2013
ANNUAL
REPORT
Our mission is to advance the quality of care delivered to plastic surgery patients
by encouraging the highest standards of training, ethics, physician practice
management, and research in plastic surgery.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) is the largest plastic surgery
specialty organization in the world. Founded in 1931, the Society is composed
of more than 7,000 physician members and represents more than 94 percent
of all board-certified plastic surgeons in the United States who perform cosmetic
and reconstructive surgery.
PlasticSurgery.org
Founded in 1948, The Plastic Surgery Foundation (The PSF) works on behalf of
the specialty to guide future innovation and organizational collaboration. Our goal is
to guide the latest breakthroughs in plastic surgery research and develop guidelines
for plastic surgeons in order to promote the highest clinical outcomes and patient
safety. The PSF is a world leader in research, championing initiatives that have
a significant impact on clinical practice. We also work to educate and cultivate
the pipeline of surgeon scientists to assure that ASPS members will spearhead
research and medical innovation now and for years to come.

2013 HIGHLIGHTS
ASPS made significant progress in leveraging the Plastic Surgery Education Campaign
funds by deploying new tactics to promote public awareness efforts that include ASPS
messaging on board certification and patient safety.
•The PSF is in a more prominent position on the national fundraising stage, increasing
our ability to support charitable care, research, and public awareness outside of
individual member contributions
• Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery launched the first in a series of PRS Clinical
Masters which helped the publication reach an additional five percent increase
in advertising revenue
• In 2013, ASPS made great strides in the development of Plastic Surgery Practice
Solutions (formerly Plastic Surgery Business Solutions). We entered into a strategic
alliance with Strathspey Crown, a physician-owned private equity firm that is set to
launch a suite of practice management and practice marketing tools
2013 Consumer Plastic Surgery Snapshot since 2012
•15.1 million cosmetic surgery procedures, including both minimally-invasive and surgical,
were performed in the United States in 2013—up three percent
•In addition, 5.7 million reconstructive surgery procedures, which improve function
and appearance to abnormal structures, were performed—up two percent
•Silicone implants were used in 72 percent of all breast augmentations while saline
implants were used in 28 percent
•Nearly 10,000 buttock augmentations with fat grafting were performed—an increase
of 16 percent
•Neck lifts are becoming increasingly popular, with more than 55,000 procedures
performed—up six percent

FRESH IDEAS ALREADY PAYING OFF
It’s been a very successful year at the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and
The Plastic Surgery Foundation. As you will see throughout this report, we have continued
to develop innovative ways to represent our members and to fight to protect the specialty.
By far, the largest single concern of ASPS members, especially those of you in private
practice, is the increasing encroachment on the specialty by non-plastic surgeons who see
the self-pay, aesthetic surgery marketplace as their salvation from declining reimbursement.
The leading edge of our battalion in this fight is the Plastic Surgery Education Campaign—
to which every ASPS member contributes—that provides approximately $2 million to
reinforce public awareness of the specialty and the ASPS Symbol of Excellence. We continue
to leverage these resources in creative ways, such as producing our own multimedia news
releases that tell real-life patient stories. These compelling and empathetic news stories
(whether talking about “botched” cosmetic surgery procedures or highlighting procedural
trends) are released to the media ready for broadcast by TV news stations across the country.
The most recent media coverage of ASPS statistics, highlighting an increase in upper arm
lift procedures, garnered an audience of more than 1 billion in its first month alone, with
an advertising value of $4 million for the ASPS brand and its members. One of our key
objectives for 2014 will be to develop new sources of funding to increase the national scale
of our public awareness campaigns.
We have also partnered with members to help fight for our causes in Washington and in
state capitals. This year, we supported legislation requiring truth and transparency
in advertising by non-physician providers. We also fought to repeal the flawed Medicare
physician payment formula (SGR) and worked against a 24 percent payment cut. We continue
to work closely with members of Congress as a permanent repeal proposal takes shape.
We are also aggressively developing tools for member practices. We currently offer
the ASPS Practice Marketing App, the Passionate Patient Education Brochures, the Informed
Consent Resource, eClinical Works electronic medical records software, and Access Medical
Purchasing, our group purchasing organization.
I would like to extend my gratitude to Gregory Evans, MD and Charles Verheyden MD, PhD,
and to the Executive Committee and Board of Directors for their continued support and
advice over the past year. I also wish to acknowledge the incredibly hard-working and
devoted staff at the headquarters office in Chicago and satellite office in Washington, DC
as well as the PRS office in Dallas.
I look forward to working with the membership and with all sub-specialty societies in
the coming year as we continue our combined efforts to strengthen our position on behalf
of our members.
Sincerely,
MICHAEL D. COSTELLOE, JD
Executive Vice President
American Society of Plastic Surgeons

