The Aesthetic Society Presidential Update Vol 8

This is my last newsletter as President of The Aesthetic Foundation, and it has been a busy and productive year. Our core mission is to support research that is relevant to practicing plastic surgeons and improve the safety and effectiveness of the procedures that we offer to our patients.

It is just about two months from The Aesthetic MEET, and we have no lack of education, networking, and fun for you to take part in while you are in Boston. There are many opportunities to engage with and support The Aesthetic Foundation during The MEET, and I look forward to connecting and sharing all that has been accomplished with you.

I can’t believe we are already halfway into January, and I have been President of the Aesthetic Foundation for almost 9 months, the time has flown by.

In this month’s update, Dr. Tracy Pfeifer highlights all our webinars, like Master Class and AlliedPro Forum, all the travels from New York to Florida, recapping the Facial and Rhinoplasty Symposium and the upcoming The MEET 2026 in Boston!

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”.
