T
he Efrain Davalos Award
is named in honor of a
talented, Mexican otolaryngologist, who pioneered the
teaching of facial plastic surgery in
Latin America. Dr. Davalos organized and directed many facial
plastic surgery courses in Morelia,
where colleagues from Mexico and
all of Latin America attended to
learn the techniques from expert
international faculty. The courses
included live surgery and in depth
lectures, giving birth to the practice of the subspecialty among the
Latin American otolaryngologists.
The Efrain Davalos Award is
given every four years and was
established by J. Regan Thomas,
MD, a close friend of the Davalos
family and frequent lecturer at the
Morelia courses.
This year, the prestigious
award will be given to Joao
Maniglia, MD, of Brazil, during the
11th International Symposium in
New York City.
Dr. Maniglia graduated from
medical school at the University de
Sao Paolo in 1964. He fulfilled a
residency in general surgery at
Brasilia, Hospital Sao-Paolo and
earned his United States medical
license in 1965. He then completed
a general internship at Queen
Hospital, N.Y., and a general
surgery residency at Kings Hospital, Brooklyn, N.Y.
From 1969 to 1970, he was a
resident in otolaryngology at
Brooklyn Eye and Ear Hospital,

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE:
I
s it a meaningful thought to ponder or
just a catchy phrase for marketing the
50th year since we were founded? Well it
is indeed a catchy phrase—The Changing
Face of 50—but we all know it is much more
than that. It is the foundation for the future of
facial plastic surgery. Our practices must
change to compete, remain relevant and
persist in the present market.
As we approach our 50th anniversary, I
wonder is it a birthday or an anniversary?
Well it is both since they are synonymous;
however, most of us perceive them as being a little different. Each carries
their own connotation of maturity, experiences, challenges and relationships. With a birthday, we live as an individual making choices that, with
our altruistic nature, will likely be for the good of our community while
still being a reflection of our independence and self-reliance. With an
anniversary, I perceive it more as a committed relationship where decisions
are interdependent. Our Academy has done just that, turning 50 as an
independent organization that is having the 28th anniversary of a committed relationship with the American Board of Faial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS). Both groups have grown more respected, recognized, and acknowledged every year. Some of the growth took place as
independent organizations and some has taken place as a joint effort. This
occurred because of those leaders that pitched in and worked for the
interest of the whole not their self-interest, and a staff that believes in our
mission.
There are a great number of us that are well beyond the “big 5-0” that
the Academy is approaching. Some have reached and exceeded that age
with grace and maturity; others go kicking and screaming. Your Academy
is turning 50 with grace and maturity; and like a benevolent parent, is
dedicated to the well-being of its offspring. We have been quite prolific with
members in every state of the union and almost every inhabited continent
on the globe. I could not find a member in Antarctica as hard as I tried.
This did not occur because of reckless abandon and irresponsible behavior, but rather because of a calculated plan to educate and share the
knowledge that has made us the leader in facial plastic surgery.
This dissemination of information is one of our founding purposes. It
is an active process requiring the willingness of the experienced to share
their wisdom, the eagerness of our young members to learn, and the
imperative that we all stay current to compete. Because of our inclusiveness and eagerness to share information, we have been able to accomplish
and maintain our first stated purposes.
1) To promote the highest quality facial plastic surgery through education, dissemination of professional information, and the establishment of
professional standards.
As we age, there are certain inevitabilities: the greying of the hair or
the loss of most of it, the expanding of the waistline, the need for a little
magnification to read. These let us know that the process is taking place
and although there is little we can do to stop it, there is a great deal we can
do to control it. As the Academy has faced the inevitability of aging, it has
achieved its second purpose.
2) To achieve understanding and recognition of the specialty of facial
plastic surgery by the medical profession, hospitals, and other medical
care entities, legislative and regulatory bodies, and the public at large.
It is in this second purpose that the ABFPRS became so important and
integral. Without the development of a certifying examination, some of the
recognition that we deserved would not have been achieved. It is now 28

