The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) is a professional society that represents plastic surgeons primarily in the United States and Canada, while also expanding internationally. ASPS was founded in 1931 and is composed predominantly of surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery or by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Representing more than 11,000 physician members worldwide, the society is recognized as a leading authority and information source on cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery. [1] ASPS publishes the plastic surgery journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and runs The Plastic Surgery Foundation (The PSF), which supports research through grants, awards and scholarships.
