Message from Congress President
Meet the world-renowned faculty shaping facial surgery. This year’s roster brings pioneering surgeons from the UK, USA and beyond— starting with our Congress President and visionary host.
"I’m massively passionate about bringing the world’s best talent to the UK for facial surgery."
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
It is with immense pride that I invite you to join us for the UK Face Congress 2026, taking place from 6th–8th August 2026 at the historic Leeds Private Hospital, set against the beautiful Yorkshire countryside.
For the first time in the United Kingdom, delegates will have the rare opportunity to witness live facelift and rhinoplasty surgery performed by world-renowned masters: Dr Mike Nayak (USA), Dr Norman Waterhouse (UK), Dr Ramtin Kassir (USA), Dr Lessandro Martins (Brazil), Dr Marc Mani (USA), and Dr Jamil Asaria (Canada). With our purpose-built, world-class conference facilities located just steps from the operating theatre, delegates will experience an unprecedented theatre-to-auditorium connection—delivering authenticity, safety, and immediacy that no hotel-based congress can match.
Beyond this landmark surgical experience, the Congress will feature:
- One integrated surgical programme for facial plastic surgeons.
- Cutting-edge debates on how non-surgical modalities—Sculptra, hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse, Morpheus8, and radiofrequency devices—are reshaping surgical planning and outcomes.
- A vibrant Innovation Stage, evidence-based product showcases, and a premier exhibition experience.
- Networking with a distinguished international faculty, within a governance framework aligned to the Royal College of Surgeons of England and CQC standards.
Our vision is to establish the UK Face Congress as the global benchmark for excellence in facial surgery education—rooted in governance, enriched by world-class teaching, and dedicated to elevating standards of surgical care and education.
I warmly welcome you to Leeds for this unparalleled educational experience. Together, let us set new standards for safety, innovation, and collaboration in facial surgery.
With kind regards,
Dr Fas Arshad FRCS (ORL-HNS)
President, UK Face Congress 2026