FACE program and Faces of
Honor; the development of evidence-based medicine programs;
and the Web portal for education
LEARN (Lifelong Education and
Research Network), which "provides members access to training
and information when they need
it." For all of these programs to be
successful, membership involvement is imperative. To see how you
can help and to have a complete
understanding of these programs,
visit the Academy Web site.
Our slogan for public education and marketing, Trust Your
Face to a Facial Plastic Surgeon,
could not have been more successful and continues to be relevant.
How often does a patient come into
your office and state that "I have
seen other surgeons for consultation but I wanted a specialist that
only works in the face"? For me, it
is at least several times a week.
This is a testament to the fourth
described purpose.
4) To serve as the public's
information source on facial plastic
surgery.
Our public relations firm, Kelz
Communications, has done a great
job with more exposure than I can
remember us ever having. The

years since the ABFPRS was
founded and 22 years since the
first certificate was given. The
relationship between the AAFPRS
and the ABFPRS has been an
unstoppable force for the recognition of facial plastic surgery. In
every state that our legitimacy has
been challenged, we have been able
to gain the recognition we deserve—not a small feat considering
the obstacles that have been placed
in our path.
The subsequent three purposes
of our Academy are somewhat
more subjective in our ability to
quantify how successful they have
been, but they are no less important.
3) To define facial plastic
surgery as a specialty that requires
intensive training and competence,
embodies high ethical standards,
holds artistic ideals, commits to
humanitarian service, and desires
to enhance the quality of human
life.
This purpose is manifested in
many areas, none more evident
than the Many Faces of Generosity
campaign. The donations that have
been made here are committed to
education and humanitarian
efforts; funding for the FACE TO

THE CHANGING FACE
11th International Symposium in
New York City will be an excellent
opportunity for even more. The
more attendance we have from our
members, the greater the exposure
for our specialty and us on this
international stage.
The last stated purpose is no
less important than the first four.
5) To assist members in the
practice of facial plastic and
reconstructive surgery, guiding
them in the delivery of high
quality, cost-effective medicine and
surgery.
The resources of the Academy
office, its leaders, and staff are
available to all members. This
includes advocacy in public policy
making. The Academy represents
the members when it comes to
truth in advertising and sustainable growth legislation and scope
of practice issues.
The purposes of our Academy
were laudable in 1964 and they
remain laudable today. They do
not mean that we cannot or should
not be willing to change or adapt
to meet new challenges as they
present themselves to us, as long
as any change we consider remains
within the principles that are the
founding purposes of the Academy.
To conclude, I will leave you
with the thoughts of much greater
minds than my own.
From Sir Winston Churchill,
"To improve is to change; to be
perfect is to change often."
From Henri Bergson the
French philosopher, "To exist is to
change, to change is to mature, to
mature is to go on creating oneself
endlessly."
We have continued to mature
and create ourselves endlessly. In
order to mature, there will occasionally be the need for change. If
that change is kept in the intention of our purpose, it will
strengthen the Academy.

incurred during AAFPRS trips.
This information has all been
assembled in a FACE TO FACE
project guide, which will soon be
accessible on the updated AAFPRS
Foundation Web site.
In addition, we have received
approval to begin the design and
development of a database to store
information for all three programs.
The purpose of capturing this
information is to be able to:
1) Automate the proposed
FACE TO FACE: International
trip/patient information forms.
2) Track critical information
provided to patients through the
FACE TO FACE: The National
Domestic Violence Project and the
FACES OF HONOR Program.
3) Offer physicians a repository of historical information to
better prepare for upcoming
international trips or to better
serve the domestic violence and
military individuals that apply for
assistance through the FACE TO
FACE programs.
4) Provide a Web-based interactive site for members to learn
more about the FACE TO FACE
programs, view upcoming trips
and other program needs, and
apply to participate.
5) Implement the capability to
analyze and report data necessary
to apply for grants and financial
support needed to sustain the
three programs.
6) Supply a venue for participants and potential participants
in the FACE TO FACE programs
to communicate and discuss how
to better serve patients.
Dr. Constantinides has agreed
to chair this sub-committee.

