Faculty Biographies
Patricia Ogilvie graduated in medicine at the University of Würzburg, Germany with an MD thesis in clinical biochemistry. After the residency in dermatology at universities in Germany and Switzerland, she became a postdoctoral research fellow of the German Research Foundation, and spent several years in the field of immunology and cell signalling at international research institutions. Her research projects in The Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB) in Bellinzona, Switzerland were supervised by the Nobel prize Laureate Renato Dulbecco). Dr Ogilvie is an international speaker and trainer for botulinum toxin and injectable fillers, a principal investigator in clinical trials, and a member of the National Guideline Conferences for Botulinum Toxin and Injectable Fillers. She shares her expertise in medical aesthetics at scientific advisory boards, and has also authored numerous scientific papers in the fields of biochemistry, immunology, clinical dermatology and aesthetic medicine. She is scientific consultant for international cosmetic companies and a media spokesperson for skin care and hair care producers. Dr. Ogilvie is member of the editorial board of several scientific journals. Dr Maxwell has been instrumental in the development and evolution of many of the principles, operative techniques, and medical devices which compose the current global practice of aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery. Serving as Clinical Professor of Plastic Surgery at both Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, and Loma Linda University in Southern California, his passion for innovation as well as education, has been influential in the developmental careers of his former plastic surgery residents , personal fellows, as well as his peers, for almost four decades. While a resident in plastic surgery at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, MD., Dr Maxwell, having completed a microsurgery fellowship with Dr Harry Buncke, performed and reported the world’s first Latissimus Dorsi free flap. Moving from microsurgery to breast surgery, and after pioneering techniques Latissimus and TRAM flaps, Dr Maxwell focused on implant-based breast reconstruction. He invented the first surface- altered tissue expander which enabled him (working with McGhan Medical/ Inamed / Allergan) to design/develop the first anatomical shaped expander and a “made to match” anatomical shaped silicone gel implant. Concomitantly he developed the clinical system for use of these devices, based on dimensions rather than volume, with the breast base width measurement as the keystone. He founded and chaired the Inamed/Allergan Academies focused on educating surgeons around the world.
