Multidisciplinary nature of facial plastic surgery at stake:
The multidisciplinary nature of the EAFPS is one of the most important foundations of your Academy. It is the position of the EAFPS that the complexity of the face and direct visibility of surgical procedures in the face deserve input from different specialties, each contributing cutting edge surgical skills, techniques, and expertise. A facelift, aesthetic eyelid and ear surgery, reconstruction of facial skin defects, surgery of the paralyzed face and reconstruction of the facial skeleton, for example, should not be restricted to one surgical specialty only.

The other outstanding gathering takes place in Europe in May. I am referring of course to the 7th IFFPSS Congress, Nose and Face World, in Rome, Italy, May 9-12, 2012. This very special event is co-sponsored by the AAFPRS with the IFFPSS and the European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery (EAFPS). Professor Pietro Palma, president of the EAFPS, is the president of this Congress. Under his superb organizational supervision—assisted by Abel- Jan Tasmen, MD, chair of the program committee—and the entire program committee itself, an outstanding faculty and an action-packed program have been developed. This event promises to offer extraordinary educational, social, and cultural exchanges on a global scale.

Dear Members, Dear Friends,
The Year seems to have flown by quickly, and once again, we find ourselves at the end of an exciting period of growth and development for the EAFPS. The continuing achievements of the EAPFS would not have been possible without the resourcefulness of the General Secretary Abel-Jan Tasman, the unerring accountancy of the Treasurer Antonio Sousa Vieira, the exceptionally poignant guidance from the Chairmen of the Standing Committees and the National Delegates who skillfully turn the essential wheels and cogs of our engine. I would like also to express my grateful thanks to our secretary Ms. Gabi Behncke for her special dedication to our Academy.

Let us thank you for your support and participation in the Academy in the last years. We trust that you experienced a valuable benefit from your EAFPS membership. Our Academy continues to grow and 124 new members were recruited in 2010 highlighting the appeal of the Academy for all surgeons dedicated to Facial Plastic Surgery in Europe and, increasingly, in countries outside Europe. The year 2011 will see a marked improvement in our website, more profound involvement in teaching and training on a European level and safeguarding the interests of Facial Plastic Surgeons from different specialties against any infringements. We go through challenging times in Europe and we are determined to expand our services accordingly.