everal years ago, the
leadership of the Academy
outlined a vision that
included providing members with new and exciting opportunities to advance their professional
careers. Their insight resulted in the
Board of Directors approving a
capital campaign, The Many Faces
of Generosity; 229 members and 11
companies generously contributed
over $4.1 million.
Those contributions are now
being put to work. The Foundation
is excited to announce that efforts
to take the three FACE TO FACE
programs to the next level are
underway.
Last year, a committee, chaired
by Ted A. Cook, MD (AAFPRS past
president), was formed to help
realize the vision to provide physicians with the operational support
and leadership for focused trips
and to encourage them to participate in one or more of the FACE TO
FACE programs. This committee,
consisting of members John
Charles Finn, MD; Harrison C.
Putman, III, MD; Craig S.
Murakami, MD; John M. Hodges,
MD; Minas Constantinides, MD;
and William H. Truswell, MD, met
throughout the year to determine
how to achieve four objectives:
O Organize and provide processes
for the programs
O Build relationships with host
hospitals and physicians
O Coordinate activities to assist
doctors
O Improve public awareness of
programs through various outlets
To-date, the committee has
reviewed and updated the protocols
for the three FACE TO FACE
programs: FACE TO FACE: International, FACES OF HONOR, and
FACE TO FACE: The National
Domestic Violence Project. This
includes developing forms to
capture critical data surrounding
the FACE TO FACE: International
missions and outlining a process

S
ocial media is changing
how we do, see, and interpret everything; and this
cultural zeitgeist shows no
signs of letting up. If anything, the
current is getting stronger and new
channels seem to be gaining
momentum each day.
The American Academy of
Facial Plastic and Reconstructive
Surgery (AAFPRS) 2012 statistics
showed that social media channels
were driving patients to your offices
in droves because they didn't like
how they saw themselves on
Facebook, Instagram, and the like.
Expect this to continue as existing
social media entities continue to
grow in popularity and new ones
emerge. Social video sites may even
up the ante as more and more
patients will see themselves in
motion and in real time.
Social media is also changing
how doctors promote their practices, interact with peers, and
engage with patients. The AAFPRS
incorporates social media wherever
possible; members should take
advantage of these efforts. The
Academy is active on Facebook,
Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, and
Pinterest, and provides easy ways
for members like you to like, follow,
and share the fresh content.
Partnering with the Academy
will help expand your online
footprint, which will increase
exposure to both new patients and
media. This, in turn, will increase
your Klout score. Klout ranks your
digital influence by weighing such
variables as your number of followers, frequency of updates, how your
friends (like the Academy) rank,
and the number of likes, retweets,
and shares that your posts receive.
Connecting with the Academy
on social media also enhances your
practice's off-line credibility and
clout. Many physicians call themselves cosmetic surgeons, but are
not board certified. Let current and
future patients know that you are
an AAFPRS member, and post
information on what this means,

AND
GET SOCIAL
why it is important, and how they
should trust their face to a facial
plastic surgeon. The Academy
makes it easy to offer this type of
content and protect patient safety.
Our newest online venture,
Pinterest, allows users to find and
curate images and videos from
others and post them on virtual
corkboards. We invite you to find
inspiration in our pins and repin
them frequently.
Following the AAFPRS on all of
our social media channels will also
keep you on top of exciting Academy initiatives and developments,
such as our upcoming 50th anniversary in New York City. Personalizing our posts can help you
populate your own pages. Try to
post once or twice a day on all of
your social media channels.
We also encourage you to use
our hashtags and keep the conversation flowing.

Thank you to everyone who
participated in the annual
Trend Survey. Our rate of
response almost doubled from
previous years. Our statistics
help make our Academy more
relevant in the eyes of the
media and the other associations.
Here's a quick glance at the
2013 outcomes which will
officially be announced in the
April issue of Facial Plastic
Times:
O The 2013 survey generated a
notable rise in men's hair
transplantation.
O We earned traction from the
rising trends including more
women under 35 seeking out
surgery, more plastic surgery in
the colder months, and patients
of all ages turning to plastic
surgery to look better in selfies.

