This is my last newsletter as President of The Aesthetic Foundation, and it has been a busy and productive year. Our core mission is to support research that is relevant to practicing plastic surgeons and improve the safety and effectiveness of the procedures that we offer to our patients.
In this month’s update, Dr. Tracy Pfeifer highlights all the doctors who volunteer to help surgeons reach their goals, being up to date on cybersecurity, and the upcoming The MEET 2026 in Boston!
