The Aesthetic Foundation continues to support its flagship initiative of evaluating and funding research grants that contribute to our specialty. At the recent Interim Board Meeting of The Foundation, the Scientific Research Committee recommended two studies for funding which received Board approval: one dealing with energy-based skin tightening ("Histologic Effects of Energy-Based Skin Tightening Treatments" by Brendan Cronin, MD and Jason Roostaeian, MD), the other with breast implants and breast cancer ("Cytotoxicity of Implant-Exposed Serum on Breast Cancer" by Megan Fracol, MD). We look forward to sharing the results of this cutting-edge research with the membership, when completed. 

Please pay your $200 Aesthetic Foundation Dues as part of your upcoming Aesthetic Society dues statement. It is the best $200 investment that you can make in your specialty.

We need all Aesthetic Society members to support The Aesthetic Foundation! 



Sincerely,
 

Oni Garcia, Jr., MD
The Aesthetic Foundation President