Facial Plastic Times 9
The Specialty of it All, Part 1
By Robert L. Simons, MD
This story begins in the early 1980s, a time when
otolaryngologists were divided in their support of subspecialization and/or further certification. Surgeons
interested in facial plastic surgery felt a growing need for
greater identification and recognition. The ensuing two
decades would be filled with difficult decisions and
courageous, albeit controversial, actions to help achieve
these goals. "The Specialty of it All" is an attempt to
remember those individuals and the events responsible for
today's unfurled banner of facial plastic surgery!
No one understood the value of a banner or name
better than Jack Anderson. As secretary of the American
Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
(AAFPRS) in its early years (1964-1969) and then as its
eighth president (1971-1972), Jack never failed to recognize the merit and worth in those three little words: facial
plastic surgery.
Dr. Anderson—when in 1980 he became the first
president of the American Academy of Otolaryngology
(AAO) in a contested election—stated, "I went into that
election because I believed it would enable me to further
the cause of facial plastic surgery in otolaryngology.
Specifically, my goal was to try and get support from the
establishment; many of the AAO members were as
vehemently opposed to us at that time as were the general
plastic surgeons.
My primary aim was to get the AAO's name changed
to the American Academy of Head and Neck Specialists,
because I considered the name ‘otolaryngology’ an albatross around our necks, and still do. I wasn't entirely
successful, but it was changed to the American Academy
of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) in
a compromise. It's an abomination, but you can't push
people too fast!"
To further promote and
popularize the transformation that was occurring
in otolaryngology, Dr.
Anderson explained why the
Academy needed a new
name in his article, "An Old
Medical Specialty Puts on a
New Face…and Head…and
Neck," published in August
1980 in the widely read
Southern Medical Journal.
Advising Dr. Anderson
on publication of his article
was Alfred K. Walters, a brilliant strategist who was both
the public relations consultant and the executive director
of the Pennsylvania Academy of Ophthalmology and
Otolaryngology in 1963, the year before the AAFPRS was
founded. Al Walters was enticed to help the incipient
organization shape its message by John T. Dickinson, MD,
then president of the American Otorhinologic Society for
Plastic Surgery, which merged with the American Society
10 Facial Plastic Times
of Facial Plastic Surgery in 1964 to become the AAFPRS. It
was Mr. Walters and Dr. Anderson who identified
the Southern Medical Journal because its circulation was only second to the Journal of the
American Medical Association (JAMA).
Also assisting with the publication was Dr.
Anderson's former fellow and now secretary of the
AAFPRS, E. Gaylon McCollough, MD. He encouraged
local placement of the message. A summary of the article
appeared in the Journal of the Medical Association of
Georgia in 1981, jointly bylined by Dr. Anderson and
William E. Silver, MD, a long time loyalist to the AAFPRS.
The article prompted a response ostensibly written by
two Georgia general plastic surgeons as a position statement for the Georgia Society of Plastic Surgeons, Inc. The
article was published in 1982 entitled, "Things Are Never
What They Seem, Skim Milk Masquerades as Cream."
Stated in the article was the fact that otolaryngologists
were untrained and threatened "surgical errors based on
incompetence." Part of the "skim milk" article, with an
identical headline, was taken verbatim from an article in
an April 1975 publication of the Pima County (Arizona)
Medical Society—seven years later and 2,000 miles apart.
Dr. McCollough saw this as evidence of a concerted
organized effort of discreditation. The printed words, plus
the refusal of the plastic surgeons to entertain any settlement based on a letter of apology, led to a difficult decision to sue medical colleagues. It was a close vote at the
AAFPRS Board of Directors meeting—decided by a
majority of one.
After years of depositions, the trial lasted two weeks in
Atlanta, Georgia, in December of 1986. Dr. Anderson; Dr.
McCollough; and Richard C. Webster, MD, a Boston
general plastic surgeon, testified as well as William
Beeson, MD, who had done a fellowship with Dr.
McCollough. Leading the prosecution team was a young
astute Atlanta attorney, Tom Rhodes.
Following extensive testimony regarding the general
plastic surgeons' history of disparagement, the jury
awarded Anderson 1.5 million dollars. In a later decision,
the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed that award, making
it one of the largest libel awards ever affirmed on appeal.
In early 1988, Dr. Anderson donated his portion of the
judgement to the Educational and Research Foundation of
Seen here is Dr. Anderson (left) with AAFPRS president
(1987-1988) John R. Hilger, MD.

