SARC 2026 Sleep is built on the principle that nasal function, maxillofacial development, soft tissue tone, and facial balance are converging determinants of Breathing and Beauty.

Advancing sleep breathing care requires collaboration across sleep surgery, facial plastic surgery, otolaryngology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, functional dentistry, and emerging technologies.

The meeting mirrors clinical practice. Lectures cover functional and esthetic nasal surgery, upper airway stimulation, and the influence of orthognathic surgery on esthetic outcomes and airway physiology.

Parallel sessions explore how outpatient clinics integrate sleep breathing care, esthetic interventions, and behavioral therapy.

A forum pairing ENT surgeons and dentists across 5 countries demonstrates models of collaborative care.

Cadaver dissection reinforces the curriculum across functional rhinoplasty, maxillary expansion, hypoglossal nerve stimulation, and maxillomandibular advancement.
​
Breathing and beauty have long been treated as separate domains. SARC 2026 Sleep treats them as one.
