The signing of the Alliance Agreement between the German Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (DGPRÄC) and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) occurred during a festive evening at the 50th Annual Congress of the DGPRÄC on 27 September 2019 at the Atlantic Hotel Kempinski in Hamburg.

The agreement was signed by the newly elected President of DGPRÄC and ISAPS Member, Lukas Prantl, MD, PhD and ISAPS President Dirk Richter, MD.

Founded in 1968, the DGPRÄC officially represents more than 1900 German plastic surgeons internationally, and as such, is the largest association of plastic surgeons in Europe.  The society officially represents German Plastic Surgery in politics and science. Surgeons holding the German title “Specialist for Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery” or “Specialist for Plastic Surgery” are qualified for membership, while doctors in training may apply for “associate membership”. The Global Alliance of both societies offers many benefits to its members, hosting an annual congress and nearly 100 hands-on workshops free of charge to their associate members.

The Global Alliance of the DGPRÄC and the ISAPS leads to more opportunities for plastic surgeons and offers a wide range of opportunities to improve the skills as a plastic surgeon.