the AAFPRS. Some money was set aside for the
annual Jack Anderson Lectureship. The majority
was directed to advance the examination in facial
plastic and reconstructive surgery—money
derived from general plastic surgery to promote
the subspecialty of facial plastic surgery. What
irony!
However, we are getting ahead of ourselves in this
story of, "The Specialty of it All." Back in 1982, the newly
formed AAO-HNS decided to establish the Academy Board
of Governors (BOG), comprised of representatives from all
states, regions, and otolaryngologic societies. The
purpose was to create better communication between the
"grassroots" and leadership.
The strength and appeal of otolaryngology for many
rested in its varied interests and opportunities for patient
care. The second oldest medical board established in 1924,
otolaryngology, offered societal participation in otology,
allergy, rhinology, laryngology, broncho-esophagology,
facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, head and neck
surgery, and pediatric otolaryngology. The largest of these
groups was the AAFRPS (approximately 3,000 members)
with the allergy organization second in numbers. Each
one of these groups had a representative to the BOG.
Wearing two hats as the designated governor from the
AAFPRS and one of several from the state of Florida, I
attended the first BOG meeting in New Orleans in 1982. It
was a wonderful opportunity to let others know of facial
plastic surgeons’ concerns regarding public disparagement, hospital privileges, and credentialing issues.
To his credit, the man most responsible for the
creation of the BOG, Loring W. Pratt,
MD (AAO-HNS president, 1982,
pictured here), in his opening remarks
to the group alluded to the subspecialty
need of two of the otolaryngologic
societies, namely allergy and facial
plastic surgery. For the allergists, Dr.
Pratt suggested equivalency and recognition would occur with increased
emphasis on training and education.
For facial plastic surgeons, he felt, because of the schism
created by the general plastic surgeons, resolution was far
away. He encouraged evidence of the conflict to be shared
with the BOG so that further action, not excluding a law
suit, might be entertained.
The BOG, representing the majority of
otolaryngologists, however, were not supportive of
certifying subspecialties. At the first meeting in 1982,
when I requested sub-certification endorsement for facial
plastic surgery, the motion was defeated 83-1. Persistent
resistance to the idea was reemphasized at the next
meeting in 1983, when a resolution introduced by the
governor from the New Jersey Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology requesting that the BOG go on
record as being emphatically opposed to sub-certification
MARCH 2014
by the ABO passed unanimously.
Aware of these background events, one can better
appreciate the communications that ensued between
AAFPRS president Howard W. Smith, MD, and his peer at
the AAO-HNS in 1983, president Charles W. Gross, MD
(pictured here). "Whether this [certification] is a complete board or a form
of special competency or sub-certification will depend on how the AAO-HNS
feels and how it acts during your term,"
wrote Dr. Smith to Dr. Gross. Dr. Smith
expressed his openness to close cooperation with the AAO-HNS, but also
announced the formation of an ad hoc
committee "to explore acquiring board
certification of our members in cosmetic facial plastic
surgery with or without the blessing of organized medicine."
In response, Dr. Gross noted that it was not the AAOHNS, but the American Board of Otolaryngology (ABO)
that issued certificates. "Be that as it may," said Dr. Gross,
"the AAO-HNS Board of Governors has looked at the area
of competency and sub-certification in detail and at its
meeting on April 11, 1983, unanimously passed a resolution opposed to sub-certification and requested the Board
of Directors of the AAO-HNS to adopt this position.
Consequently, as you can see, I am not sure that otolaryngology in general wishes certificates of special competency
or sub-certification." Dr. Gross further stated that he had
"much input" from members of the AAFPRS opposed to
sub-certification and questioned whether Dr. Smith's
representation of interest in sub-certification truly represented the majority of AAFPRS membership interests.
Dr. Gross' letter reflected the strong concern within
otolaryngology that subspecialty recognition of any sort
would fragment a small specialty (only 10,000
otolaryngologists among 600,000 physicians in the U.S.)
and disenfranchise the fully qualified general otolaryngologist from doing the work endorsed by subspecialty
certification. Potential increased liability for the nonsubspecialist was another concerning consideration.
By appealing to the AAO-HNS Board of Governors, the
AAFPRS had hoped to generate grassroots interest in and
support for subspecialty recognition, which in time might
compel the ABO to act favorably to support subspecialty
recognition in some form. Clearly, this did not happen!
Twenty years later, in August 2006, the ABO announced that it was authorized by the ABMS to issue
subspecialty certificates in neuro-otology, pediatric
otolaryngology, sleep medicine, and plastic surgery within
the head and neck. Regarding certification in plastic
surgery within the head and neck (a title specified but
unwanted), "It would not be pursued until there are a
sufficient number of ACGME-approved residencies in
facial plastic surgery." The ABO further concluded, "A
subspecialty certifying process should go forward only if
there is sufficient support from the subspecialty itself. So,
for this reason, the only active process at this time is
neuro-otology and sleep medicine."
Again, facial plastic surgery would have to control its
Facial Plastic Times 11
own destiny.

