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.

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!⁠

In this study, 11 patients were injected with Volbella XC into the tear trough region and subsequently underwent undereye volumetric measurements over a 90-day period.

The dues support the 30+ ongoing studies that have been funded by The Foundation including studies such as “Cytotoxicity of Implant-Exposed Serum on Breast Cancer”, “Impact of Xeomin, Dysport, and Botox on Nerve Injuries”, “Effect of Intramuscular Fat Grafting on New Muscle Formation”, “Does TXA reduce Bruising After Hyaluronic Acid Filler Injection: A Prospective half face study”, “Increasing SMAS Durability via Photochemical Passivation for Facelifts”, and “Histologic Effects of Energy-Based Skin Tightening Treatments”.

Do you have an idea for a study but don’t where to start or how to finance it? The Aesthetic Foundation has awarded over $3 Million dollars to aesthetic surgery research since it was founded in 1993.
