Update Moments Doctor Nguyen Giap At The Workshop AFAS 2026

AFAS 2026 is an international academic forum on plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine.

AFAS is an abbreviation of Asia Forum for Aesthetic Surgery and Medicine, the forum was initiated by the Korean Academy of Aesthetic Surgery – KAAS. Since formation, AFAS has become a scholarly space where doctors, researchers and experts aesthetic in the region to exchange knowledge, experience, treatment, and update the recent advances in the field of aesthetic medicine.

Other than these events bring the big trend merely the academic forum as AFAS often focus on the core issues of specialization: safety standards, principles, anatomy, management, complications, personalization, indications and optimal treatment results on the foundation of medicine.

With Dr. Nguyen Giap, the attend AFAS 2026 it was not just an international business trip, but also an opportunity to continue dialogue with the regional professional community, listen to diverse perspectives, and review clinical experiences through a broader academic lens.

Dr. Nguyen Giap participated in a presentation and discussion on safe abdominoplasty.

Within the framework of this year's forum, Dr. Nguyen Giap had the honor of participating in a presentation and discussion with international colleagues on clinical experience in abdominoplasty. This is a group of interventions that requires surgeons to carefully assess the abdominal wall structure, the degree of excess skin, the condition of subcutaneous fat, the looseness of the fascia and muscles, and the overall health of each patient.

Abdominal contouring is not simply about removing excess skin and fat tissue. Essentially, it's an intervention directly related to the anatomical structure of the abdominal wall, including the skin, subcutaneous tissue, superficial fascia, abdominal wall muscles, vascular system supplying the tissue, and the umbilical region. Therefore, every decision during the surgery must be considered in relation to aesthetics, function, and safety.

In part, his share ofDoctor Nguyen Giap focus on the problem have practical value high:

• Appreciating the level of laxity of the skin, adipose tissue and weight of previous abdominal surgery.
• Choice specify appropriate, to avoid excessive intervention when conditions or health does not allow.
• Principles dissection safety aims to preserve the system of blood vessels that feed the tissue.
• Control risks in surgery, especially in cases of weak abdominal or history of birth many times.
• Optimal recovery process through postoperative care, follow-up observations and activity guides fit.

The content reflects a viewpoint consistency in the practice of cosmetic surgery: results need to be built on the foundation of the reviews right, only the right and surgical manipulation have control.

Abdominal wall reconstruction – a technique requiring a deep understanding of anatomy and individualized indications

In clinical practice, each abdominoplasty case has very different characteristics. Some people mainly have excess skin after weight loss, some have accumulated fat tissue in the lower abdomen, some have muscle laxity after childbirth, and some cases combine multiple factors. Therefore, it is impossible to apply the same surgical formula to all patients.

A plan forming tummy safe, usually starting from the visits. The doctor should assess skin elasticity, location, and degree of excess skin, the thickness of adipose tissue, the quality of the abdomen status, the navel, scar, if any, as well as elements of the whole body, such as weight, underlying disease, history of surgery and the ability to recover.

From a professional perspective, the key is not to "do as much as possible," but to determine the safe limits of intervention. In some cases, liposuction combined with abdominoplasty may be considered. However, this combination needs to be based on an assessment of the tissue's blood supply, the degree of dissection, and the individual's recovery ability. If the only goal is rapid body shape change, the risk of tissue damage, fluid accumulation, slow healing, or unsightly scarring may increase.

This is also the reason the Doctor Nguyen Giap always emphasizes the role of thinking personalization in cosmetic surgery. A specified good not only help improve your body image, but also help protect our customers from unnecessary interference or exceed the ability to endure the biology of the body.

Safety is the foundation before discussing aesthetic effectiveness.

In modern cosmetic surgery, effectiveness should not be simply understood as changing external appearance. A valuable result needs to simultaneously meet many factors: improving aesthetics, preserving function, minimizing risks, ensuring reasonable recovery, and being suitable for each client's individual characteristics.

With shaping the abdominal wall, the safety factor should be placed on top because the abdomen has an dissection of relativity, related to the vascular system, soft tissue and pressure of the abdomen. If a review is not full enough or manipulation, lack of control, the person may face problems such as seroma, hematoma, infection, necrosis of the skin edges, scars, bad or recovery process lasts.

Therefore, in this report at AFAS 2026, Doctor Nguyen Giap has shared those drawn from clinical practice revolves around three axes important:

• Evaluation before surgery: properly identifying the status of the abdomen, risk factors, and realistic expectations of customers.
• Control in surgery: choose the dissection, level of intervention and treatment models based on the principle of safety.
• Postoperative follow-up: care instructions, advocacy, re-examination and early detection of signs of irregularities.

This is the approach system, surgery doesn't just stop at digital form, which becomes a process of treatment to be administered by the anatomical knowledge, clinical experience and medical liability.

The Value of Academic Exchange with International Experts

One of the greatest values of the international conference as AFAS lies in the ability to connect professional. When the doctor from many countries together to share experiences, each technique no longer be perceived from a single, which is screening through many reference system: characteristics, anthropometric, trend, aesthetics, safety standards, methods of recovery and complications.

With dr. Nguyen Giap, the participants reported and discussed at AFAS 2026 is the occasion to look back on the experience have accumulated during practice, at the same time more receptive to the new perspective from colleagues internationally. The exchange has special meaning in the field of cosmetic surgery, where knowledge is constantly evolving and safety standards is increasingly high.

Each marker were found to have a clear direction: constantly updated, constantly testing and not separate professional from liability to be treated.

In broader perspective, a physician aesthetic maintain connection with the academic forum international not only beneficial for individual physicians, but also contribute to improving the quality of advice, indications and treatment for clients in Vietnam.

Professional mindset based on international standards and responsibility towards patients

Cosmetic surgery is the field located between medical science and the need for improved form. So, the doctor need not only skilled, but also need the ability to assess the true wishes of the customer analysis, limited to the biology of the body and give recommendations accordingly.

With dr. Nguyen Giap, the international standard lies not only in the update of new techniques, but also lies in how constructive thinking career: caution in specifying transparency in consulting, respect the differences of each body and always put safety factor up front expectations change.

This spirit was expressed in the article about thinking craft based on international standards of dr. Tran Nguyen Giap. When a doctor chooses developed under the direction of academic, which not only helps to enhance personal expertise, but also contribute to creating an environment of aesthetic healthier, where people learn the surgery is approached the right information and are protected before the decision in a hurry.

Besides professional activities, the contributions in education and support the younger generation, medical, as the scholarship program at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy, also shows the direction of travel long-term: building value career not only technical, but also by knowledge, morality, and continuation.
