International Society of Craniofacial Surgery (ISCFS)

The International Society of Craniofacial Surgery (ISCFS) was founded in June of 1983 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada as the Craniofacial Chapter of the International Confederation for Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (IPRAS). The eighteen founding members represented the leading plastic surgeons in the world with an interest in and focus on craniofacial surgery. Initially named the International Society of Craniomaxillofacial Surgery, the organization renamed itself as the International Society of Craniofacial Surgery thus more accurately reflecting the work of the membership and to acknowledge the divergence of the fields.

The goals of ISCFS are to:
• Furnish leadership and foster advances in craniofacial surgery.
• Provide a forum for exchange of knowledge pertaining to the practice.
• Stimulate research, investigation, and teaching methods for preventing and correcting congenital and acquired craniofacial deformities.
• Enhance the study and practice of craniofacial surgery.
• Afford recognition to those who have contributed to craniofacial surgery by extending to them membership in the ISCFS.