DOING OUR BEST TO SERVE OUR SURGEONS
AND PATIENTS—2013 HIGHLIGHTS
It seems like it was yesterday that I stepped into the ASPS presidency with much
responsibility and the best interests of all ASPS members on my mind. It’s been
a challenging but exciting year, and we’ve accomplished a lot while steering
the organization in new directions to combat the ever-changing medical and
economic climates. No longer can an organization’s success stand on its dues-paying
members alone. Success will continue to demand new paradigms and our members
will continue to demand more benefits—and rightly so.
We are constructing these paradigms and are supplying these benefits by embracing
new opportunities now available to us. We have experienced double-digit international
membership growth—12 percent. ASPS is in the process of creating a Management
Services Organization to directly help our members in expanding their practices,
and earlier this year, PRS launched PRS Global Open, a new journal that provides
opportunities to publish high-quality articles and manuscripts in the rapidly growing
open access arena.
ASPS continues to be financially viable, which further allows us the opportunity to help
our state societies move to the forefront of local and national issues. We have helped
push legislation forward in the U.S. Congress to require that women receive all possible
information regarding their post-mastectomy breast reconstruction options, and we have
also supported truth-and-transparency legislation to combat false advertising by
non-physician providers.
As physicians, we are truly blessed to have the opportunity to treat our fellow
human beings. Each day, we all arrive at work and do our best for our patients while
trying to be advocates for health care. I am privileged to be a part of the greatest
profession in the world. Thank you for allowing me to be your president and I look
forward to seeing where this great organization is headed next.
Sincerely,
GREGORY R.D. EVANS, MD, FACS

A COMMITMENT TO ADVANCEMENT
It has been an exciting year of growth and advancement for The Plastic Surgery
Foundation (The PSF). We have made great strides in strengthening The PSF’s core
focus of developing projects and initiatives that support the clinical priorities and
needs of plastic surgeons and plastic surgery patients. The PSF’s diverse portfolio
exemplifies our commitment to effectively leveraging the philanthropic and innovative
spirit of our members—the spirit that has made the plastic surgery specialty a leader
in medical advancement. Working collaboratively with all stakeholders, we are driven
to execute the most promising new initiatives that are poised to transform The PSF’s
ability and potential to impact lives.
Our goals are ambitious and our legacy is grounded by our focus toward the future.
The research that The PSF develops and funds must have realistic, real-world
implications on healthcare delivery and patients’ lives. We rely on feedback and advice
from our advisory councils, members, partner organizations, and external agencies
to help us best allocate our resources toward the most important areas, which are
needed to strengthen and develop the future of medicine. In the years ahead,
The PSF will expand its presence as a reliable funding source and incubator for new
and innovative research. We will also continue to proactively develop multi-center
projects for the purpose of quality improvement and patient safety as part of our
overall strategy.
Building off of our strengths and previous successes, The PSF is positioned to be
a world leader in breast procedures, fat grafting, patient-reported outcomes,
and transplantation research. To do this, we rely on contributions from our dedicated
volunteers and donors. Their support and expertise enable The PSF to develop
and invest in the issues dear to the heart of plastic surgeons, including programs
that drive the development of new technologies and techniques, provide access
to care, and address timely patient safety issues. Through The PSF, the specialty
has the capability to advance medicine in 2014 and beyond.
Two-thousand thirteen was a year of significant growth. We are proud of the results
that were achieved, but the years ahead hold even more promise. We are grateful for
your support and partnership as we work together to continue to make advancements
for the specialty.
Sincerely,
KEITH M. HUME, MA
Staff Vice President and Chief Operations Officer

