Yet another course on aesthetic breast surgery took place this time in Stockholm on September 28-29. It was organzied within the Allergan Academy teaching programs which have become a leading worldwide educational process embracing such fields of medicine as corrective breast surgeries, in particular the correction of their shape by means of anatomically-shaped prostheses. This time Akademikliniken and its leader professor Per Hedena hosted a sparse group of eight highly qualified doctors specializing in breast surgeries. It is, however, fully understandable since the course alone was addressed to such doctors, hence its name – Masters. Jerzy Kolasiński, M.D. and Małgorzata Kolenda, M.D. from Kolasiński Clinic took part in the course as well. The first day of the course included theoretical aspects and a presentation of particular patients. On the following day the course participants spent all day in the operating theater observing prof. Hedena while he was performing a surgery. During the breaks between particular surgeries the doctors discussed extremelly difficult surgical cases and the host shared his rich experience in breast surgeries with the participants. The fact that Allergan Company does take care of the high level of professionalism among the members of the Academy should be really appreciated since it is due to such courses as the one organized in Stockholm that the quality of corrective breast surgeries increases not only in the world but also in Poland.
