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.
Spring is just around the corner, and The Aesthetic Society is already experiencing renewed energy and new growth. I wanted to answer some questions about what’s next.
In this month’s update, Dr. Tracy Pfeifer highlights the importance of fellowships and residents, how AlliedPro can help evolve staff's education, The Aesthetic Cruise 2026 is almost sold out, and the upcoming Facial and Rhinoplasty Symposium!
Dr. Tracy Pfeifer highlights key developments for The Aesthetic Society, including the new impact factor for Aesthetic Surgery Journal, evolving needs across generations of surgeons, plans for The Aesthetic MEET 2026, upcoming participation at ISAPS in Singapore, and an important cybersecurity alert for members.
We did it!! 🎉
The Aesthetic Surgery Journal now holds the highest Impact Factor in plastic surgery 3.9! This catapults ASJ into first place in our specialty (both plastic and aesthetic surgery) for the first time!