"coag," the resurfacing procedure is
customized for the patient's needs.
For the second patient, the
same ablative full field 2940 nm
Erbium:YAG laser is used to treat
skin laxity and rhytids of the entire
face. This is performed as part of a
comprehensive rejuvenation in the
operating room using general
anesthetic. The entire procedure
includes an endoscopic brow lift,
upper and lower blepharoplasty,
and facelift prior to the laser
procedure. The various subunits of
the face are treated in a customized
manner by adjusting the depth of
ablation and the "coag" of the laser.
For the third patient, Dr.
Campbell uses a fractionated
ablative 2940 nm Erbium:YAG
laser (ProFractional laser) to treat
acne scarring of the cheeks. This
laser vaporizes small tunnels in the
skin; and in this particular example, used coag-3 to add heat,
and therefore some necrosis to the
ablative injury. This increased the
amount of damage to the deep
dermis, thereby improving the
overall result. It was performed in
the medical spa setting using local
anesthetic.
The video concludes with a
combined deep plane facelift and
fat grafting with ablative and
fractional resurfacing of the face,
neck, and décolleté by J. Kevin
Duplechain, MD. Dr. Duplechain
demonstrates a complete facial
rejuvenation of a 58-year-old
female. Surgical procedures include
an endoscopic brow lift, upper and
lower lid blepharoplasty with lateral
retinaculum suspension, and a
deep plane facelift combined with
fat grafting and fully ablative and
fractional C02 resurfacing. Dr.
Duplechain discusses his technique of deep plane facelift including a high SMAS mobilization and
endoscopic release of the orbital
retinaculum. Facial fat grafting is
performed to the lips, cheek,
jawline, and several other areas.

missions, but commented that the
collaboration achieved will serve
the Honduran doctors well in the
future. He also facilitated the
logistics. Matthew Sherris was able
to assist the surgical teams in the
operating room and on the floors
during preoperative and postoperative care.
The mission was highly successful and cumulated in an
invitation to the Honduran doctors
to visit UB this past fall for a
continuing medical education
course focused on treating the
same types of nasal and sinus
disorders. Three Honduran doctors
were sponsored by UB department
of otolaryngology and joined Dr.
Sherris, Kofi Boahene, MD, from
Baltimore, and other international
faculty for the course, Rhinofest
2013, September 19-22, 2013.
They joined 75 doctors from
around the world in attending a
world-class lecture series that
included cadaver dissection. The
Honduran delegation enjoyed a
fantastic week of education in both
medicine and the sights of Western
New York. All parties involved look
forward to continuing this collaboration in the future.
If anyone has interest in
participating in future missions,
feel free to contact Dr. Sherris at

is presently planning a surgical

his past June 23 through
June 29, 2013, David A.
Sherris, MD, chairman of
the department of otolaryngology at the University at
Buffalo (UB), led a facial plastic
surgery mission to Tegucigalpa,
Honduras. The team consisted of
Matthew Kienstra, MD, of Springfield, Mo.; Bryan Ambro, MD, of
Baltimore; Christopher Perry, DO,
of Akron, Ohio; and Matthew
Sherris, Dr. Sherris' son. The
group worked with local physicians, resident doctors, and
medical students at Hospital
Escuela in the capital city. Howard
W. Smith, MD, had been to the
same hospital years before to work
with the department of plastic
surgery.
The surgical mission represented the first time surgeons in
otolaryngology, plastic surgery,
and neurosurgery collaborated at
the largest public teaching hospital
in Honduras. Honduran doctors
from all disciplines were needed to
treat complex facial deformities,
tumors, and reconstructive issues.
The group screened over 100
patients and performed 36 facial
plastic and reconstructive procedures over five days. The operations included facial fracture
repair, microtia reconstruction,
