The Importance of Our Cadaver Labs
Dr. Aaron Kosins
In this video, Dr. Aaron Kosins, a leading authority in facial aesthetics, highlights the value of cadaver labs at the 2026 Dallas Cosmetic Medicine & Rhinoplasty Meeting. He emphasizes that surgeons should avoid practicing new or refined techniques on live patients, making the cadaver lab an essential learning environment. The session offers attendees the chance to observe expert surgeons demonstrating each procedure, gaining key insights and tips to advance their own skills.
Participants can then apply what they’ve learned through hands-on practice with cadavers, ensuring a safe and realistic experience. Throughout this process, the same faculty who performed the demonstrations will circulate throughout the lab, providing feedback, guidance, and answers to individual questions.
Dr. Kosins notes that this approach is especially valuable for those aiming to refine bone cuts, septal resections, and the placement of septal extension grafts to enhance confidence, precision, and surgical outcomes for the next generation of rhinoplasty professionals.
