the 30th anniversary of the Korean Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (KSAPS) 2015

To all plastic surgeons, both members of the Korean Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (KSAPS) and guests from overseas, interested in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery 2015;

2015 is the 30^th anniversary of the Korean Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (KSAPS), founded in 1985. KSAPS has made remarkable progress during these past three decades, with great endeavors and advancements achieved by our honorable members. Korean aesthetic plastic surgery’s standards and levels have also risen, and it is my personal belief that our marvelous results have made us global leaders of the field.

Five years have passed since our Congress, which used to remain at the Korean domestic level, was recognized as an international meeting. It has been a short period of time, but we have used these past few years as an opportunity to proudly introduce the advances in Korea’s aesthetic plastic surgery to the world and generating impressive academic results.

This year, the Congress of the Korean Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery will take place at The – K Seoul Hotel, Seoul, under the title of “Aesthetic Plastic Surgery 2015” on March 28^th - 29^th in conjunction with the Korean Association of Plastic Surgeons, and the contribution of surgeons from many other nations including world famous speakers. The weather in spring is great in Korea, and I am sincerely happy to invite you to this academic meeting on Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Society members, and employees who made detailed preparations for the success of our Congress, and thank them for their voluntary work and hard efforts.

As President of the Society, I once again hope that your efforts and their results will bring you satisfaction, and look forward to welcoming all of you at the Congress.

Thank you very much.
