Dr. Roxanne Guy, ASPS President
Patient Safety Advocates

Choose A Member Surgeon
"One thing consumers can do is make sure that when they are considering plastic surgery, the doctor they choose is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. It's a basic qualification...It gives you more assurance than any other credential that this person is well-trained."
Martin Hatlie, Partnership for Patient Safety
The Family of Plastic Surgery
Plastic surgery requires the talent and assistance of many. We would like to thank the nurses, researchers, and countless other health professionals who help us change lives. While ASPS promotes excellence in all aspects of plastic surgery, many other organizations play a vital role in supporting our efforts.
We are proud to partner with leading subspecialty organizations that represent aesthetic and reconstruction surgeons.
