Thank You for an Incredible AO CMF Lighthouse Course!

I am thrilled to have co-chaired the AO CMF Lighthouse Course on Surgical Approaches and Techniques in Facial Surgery alongside Fadi Zibdeh from Jordan.

A special thank you to our distinguished international faculty:

Alexander Schramm (Germany)

Stefano Fusetti (Italy)

Mohammed Nadershah (Saudi Arabia)

Mohamed Amin (Egypt)

Mostafa Hemeda (Egypt)

Susan Hassan (Egypt)

Amir Elbarbary (Egypt)

I would also like to extend my gratitude to the AO administration team—Nina, Karolina, and Marc—for their invaluable support in making this event a success.

It was inspiring to connect with participants from KSA, Turkey, Kuwait, UAE, Azerbaijan, Morocco, and Egypt. Your enthusiasm and engagement made this 2-day course a remarkable experience!

Participants had the opportunity to delve into state-of-the-art techniques, learning about surgical approaches to the upper, mid, and lower face and neck, while also getting hands-on experience with human anatomical specimens.

Thank you all for your commitment to advancing the field of facial surgery!

Together, we’re making a difference in patient outcomes!
