The Aesthetic Society Presidential Update Vol 4

In this month’s update, Dr. Tracy Pfeifer highlights the importance of fellowships and residents, how AlliedPro can help evolve staff's education, The Aesthetic Cruise 2026 is almost sold out, and the upcoming Facial and Rhinoplasty Symposium!

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”.

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.

I am more than pleased to present to you our 2025 Foundation Career Achievement Award honorees, Drs. Jack Fisher and G. Patrick Maxwell. I feel as though neither requires much introduction to our membership as their impact on our specialty is well known.

In this insightful episode of Symcast, Dr. Shashi Kusuma founder of Symplast and CEO Facundo Formica sits down with Dr. Kiya Movassaghi, the current president of The Aesthetic Society, to discuss the future of the aesthetic industry.
