How to Solve Facial Ageing Problems

As the President of the Australasian Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery, I have the pleasure of interfacing with some of my profession’s most experienced and innovative facial plastic surgeons. Our collective goal as AAFPS members is to focus on surgery of the face, head, and neck, setting high professional and ethical standards for our peers and ourselves.

In addition to our work supporting our members’ professional goals, the AAFPRS (American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons) also looks after the interest of consumers. They provide free information and a list of qualified facial plastic surgeons in the USAon the AAFPRS website.
