The Aesthetic Foundation has created a monthly Foundation Update email, along with a #FoundationFriday social media campaign. These communications will serve to keep our membership informed as to what their dues and donations are currently supporting. A recap of The Aesthetic Meeting 2024 fund raising activities was sent in June, and our next exclusive Foundation email was sent on Friday, July 26. Please make sure to scroll, stay subscribed, and learn all there is to know about our current fundraising; patient assistance; and Resident, Fellow, and medical student education opportunities.
For the second year in a row, we have collaborated with the California Society of Plastic Surgeons to provide a joint research grant application opportunity of up to $20,000. Surgeons in California, apply by September 1 to be considered as the 2024 recipient of this research opportunity from both your local society and The Aesthetic Foundation.

Better understanding these differences can aid in setting postoperative expectations.
