The 1st National Facial plastic surgery course is the first hands on cadaveric dissection course in the country where surgeons are being taught facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgery exclusively. Since there are no masters or training program for exclusive training in facial plastic surgery available in India at present, an initiative was taken by Dr Deepak V Haldipur, Senior Consultant in otolaryngology and Dr Vishwas K Vijayadev, Consultant facial plastic surgeon based in Bangalore to host this unique course in the city from Feb 28- Mar 2, 2013. Internationally acclaimed faculty Dr Ullas Raghavan from the United Kingdom is the chief instructional faculty for the course.

An Academy of Facial Plastic and reconstructive surgery –Indian chapter is being inaugurated on 1st March to impart further training to desirable surgeons in this new subspeciality. The main agenda of this academy will be a continued professional development of the facial plastic surgeons in India through an Educational body.
