Dr. Maas
Dr. Maas has extensive experience in clinical and basic science research and has been recognized widely for his achievements. While in medical school at University of Florida, he received Graduate Honors and as a fellow at the University of California, San Francisco, he was granted the prestigious Sir Harold Delf Gilles Award by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, both given in recognition of his groundbreaking research.
In his 11 + years at UCSF and as Chief of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Dr. Maas' research focused primarily on materials and implants for soft tissue augmentation and neurotoxins used for facial aesthetic applications. He has authored over 20 published articles highlighting the findings of his research.
Dr. Maas has been a key consultant for many pharmaceutical and surgical device manufacturers and has brought his expertise to many stages of the product development cycle; from design of the product, to design and implementation of the clinical trials, to representation at critical FDA meetings. For manufacturers attempting to expand the applications of products already in clinical use, Dr. Maas has written 510k applications that have led to additional FDA clearances.
Dr. Maas has participated in more than 15 FDA and non-FDA clinical trials. Currently emerging neurotoxins and soft tissue filler materials are in clinical trials at the Maas Clinic. Dr. Maas' reputation as an academician and a clinician has resulted in streamlining recruitment for clinical trials. As a result, hundreds of existing and potential patients have expressed interest in participating in current and future trials at the Maas Clinic.
The Maas Clinic is excited by the possibilities that arise from furthering knowledge and technology through continuous clinical research. Dr. Maas and his staff are dedicated to bringing these possibilities safely and beautifully to the forefront of aesthetic medicine.
