The award will be presented to Dr. Patronella at the annual meeting of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in May 2009 in Las Vegas.
This extensive study explored important patient safety issues in aesthetic surgery, including how to reduce the risk of blood clots during or after long operations. This study was also presented by Dr. Patronella in November 2008 at the annual meeting of The American Society of Plastic Surgeons in Chicago.
The acceptance of this award is very gratifying, yet a poignant reminder of the persistence and dedication of our dear friend and colleague, Dr. Amado Ruiz-Razura, who passed away April 6, 2008. His diligent pursuit of learning was surpassed only by his passion for sharing innovative ideas in the advancement of aesthetic surgery.
As the largest private plastic surgery practice in the state of Texas, The Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery continues to be a leader in advancing the art and science of aesthetic surgery.
