The Aesthetic Society Year in Review 2023/2024

This year's cruise was our largest since 2007, with more than 150 cabins sold and over 320 attendees, including spouses, families, and guests. Among them were 120 registered plastic surgeons, including 15 current and past leaders of both the Society and Foundation. Our faculty featured 37 distinguished subject matter experts, eight of whom were first-time cruise speakers, and attendees represented ten different countries.

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.

I can’t believe we are already halfway into January, and I have been President of the Aesthetic Foundation for almost 9 months, the time has flown by.

Biostimulators and energy-based devices are increasingly used in combination to address visible signs of aging.

The recent Facial and Rhinoplasty Symposium was a tremendous success – and a great example of how The Society is evolving to meet the needs of our members and the demands of a fast-changing industry.
