The Aesthetic Society Presidential Update Vol 5

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.

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 has been a great pleasure to serve as your president for the past 7 months. The theme of my presidency is "energy and team," which has been a perfect recipe for accomplishing all the initiatives that I set forth for the year.

November is coming to an end and the Thanksgiving holiday is upon us. It's time to reflect and recognize all that we are thankful for in our lives.
