervous system is characterized with the similarity of the formation of functional responses, despite the peculiarities of innervation of mimic muscles. These compensations disappear after a full restoration. However, if the damage repeats, these compensations can transform from temporary to long-term and even permanent ones. So it is highly undesirable to form negative mimic patterns for patient. In this regard, it is necessary to predict not only immediate effects of our a botulinum toxin therapy, but also their long-term consequences.

Materials / method: A review and analysis of many own clinical cases were conducted during a long practice. An analysis of muscles groups was conducted while certain mimic tests. Target kinematic chains were researched for every individual patient’s mimic patterns in terms of the emotional component of patient’s mimic. Target and additional muscles were being chosen while every procedure in order to create a positive patient’s mimic image with the help of botulinum toxin type A.

Results: An individual choice of the target injection points and botulinum toxin type A doses in terms of the emotional component of a patient’s mimic let us get more satisfactory long-term results.

Conclusion: The emotional aspect of mimic is important as it defines voluntary and involuntary mimic response. We have to understand clearly that we not only treat wrinkles but create an attractive image to improve patients’ emotional condition and social communication. Any compensatory reactions from facial muscles after our therapy should develop patients’ positive mimic patterns and exclude negative ones. Conducting botulinum toxin therapy on depressor muscles more intensively and on levator muscles more carefully we can manage this process successfully.

Objectives: The aim of this presentation to provide the audience with the relevant anatomy of the orbit and step by step approach for retrobulbar injection of the hyaluronidase.

Introduction: Soft tissue augmentation with the hyaluronic acid fillers has become a very popular and accessible tool in facial rejuvenation. Thorough knowledge of anatomy and filler characteristics has the utmost importance in providing safe implantation of the drug. Nevertheless necrosis due to impending vascular flow is rare, but dreaded complication after filler injection. It's long been known that hyaluronidase is effective and essential for restoring the flow inside the vessel.
One of the most, if not the most feared complication is the irreversible blindness due to vascular compromise of the retinal

Materials / method: In the field of ophthalmology retrobulbar injection is used routinely for ocular akynesia and anesthesia for intraocular surgery as well as for drug delivery with therapeutic purposes. We are providing step-by-step approach for retrobulbar space injection from the prospective of ophthalmologist and oculoplastic surgeon.

Conclusion: This basic knowledge can be sight saving for our patients if delivered on time and is a useful tool for the doctors practicing in the field related to hyaluronic acid fillers.
