In 2025, the AACS will be marking the occasion of its 41st Annual Scientific Meeting, the 41-year anniversary of the formation of the Academy and the Journal. This provides us the opportunity to reflect on the long and unparalleled history of the AACS, and a celebration of the principles with which it was founded. More than 500 cosmetic surgery professionals and supporters will gather for enlightening keynote presentations and ground-breaking didactic sessions on the latest techniques and procedures in cosmetic surgery.