ON THE CUTTING EDGE OF MEDICINE
This past year serving as The PSF president has been an incredible experience. We saw
our development efforts blossom, research fellowships and projects funded, breast
reconstruction patients and children cared for domestically and around the world,
registries developed—the list goes on—it has been tremendously exciting.
By annually supporting new research, The PSF fosters an environment for scientific
discovery that improves patient care and helps plastic surgery stay on the cutting
edge of medicine.
The registry efforts—breast implant, ALCL, fat grafting, and others—bring together plastic
surgeons, other specialists, and government leaders, who want to contribute to answering
important questions that can only be solved through broad participation. The argument
could be made that these types of studies yield results that are quicker to realize and are
more immediately tangible than more basic science-oriented projects. This means
the PSF will have a direct impact on the clinical application of these innovative new ideas.
A wonderful example is fat grafting. I have used this technique from head to (almost) toe,
and the number of applications continues to increase. Probably the single most common
topic of projects granted research dollars for the next fiscal year is expanding our
knowledge in this area and helping us do it better.
We have been a leader in other areas as well. The BRA Day USA campaign, beginning
its third year, has already produced impressive results. Every one of us who does
autogenous or implant-based breast reconstruction benefits from this public awareness
effort—as do our patients.
The Caring for Kids campaign and VIPS efforts are, respectively, new and existing ways
that The PSF helps the public, both by directly funding patient care and increasing
awareness of plastic surgery’s efforts in this area. This expenditure of time, energy,
and money has positive effects in the United States and around the world.
I wish I had a crystal ball to see five, 10, 20 years down the road to see all that we’ve
been able to accomplish together. Thank you for allowing me to guide our path these
last 12 months.

ASPS FINANCIAL RESULTS
Fiscal year 2013 (FY2013) was an important year for the Society.
Through its strong cash position and stringent expense management,
ASPS continues to have the financial strength to invest in new programs
and other business development opportunities that will provide even
greater value to members and their practices now and in the years ahead. This past year
saw revenue growth from the success of our new symposium Managing Complications
and a strong scientific meeting at Plastic Surgery The Meeting in New Orleans.
On a consolidated basis, ASPS earned $23.7 million in operating revenues in FY2013
and incurred $21.2 million in operating expenses, resulting in Net Operating Income
(earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) of $1.7 million. Net operating
revenue was adversely affected by a combination of lower advertising revenues from
ASPS publications, The Regenerative Medicine Symposium, and the rotation of educational
programs that occur on a biennial basis.
ASPS made several technical investments to its infrastructure that ensures it continues
to effectively and efficiently address the needs of its members. These include additional
investments in the Society’s website, PlasticSurgery.org, as well as Plastic Surgery
Education Network (PSEN) and Access Medical Purchasing (AMP). The continuing
investment in each of these programs in FY2014 should establish a strong foundation
upon which members should realize value for many years to come.

THE PSF FINANCIAL RESULTS
In 2013, The PSF made significant investments in long-term projects and research to help
plastic surgery grow. By annually supporting new research, The PSF fosters an environment
for scientific discovery that improves patient care and helps plastic surgery stay on
the cutting edge of medicine. We reviewed 144 grant applications—almost a 10 percent
increase from 2012—further illustrating our presence as a funding institution. In 2013,
The PSF awarded 34 projects and invested more than $770,000 in clinical, basic, and
translational research. The future of plastic surgery is promising, and the winners of our
prestigious research awards represent the best and brightest, leading the specialty
to greater heights through investigator-initiated research and innovation.
The PSF has a unique ability to foster innovation and open new fields of treatment,
programs that transform the lives of patients, provide educational workshops, and award
grants and fellowships to advance the career development of young plastic surgeons.
Fifty-two percent of the funding comes from member contributions and 29 percent
from partnerships with industry.

