My theme for this year as President of The Aesthetic Foundation is “to make a difference”. The Foundation is in a unique position as the research, education, and charitable arm of The Aesthetic Society to achieve that goal.
In this update, Dr. Pfeifer recaps key highlights from The Aesthetic MEET in Austin, shares insights from attending APS Korea, issues an important cybersecurity warning for plastic surgeons, and previews the upcoming Aesthetic Interactive: Facial & Rhinoplasty Symposium in Boca Raton, Florida.
Dear Members,
It is with great honor and gratitude that I write my last report as your president. We started the year with the theme of "energy and team" and we have had exactly that!
