AAFPRS Cadaver Rhinoplasty Training Course – San Diego 2019

Invited faculty participation in the AAFPRS cadaver rhinoplasty training course held in San Diego, California, during the 2019 AAFPRS Annual Meeting.

This page documents Dr George Mireas’ invited faculty participation in the cadaver lab “Rhinoplasty and Rib Harvest” held during the 2019 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS). The course was hosted in San Diego and connected international faculty teaching, cadaver-based surgical training and advanced rhinoplasty education within a major academic meeting of facial plastic surgery.

Meeting Overview

The AAFPRS Annual Meeting 2019 was held in San Diego, California, and included a dedicated cadaver lab in rhinoplasty and rib harvest as part of its advanced facial plastic surgery educational programme. This placed the rhinoplasty training within an international academic environment of high-level surgical exchange.

The cadaver course combined operative instruction, faculty supervision and practical anatomical teaching. Within this structure, Dr George Mireas was listed among the instructors of the cadaver lab, contributing to the faculty-led surgical training environment of the meeting.

For the academic architecture of this site, the page is especially important because it documents invited faculty participation in a United States facial plastic surgery training setting, complementing the Greek cadaver course archive with an international reference point of recognized academic activity.

Scientific Context

Cadaver training in rhinoplasty occupies a central role in advanced surgical education because it allows operative steps to be studied under realistic anatomical conditions while preserving the structured teaching environment of faculty-led discussion and demonstration.

The AAFPRS cadaver lab format is particularly important because it places rhinoplasty teaching inside a wider international meeting of facial plastic surgery, connecting procedural detail, faculty expertise and formal academic documentation within one recognizable educational structure.

Within the wider architecture of this site, the San Diego 2019 page strengthens the documentation of invited external teaching roles and adds international depth to the academic record created by the invited faculty pages in Greece.

Official Programme Record

The official 2019 AAFPRS Annual Meeting programme provides the strongest documentary layer for this page. It records the meeting identity, location, scientific framework and the cadaver lab in which Dr George Mireas participated as instructor.

For invited faculty pages, this documentary layer is essential because it complements the event photographs by showing formal inclusion within the host programme of a recognized international surgical society.

Together with the photographs from San Diego and UC San Diego School of Medicine, the programme strengthens the academic record of international cadaver teaching activity and improves the authority of the site’s broader rhinoplasty education section.

Programme evidence includes
  • official AAFPRS meeting identity
  • San Diego location and dates
  • cadaver lab title and time
  • faculty and instructors listing

How This Page Fits in the Site

This page belongs to the invited faculty branch of the cadaver course structure and should be read as part of a broader academic archive documenting external teaching invitations, participation in host institutions’ surgical programmes and contribution to rhinoplasty-focused cadaver education.

It connects directly with the site’s wider sections on cadaver courses, education, invited faculty rhinoplasty training and the broader professional page of Dr George Mireas.

By adding an AAFPRS and UC San Diego page to the invited faculty cluster, the site strengthens its international academic footprint and creates a more complete evidence-based record of external teaching roles across Greece and abroad.
