Reaching the Peak of Aesthetic Surgery: Dr. Saltz and AED EndoPro® 3D at ABAM 2026

This February, the American-Brazilian Aesthetic Meeting 2026 took place in the snowy mountains of Park City, Utah. This international gathering of aesthetic surgery and medicine professionals brought together leaders from more than 20 countries, including Brazil, the United States, and beyond, for four days of scientific exchange, networking, and memorable community experiences. ABAM is a nonprofit educational meeting designed to foster global collaboration, expand clinical expertise, and inspire innovation in aesthetic surgery and related disciplines.

We were honored to join Dr. Renato Saltz for our first ever course at ABAM, where he delivered a live presentation on the AED EndoPro® 3D Visualization System. Dr. Saltz demonstrated how enhanced 3D visualization supports better depth perception, anatomical clarity, and procedural precision during facial rejuvenation techniques. His presentation illustrated how advanced imaging technology can elevate surgical confidence and communication within the operating room while helping surgeons achieve consistent and optimized outcomes.

Throughout the meeting, ABAM offered a comprehensive scientific program that included more than 100 expert presentations, hands-on cadaver workshops, practice management sessions, and live device demonstrations. Attendees had opportunities to engage with surgical and non-surgical aesthetic topics, participate in advanced injectables and anatomy workshops, and explore emerging technologies shaping the future of aesthetic practice.

Dr. Saltz’s session stood out as an example of the cutting-edge content that defines ABAM. By incorporating the AED EndoPro 3D system, he emphasized how enhanced visualization can enhance surgical accuracy, support real-time decision-making, and contribute to more refined patient outcomes. Participants responded with thoughtful discussion and engagement on the clinical implications of advanced endoscopic technology in aesthetic surgery.

The setting in Park City added a unique dimension to the meeting. Attendees enjoyed the majestic snow-covered slopes and mountain peaks that surround the Grand Summit Hotel, creating an atmosphere that blended professional development with the beauty of Utah’s winter landscape. Between scientific sessions, participants explored the slopes, donned cowboy hats for evening socials, and shared unforgettable moments at the meeting’s infamous casino night — all while strengthening connections within this global community of aesthetic specialists.

ABAM has long stood out not only for its educational value but also for its mission-driven approach. Profits from the meeting support the Image Reborn Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides no-cost healing retreats for breast cancer survivors. Through this partnership, ABAM reinvests in patient-centered healing while advancing the field of aesthetic surgery worldwide.
