THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF COSMETIC SURGERY IS THE PROFESSIONAL
SOCIETY FOR PHYSICIANS FROM ALL SPECIALTIES LOOKING TO ADVANCE
THEIR SKILLS IN COSMETIC SURGERY.
With more than 15 MILLION people undergoing cosmetic surgery procedures in 2021, now, more than ever, cosmetic surgeons are seeking new and innovative products and services to ensure excellent and safe outcomes and grow their practices.
Established in 1985 and now serving more than 1,600 members, the Academy supports cosmetic surgery professionals with education and training opportunities to ensure consistently high quality patient care. From webinars to our Annual Scientific Meeting virtual experience, AACS provides year-round opportunities for physicians to come together and share the latest and best cosmetic surgery techniques, research, business strategies, technologies, and products. Through the philanthropic arm of AACS, the Cosmetic Surgery Foundation (CSF) awards scholarships and research grants with a focus on support from corporations, individual donors, and the Webster Society.
We invite companies to share our mission of promoting education, patient safety, and the understanding of cosmetic surgery by getting involved with AACS’s Corporate Support Program.
