ISAPS Fellowship Series: Training the New Generation of Plastic Surgeons

ISAPS Fellowship Series! 

Step into the inspiring journeys of fellows who joined the ISAPS Fellowship Program this past year. We are excited to share their stories and hope their experiences inspire those considering this path.

Introducing Dr. Francesco Conte, who completed his fellowship in Marbella, Spain, guided by the renowned Dr. Kai Kaye.

 
   Francesco Conte (Düsseldorf, Germany)
   Fellow Host: Dr. Kai Kaye (Marbella, Spain)

"I had a very positive experience during my three-month fellowship at Ocean Clinic Marbella with Dr. Kai Kaye. From day one, I was warmly welcomed by Dr. Kaye and the entire team, who created a friendly and supportive environment. 

I had the opportunity to assist in the operating room four days a week and to observe a wide range of aesthetic plastic surgery procedures. Dr. Kaye was always available to answer questions and explain his decisions and indications, which helped me deepen my understanding of surgical planning and techniques.  

Beyond the operating room, I also took part in patient consultations, pre- and post-operative care, and non-surgical treatments in the clinic’s dermatology and aesthetic medicine unit. These experiences gave me a broader perspective on aesthetic patient care.

The entire staff was professional, kind, and helpful—both in the clinic and outside. They involved me in all activities and even helped me settle into Marbella.

Overall, I strongly recommend this fellowship. It was a valuable experience that contributed significantly to my professional growth." 

The ISAPS Fellowship offers an outstanding international training experience. We encourage our ISAPS Resident and Associate members to learn more, apply, and take advantage of this opportunity.
