Welcome Message
Dear colleagues and friends,
It is our greatest pleasure to announce that the 4th Congress of the World Association for
Plastic Surgeons of Chinese Descent will be held on 6 - 8 November 2014 at the Hong
Kong Academy of Medicine Jockey Club Building in Hong Kong.
The WAPSCD, as its name suggests, is an association of plastic surgeons of Chinese
descent. The first and second congresses held in Beijing and Taipei respectively in
2008 and 2010 have attracted delegates from all 5 continents and have been excellent
meetings in terms of both organization and academic standing.
Following the similarly successful third congress held in Xi’an in October 2012, we
feel obliged to do our best to continue the fine tradition when it comes to Hong Kong
in 2014. The meeting will provide a platform for bringing together experts in plastic
surgery to Hong Kong to share their professional ideas and experience and to explore
new frontiers in this specialty.
On behalf of the local organizing committee, we would like to invite you to join us in
this vibrant city and the meeting. Please mark it down onto your diary now!
Looking forward to seeing you in Hong Kong!

Introduction:
Although plastic surgery remains the gold standard for skin laxity and lipodystrophy, the demand for
non-invasive treatments is in constant growth.
Light-based energies carry inherent risks for darker Fitzpatrick skin types including post-inflammatory
hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation.
Radio frequency (RF) has been sought out as the standard in care for body contouring which eliminates
the colour barrier making this a safe and effective treatment for all skin types, and let energy passes
into a deeper tissue to stimulate lipase activity.
The content of the lecture and live demonstration will be on practical approach and focus on skill.

Introduction:
Fractional ablatives is one of the foremost leading technology to reduce the appearance of scaring on
patients, regardless of whether they are surgical scars, acne scars or traumatic scars. With the latest
Fractional CO2 laser technology, it has opened a new page to cosmetic scar improvement with laser
penetration reach up to 4mm for scar revision.
In order to best demonstrate the mastery of this technique, Professor Tan Jun, one of the leading global
plastic surgeons specializing in burn and traumatic scars, is invited to give lecture and demonstration.
As a pioneer to propose ‘skin regeneration’ opposed to traditional scar tissue remodeling, he has
devised techniques to penetrate under burn scars of up to 10mm.
This workshop will also highlight the gold standard on skin resurfacing, which shows significant
results with one single treatment, drastically shortening downtime and reducing chances of post
inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Live demonstration will be arranged.
