Australasian Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery (AAFPS)

The Australian Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery formed in 1990 and brought together a group of fully registered specialists who perform aesthetic and reconstructive procedures of the face, head and neck. The AAFPS was formed under the auspice of the American association who represent over 3,000 facial plastic surgeons worldwide. Their members that specialise in facial plastics have undertaken specialist training with a number studying for extended periods in the US. Many of their facial plastic surgeons sit exams with the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS), a governing body that accredit specialist practitioners globally, adhering to a high standard of distinction. As a group, they are committed to continual education, research and leadership for doctors and clients with an interest in the field of facial plastic surgery. They convene a conference every year, inviting prominent international speakers and exchange information, participate in interactive discussion and hands on workshops promoting ongoing excellence to advance their medical knowledge. They aim to deliver a comprehensive and professional service: to ensure their clients make informed decisions about surgical procedures and receive a first-class service, while providing a forum for their specialist members to share, promote and develop modern surgical techniques.
