AN UNFORGETTABLE ANATOMICAL EXPERIENCE
TWO DAYS. TWO DISTINCT EXPERIENCES. ONE DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF FACIAL ANATOMY.
February 20–21, 2027 | Seattle, Washington
Move from seeing anatomy in real time to exploring it firsthand.
Dissecting Aesthetics is an immersive two-day educational experience that connects facial anatomy with the clinical decisions aesthetic injectors make every day.
Led by world-renowned facial anatomist Professor Sebastian Cotofana, M.D., Ph.D., alongside expert aesthetic faculty, the experience progresses from live anatomical and clinical correlation on Day One to intimate, hands-on cadaver dissection on Day Two.
See the structures. Understand their clinical significance. Then explore them yourself.
WORLD-LEADING FACIAL ANATOMIST
Sebastian Cotofana, M.D., Ph.D., Ph.D.
Professor Sebastian Cotofana, M.D., Ph.D., is internationally recognized for his work in facial anatomy and aesthetic medicine.
His research and teaching connect anatomical science with the practical realities of injectable treatments, facial aging, tissue behavior, vascular anatomy, and clinical safety.
Throughout Dissecting Aesthetics Seattle, Professor Cotofana leads attendees beyond memorizing anatomical structures to understanding how anatomy behaves—and why it matters when treating the face.
IMMERSIVE LEARNING WITH RENOWNED FACULTY
Dissecting Aesthetics brings together anatomy and advanced aesthetic injection expertise in an environment intentionally designed for interaction.
Featured Faculty:
Dr. Gideon Kwok, DO
The Aesthetic Immersion Medical Director
Lori Robertson, MSN, FNP-C
The Aesthetic Immersion Clinical Director
Julie Bass Kaplan, FNP-BC
The Aesthetic Immersion Key Thought Leader
ONE EXPERIENCE. TWO WAYS TO LEARN.
Understanding facial anatomy is different when you can see it unfold in real time.
DAY ONE
Professor Cotofana guides attendees through an auditorium-style anatomy and injection masterclass where cadaver dissection, live patient injections, ultrasound, and clinical discussion come together in one educational experience.
DAY TWO
The experience becomes hands-on, in an intimate cadaver lab where attendees work directly with human body donors to inject, dissect, identify, and explore the anatomical structures and tissue planes discussed throughout the program.
Together, the two days create a progressive learning experience designed to connect what you see, what you inject, and what actually exists beneath the skin.
DAY ONE
OBSERVATION ONLY
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 20TH, 2027
ANATOMY & INJECTION MASTER CLASS
SEE ANATOMY AND INJECTION TECHNIQUE COME TOGETHER IN REAL TIME.
Day One is an immersive, observation-based experience designed to bridge advanced facial anatomy with everyday aesthetic practice.
Led by Professor Sebastian Cotofana, with master injectors Lori Robertson and Julie Bass Kaplan, this intimate auditorium-style masterclass combines live cadaver dissection with live patient injections, facial ultrasound, and real-time clinical correlation.
As anatomical structures are revealed layer by layer, faculty connect what you are seeing directly to injection technique, treatment planning, facial aging, product placement, vascular anatomy, and complication avoidance.
This isn't anatomy presented in isolation.
It's anatomy connected directly to the face you assess, treat, and inject.
