Celebrating International Connection, Knowledge Sharing, Contribution, Achievements, and Leadership at ISAPS

Thank you to everyone who contributed to another busy, engaging, and educational year!

We continue to grow and lead as the world’s leader in aesthetics, with a mission to inspire and nurture Aesthetic Education Worldwide® for the safety of patients. We now have over 6,300 plastic surgeons in 117 countries in the #ISAPSFamily. We also remain committed to the next generation of surgeons and have offered free membership to 1,746 residents.

At our ISAPS Olympiad World Congress in Singapore, we welcomed more than 1,400 attendees from 90 countries, hosted over 125 scientific sessions, and featured 575 speakers. As a result, 98% of delegates would recommend the congress to their colleagues.

As part of our ongoing educational initiatives, we organized multiple Resident Webinars, Journal Clubs, and Instagram Live sessions. These online events engaged over 11,000 participants. Additionally, the ISAPS Video Library now contains nearly 2,700 videos.

Also, this year, the Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Journal (APS) achieved its highest impact factor to date, 2.8, officially classifying it as a Q1 journal and ranking it among the most prestigious scientific journals in plastic surgery. With increasing readership, 1.2 million downloads in 2024, and a turnaround from submission to first decision of 21 days, the APS Journal is a leading scientific journal in plastic surgery. 

As we round out the year, we want to thank all of our members, our 92 National Secretaries and 44 Assistant National Secretaries, 99 Global Alliance Partners, 162 volunteers on Committees, sub-Committees, and Ad Hoc Committees and Focus groups, faculty, global sponsors, and colleagues who have helped make the year successful and memorable. 

Please join us in reminiscing about the highlights of 2025!
