Dr. Keith LaFerriere of St. John's LaFerriere & Kienstra Facial Plastic Surgery recently traveled to Iran to address the 12th International Congress of the Iranian Society of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery. The group of more than 300 Iranian head and neck surgeons attended LaFerriere's presentations on facelifting, forehead and brow lifting, blepharoplasty, and his personal philosophy of aging face rejuvenation. Other members of the faculty of highly skilled surgeons traveled from as far away as Ireland, Belgium, and the United Kingdom to lead the conference.
"The people of Iran were excellent hosts who made me feel very welcome," LaFerriere said. "I found the Iranian surgeons to be quite sophisticated in rhinoplasty techniques and eager to learn more about facelifting and eyelid procedures."