ADVOCACY MATTERS
STATE LEGISLATIVE AFFAIRS
In 2013, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons continued to make significant strides
advocating for the plastic surgery specialty at the state government level. As a member
of the Stop Medical Taxes Coalition, ASPS worked with legislators and other specialty
groups to defeat damaging cosmetic tax proposals in Minnesota and Maine. ASPS was also
involved in efforts to repeal the sales tax on cosmetic medical procedures in Connecticut
and continues to support any future efforts to repeal cosmetic taxes.
As part of the American Medical Association’s Scope of Practice Partnership (SOPP),
ASPS opposed legislation in New York that would have expanded dental scope of
practice and also supported a bill in Louisiana that would have greatly expanded
the scope of optometry. ASPS continues to work on this issue with a goal of protecting
patient safety by challenging scope of practice expansions that are not proportionate
with a non-physician provider group’s education and training.
In 2013, passage of “Name Your Board” legislation, which remains a priority for ASPS,
was successful in Maine, Maryland and Nevada, and supported by ASPS in California,
Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, and Ohio. ASPS will continue to work with other
stakeholder physician groups to draw attention to the need for healthcare providers
to clearly and honestly advertise their level of training, education, and certification.
The Society worked closely with the Maryland Society of Plastic Surgeons and
the Maryland State Medical Society to protect plastic surgery’s interest in office-based
surgery. As a result, a measure was passed into law which strengthened oversight after
a highly publicized string of infections were tied to a local medical spa in the state.
Finally, legislation designed to implement an education campaign to inform women,
especially those in racial and ethnic minority groups, on their reconstructive options after
breast cancer was signed into law in Alabama, Illinois, and Ohio. ASPS continues to support
legislation at the state level to inform women of their reconstructive options after breast
cancer treatment in concert with our Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day initiatives.
FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE AFFAIRS
We are proud of ASPS’ work with the Secretary of Health and Human Services to clarify
the definition of reconstructive surgery used for insurance plans under the Affordable
Care Act, which includes all follow-up procedures for children with congenital deformities
or injuries.
ASPS also continued to fight for a permanent repeal of the flawed Medicare physician
payment formula (SGR) and stopped a 24 percent physician payment cut by working
closely with members of Congress as they developed a permanent repeal proposal,
commenting on various drafts from congressional committees of jurisdiction and meeting
with members of Congress to express ASPS priorities.
16
The Society worked with members of Congress in both the House of Representatives and
the Senate to have the Breast Cancer Patient Education Act introduced, which is designed
to increase breast cancer patient awareness about reconstruction options. ASPS also built
a coalition of support for the legislation. See below and next page for full list of supporters.
Challenges with the Affordable Care Act remain a priority in Congress and ASPS fought
for the repeal of the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB). The repeal legislation
reached 220 bipartisan co-sponsors in the House of Representatives and 36 bipartisan
cosponsors in the Senate in 2013. Additionally, we worked on legislation to repeal language
in the Affordable Care Act that would deem it illegal “discrimination” under federal law
for private health plans to make qualification distinctions between physicians and nonphysician healthcare providers when forming insurance plan panels.
ASPS also worked on critical issues to enable physicians to engage in private contracting
with Medicare beneficiaries; recommended legislation to combat false advertising by
non-physician providers; proposed changes to the meaningful use standards for electronic
health records; supported legislation that would increase the number of Graduate Medical
Education (GME) positions available, and ensure that newly created slots be designated
for specialty shortage residency programs.

NATIONAL BREAST RECONSTRUCTION AWARENESS (BRA) DAY
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons and The Plastic Surgery
Foundation continue to work to raise awareness about breast
reconstruction for cancer patients. Many women diagnosed with
breast cancer are not being informed of their reconstructive options
following breast cancer surgery. We hope to increase the number of
breast cancer patients who undergo restorative breast reconstruction
following their mastectomies, as it greatly improves a woman’s
quality of life. National Breast Reconstruction Awareness (BRA) Day, took place on
October 16, 2013 with events nationwide.

