What is ESAPS ?

ESAPS (European Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) is a prestigious organization at the forefront of aesthetic plastic surgery in Europe. Comprising top professionals and experts in the field, ESAPS is committed to promoting excellence, innovation, and patient safety in aesthetic procedures. Through education, research, and collaboration, ESAPS plays a vital role in advancing the standards and practices of aesthetic plastic surgery across Europe. Join us in our mission to enhance patient care and shape the future of aesthetic plastic surgery.

Our focus

The goal of serving aesthetic plastic surgeons has always been the philosophy of EASAPS: We are extending this goal to ESAPS and reaching out to all trained plastic surgeons in Europe.

One voice in Europe

We can speak on behalf of those countries that do not have a National Societies for aesthetic plastic surgeon and we join hands with all the National Societies to bring our speciality the opportunity to make the environment safer for our patients and accelerate the diffusion of important news.

Safety for patients

Cross border surgery and the fact that non specialized doctors and other figures are carrying out delicate procedures, has brought around the need to have tight regulation regarding the safety of our patients. ESAPS and EASAPS are developing guidelines and documents that will be useful for your daily practice.

A platform for young surgeons

We can speak on behalf of those countries that do not have a National Societies for aesthetic plastic surgeon and we join hands with all the National Societies to bring our speciality the opportunity to make the environment safer for our patients and accelerate the diffusion of important news.

A word from Birgit Stark

ESAPS President

Dear colleagues,

Dr. Carlos Parreira kindly handed the governing responsibilities of ESAPS/EASAPS over to me after approval by the general assembly in Lisbon 2022. To serve European aesthetic societies (EASAPS) as well as individual plastic surgeons (ESAPS) is a great honor but also a challenge. Together with past president Ivar van Heijningen, immediate past president Carlos Parreira and president elect Michel Rouif, we discussed and defined the future path for ESAPS/EASAPS some years ago and our thoughts are well documented in the “long term vision” document. The next years to come will therefore follow a logical and sequential pathway.

The next years to come will therefore follow a logical and sequential pathway. During my term 2022 -2024, I will humbly serve to promote our core values so well defined by dedicated and hardworking earlier leaders and individuals of our society. Together with my team, we will focus on creating value for individual members and societies by promoting Aesthetic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery as one united speciality. In my view, we should bridge the gap between academic reconstructive plastic surgery and aesthetic surgery for the benefit of patients. Understanding and mutual respect for both medical fields can help to improve patients’ outcomes by improved systematic and comprehensive education of young colleagues. It is therefore a pleasure to work on standards for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery training and present regular educational events in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Preparation of the scientific programme of the next biennial meeting in Gothenburg, April 24 has already been undertaken.

In addition, we offer the excellent “Patient Safety Handbook” edited by Dr. Jesús Benito Ruiz and his team and are preparing a database for relevant scientific publications. Updates on Public Hearings, CEN communications, Medical Device Regulations and interactions with media will be communicated in our newsletters and presidential retreats. Internally, we have much work to do to improve the ESAPS administrative structure and define an internal code of conduct with a background of clear governance definitions and structure. We are expecting interesting discussions and regular interactions with our industry partners with a common endpoint of promoting and improving patient safety.

My primary function will be to orchestrate all committees within a democratic environment and spirit to end up with a well performing symphony without dissonances. I value the input and contributions of all aesthetic plastic surgeons in Europe. ESAPS and EASAPS have no future without your valuable confidence in my intentions and aspirations and those of our fantastic colleagues in different committees serving our specialty of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
