European Rhinoplasty Masterclass (ERM – EAFPS)
The European Rhinoplasty Masterclass (ERM – EAFPS) is a structured educational pathway in modern rhinoplasty designed for qualified surgeons seeking advanced surgical exposure, anatomy-based learning, clinical integration and formal European academic recognition.
Dr George Mireas is an approved ERM tutor and Director of an official ERM – EAFPS training center in Athens, offering exposure to primary and revision rhinoplasty, preservation and structural techniques, powered instrumentation and advanced grafting strategies.
Program Overview
The ERM – EAFPS is an advanced masterclass pathway in rhinoplasty intended for specialists who wish to complete a structured and demanding educational process under the auspices of the European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery.
The program is designed to move beyond isolated observership or short-course exposure. It combines hands-on cadaveric training, live surgical observation, clinical discussion, tutor-based case analysis and formal documentation of educational progress.
Training with Dr George Mireas in Athens takes place within an official ERM – EAFPS training center and focuses on contemporary rhinoplasty with strong emphasis on anatomy, planning, technique selection, grafting strategies and long-term surgical judgment.

How the Training Model Works
The ERM pathway is based on structured training with approved tutors, formal course participation, case documentation and progressive development of surgical understanding in rhinoplasty.
- Training with approved ERM – EAFPS tutors
- Cadaveric courses and academic sessions
- Live surgical exposure and clinical discussion
- Logbook and structured documentation
- Final examination according to ERM – EAFPS framework
Training Focus in Athens
Primary Rhinoplasty
Exposure to approximately 100 primary rhinoplasty cases annually within a structured surgical environment.
Revision Rhinoplasty
Around 50 secondary cases annually, including complex revision planning and graft-based reconstruction.
Technique Diversity
Open and closed approaches, preservation and structural rhinoplasty, as well as advanced grafting techniques.
Advanced Planning & Technology
Modern rhinoplasty training should reflect contemporary surgical practice. The Athens ERM center incorporates advanced planning tools and powered technologies rather than relying only on traditional approaches.
- Vectra M3 3D imaging simulation
- Ultrasonic piezo and powered burrs
- PRF derivatives in selected cases
- Rib cartilage grafting for major revisions
- Auricular cartilage grafting when indicated
Powered Rhinoplasty
Training includes powered instrumentation for precise bone work and modern osteotomy strategies.
Advanced Revision Cases
Selected complex revision cases include rib cartilage grafting and high-level reconstructive thinking.
Cartilage Grafting
Auricular cartilage grafting is part of the structural armamentarium demonstrated in appropriate cases.