QUALITY AND HEALTH POLICY
QUALITY AND EVIDENCE-BASED MEDICINE
The society advanced its Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) Initiative, incorporating critically
appraised literature into all quality products including clinical practice guidelines and
quality initiatives. As a part of the initiative, the ASPS Evidence-Based Clinical Practice
Guideline on Breast Reconstruction with Expanders and Implants was finalized and
published in 2013. The guideline was accepted for publication to the National Guidelines
Clearinghouse website (guidelines.gov) and a guideline summary article will be published
as a PRS Journal CME article in 2014.
Consistent with the ASPS EBM initiative, staff continued a monthly critical appraisal and
assigned Levels of Evidence to PRS articles. We also provided additional critical appraisal
services, for MOC and CME reference articles to appropriately assign Levels of Evidence.
This year, we initiated participation in the “Choosing Wisely” campaign, an initiative of
the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). As the voice of plastic surgery among
thought leaders in the profession, ASPS member volunteers and Quality staff participated
in meetings with the National Quality Forum (NQF), Surgical Quality Alliance (SQA),
Guidelines International Network (G-I-N), Council of Medical Specialty Societies (CMSS),
and the AMA Physician Consortium for Performance Improvement (AMA-PCPI).
ASPS staff developed content for an online Performance Improvement Continuing Medical
Education (PI-CME) Module on Reduction Mammaplasty, which contains performance
measures, based on the most recent evidence, cited in the ASPS Clinical Practice Guideline
on Reduction Mammaplasty. Physician volunteers and staff also facilitated a collaboration
with the SQA, to draft and finalize the “Surgery & Public Reporting: Recommendations
for Issuing Public Reports on Surgical Care” document, which provides guidance on how
surgical specialties may go about initiating public reporting.
The Quality and Performance Measurement Committee reviewed four skin cancer
guidelines, developed by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), which
received ASPS’ endorsement.
The Quality and Performance Measurement Committee reviewed and submitted comments
on the National Quality Forum (NQF) Measure Evaluation guidance document; as well as for
the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel, European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel, and
the Pan Pacific Pressure Injury Alliance Draft 2014 International Pressure Ulcer Guideline,
further solidifying the Society’s position as a thought leader and highlighting ASPS
expertise in performance measure development, guideline development, and evidence
based medicine.
19
HEALTH POLICY
ASPS physician representatives and Health Policy staff advocated on behalf of plastic
surgery through the development and submission of comments on the CMS “proposed”
and “final” rules for the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. In this regard, ASPS fought to
prevent burdensome changes to the PQRS (Physician Quality Reporting System) program,
including a transition away from allowing performance measures to be reported via claims
and dramatically increasing reporting requirements.
Through the submission of comments, ASPS also successfully advocated for CMS to
consider including the Surgical CAHPS instrument in national reporting programs and
collaborated with Coding and Payment Policy volunteers to respond to potential changes
to the process for determining Practice Expense Relative Value Units (RVU), which directly
impact physician reimbursement. In addition, surgeon leaders and ASPS staff evaluated
and responded to changes in the healthcare system that directly impact the delivery of
plastic surgery care, including, but not limited to, implications of the Affordable Care Act
as well as participation in Accountable Care Organizations.
The team also conducted a thorough review and provided feedback to CMS, through
a third party vendor, on the search terms included on the Physician Compare website,
via the intelligent search functionality. ASPS also participated in the Alliance of Specialty
Medicine as Super Users for the Quality and Resource Use Reports (QRUR). QRURs provide
comparative information so physicians can view examples of the clinical care their patients
receive in relation to the average care and costs of other physicians’ Medicare patients.
ASPS will continue participating in this effort and providing feedback going forward.
Staff also shared education resources to assist ASPS members with ensuring compliance
with updated HIPAA requirements, PQRS, E-prescribing, and EHR incentive programs.
ASPS IS PLASTIC SURGERY’S VOICE WITH KEY OPINION LEADERS
20
CODING AND PAYMENT
Member volunteers and ASPS staff worked to develop recommendations to the Relative
Value Scale Update Committee (RUC) on practice expense RVUs, for plastic surgeryrelated CPT codes, and also provided guidance to plastic surgeons on coding for plastic
surgery procedures. Work was also done to advocate on behalf of members to third party
payors, regarding existing and newly established policies for coverage and reimbursement
of acellular dermal matrix (ADM).
ASPS worked to ensure that plastic surgery’s voice was heard with our responses to CMS
regarding NCCI (National Correct Coding Initiative) and MUE (Medically Unlikely Edits)
with regards to CPT coding. As the leader for the specialty, ASPS facilitated participation
in the RUC and CPT Editorial Panel. Our comments on proposed insurance coverage
policies for bio-engineered skin and soft tissue substitutes and destruction of
pre-malignant skin lesions were submitted to insurance companies in order to share
the plastic surgery perspective on appropriate use of and any potential reimbursement
issues for this advanced technology.
ASPS surgeon leaders and staff also successfully advocated against use of OPPS
(Outpatient Prospective Payment System) and ASC (Ambulatory Surgical Center)
rates in developing RVUs. ASPS staff also shared monthly Regulatory Updates to
the membership on issues affecting Health Policy and Physician Payment, which were
disseminated to the membership via Plastic Surgery News.
ASPS staff initiated the development of educational resources to assist members in
transitioning to ICD-10 and overall ICD-10 implementation.
PATIENT SAFETY
We evaluated government publications and position statements describing increased
complication rates that directly impacted patient safety in plastic surgery. In March 2013,
ASPS established a collaborative relationship with the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) in order to disseminate information about plastic surgery complications.

