As the President of the Canadian Aesthetic Society for Plastic Surgery (CSAPS), I have the
honour to represent a distinguished group of surgeons who dedicate a significant portion of
their professional practice to aesthetic plastic surgery and aesthetic treatments.

CSAPS was founded in 1971 to provide a collegial organization for some of the most respected
plastic surgeons in the field of aesthetic plastic surgery. Over 50 years later, CSAPS continues to
bring together experts in aesthetic plastic surgery throughout Canada and internationally, with
the collective purpose to innovate the field of aesthetic plastic surgery and to better patient’s
experience.

Gaining membership in the society is a significant and sought-after accomplishment for plastic
surgeons. As members, surgeons will benefit from the mentoring and knowledge sharing with
some of the most qualified aesthetic plastic surgery professionals practicing today. Our main
purpose is to augment the skills of every member, and we do so by encouraging peer learning
and by providing our members with information on the latest advances in aesthetic medicine.
Our members can proudly assure their patients that they are receiving the best experience for
unrivalled results.

During our annual general meeting, the sharing of knowledge will continue to be the focal
point. Local and international experts will. be invited to share their knowledge. In addition, our
industry partners will be provided the opportunity to showcase their latest products and
services in an environment that encourages candid discussions, promotes innovation, and
nurtures professional relationships. The 2023 CSAPS 50th Annual Meeting will be held October
26th to October 29th in Vancouver, BC. We hope to see you there!

Charles Guertin, MD FRCSC
President, Canadian Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