COMMUNICATIONS AND OUTREACH
ASPS DC FLY-IN
Each Fly-In gives members an opportunity to have
an impact in Washington, DC with different
opportunities throughout the year to engage
Congress and advocate for ASPS’ legislative
priorities. Together we work to stress the importance
of issues related to the specialty as we confront
regulatory and legislative challenges and work to
improve access to care for patients.
SOCIAL MEDIA
The Society’s vast network of print, Internet, and mobile resources include
industry-leading PlasticSurgery.org; educational portal PSENetwork.org;
plastic surgery news site PSNExtra.org; and public and member-centric
social media pages on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube.
FIND-A-SURGEON
The Find-a-Surgeon page on PlasticSurgery.org drives
patient referrals. In 2013, the tool received an average
of 58,000 visits per month with approximately 69 percent
of those visitors conducting a search online for an ASPS
Member Surgeon.
CARING FOR KIDS FUND
The Plastic Surgery Foundation established the Caring for Kids Fund
to transform the lives of disadvantaged children with physical
deformities. The public awareness campaign raises funds to increase access to care for
children in need of reconstructive surgery due to congenital birth anomalies, accidents,
abuse, or disease.
FRESH START CARING FOR KIDS FOUNDATION
In 2013, The Plastic Surgery Foundation signed a Memorandum of Understanding with
San Diego-based Fresh Start Surgical Gifts, a renowned charity that helps improve the lives
of children across the world through the gift of reconstructive surgery, to bring their charity
surgical care to children in Chicago at the University of Chicago Hospitals before 2016.

MEMBERSHIP PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES
The Plastic Surgery Education Campaign continues to promote
our public-facing initiatives. In fact, ASPS was honored
to be nominated for two Emmy Awards this year for our public
service announcements. Our nationally distributed statistics for plastic surgery also
continue to generate headlines nationwide and promote the importance of seeking
ASPS member surgeons.
Our Do Your Homework patient safety public education campaign
addresses a misconception among consumers that all doctors are
properly trained to perform plastic surgery.
Tracking Operations and Outcomes for Plastic Surgeons®
(TOPS) continues to grow as a resource for members to be able
to provide national data to measure against in their practice
and outcomes. It provides an evidence-based tool to use in comparing patient outcomes
and helps to identify clinical strengths and areas needing improvement on an individual
level. In 2013, we formed the TOPS Steering Committee charged with monitoring and
providing oversight/governance of the TOPS program. The committee also helps with
recommending strategic direction and organizational needs for the TOPS registry and
monitoring research and clinical activities. In 2013, more ASPS Members donated their
ABPS-MOC case log to TOPS than over the last five years (a 14 percent increase over 2012).
TOPS now contains more than 730,000 completed plastic surgery cases and 1.3 million
plastic surgery procedures.
The ASPS Women Plastic Surgeons Forum (WPS) represents and
advocates for the interests and concerns of the female plastic surgeon
members and candidates for membership of ASPS. The WPS Forum
seeks to empower female plastic surgeons within the Society through
networking, education, advocacy, and mentoring. The WPS Forum works to promote
women plastic surgeons and increase their involvement within organized medicine and
plastic surgery as a whole while simultaneously advancing the mission of ASPS.
The ASPS Young Plastic Surgeons Forum (YPS) is a diverse community
and resource for young plastic surgeons which provides opportunities for
networking, sharing of ideas, political advocacy, and leadership development. As a liaison
between plastic surgeons in the early stages of their careers and established ASPS
Member Surgeons, the YPS Forum facilitates opportunities for plastic surgeons who are
under the age of 42 and/or have been in practice for fewer than five years to become
involved in the Society, fostering an openness to new ideas and fresh perspectives.

CLINICAL TRIALS NETWORK
The Clinical Trials Network (CTN) is a leading facilitator of evidence-based medicine and
plastic surgery clinical trials research. It is focused on improving quality of care and patient
safety. Over the past year, The Plastic Surgery Foundation has allocated nearly $400,000
to study issues that have an immediate impact on the clinical practice of plastic surgery
through multi-center research initiatives. Our Late Breaking Research Abstracts session at
Plastic Surgery The Meeting provided attendees with up-to-the-minute data and provided
abstract presenters with notable exposure and recognition for studies likely to have
a significant impact on clinical practice. This year, four researchers presented their
“late-breaking” research. Topics ranged from Patient Reported Outcomes in Breast
Reconstruction to Volumizing Hyaluronic Acid Filler for Mid-Face Volume Deficit,
to Botulinum Toxin Type A for Raynaud’s Phenomenon.
The PSF Clinical Trials Network:
•Builds multi-center networks of leading clinicians and sites to identify and conduct
clinical research in priority areas in plastic surgery
•Identifies strategic research priorities suitable for multi-center clinical studies
•Develops and implements key research projects

FAT GRAFTING TO THE BREAST ONCOLOGIC SAFETY STUDY
Fat grafting to the breast is a procedure that shows great promise, although epidemiologic
studies of the technique’s oncologic safety are lacking. To meet this need, The PSF,
through the CTN, developed the first rigorously designed epidemiologic study of this topic.
It is evaluating a hospital-based population of stages I, II, and III breast cancer patients
who had mastectomy with reconstruction, comparing the relative risk of breast cancer
recurrence after autologous fat grafting to the breast compared to the risk for those who
did not receive fat grafting. The project is led by Principal Investigators Clara Lee, MD
and Terry Myckatyn, MD, and will determine if the use of autologous fat grafting to
supplement post-mastectomy breast reconstruction is associated with an increased risk of
local, regional, or distant breast cancer recurrence during the study period (2006 to 2011)
and will compare them to a random sample of patients without recurrence as controls.
The project is retrospectively collecting data from the following centers: MD Anderson
Cancer Center, University of Chicago, Washington University in St. Louis, and Memorial
Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Data collection is ongoing at this time.
GENERAL REGISTRY FOR AUTOLOGOUS FAT TRANSFER
J. Peter Rubin, MD, and Babak Mehrara, MD, serve as
Principal Investigators for the General Registry for
Autologous Fat Transfer (GRAFT) registry which was
initiated through the CTN. Core Site case collection is scheduled to begin in Spring 2014
and will open to all board-certified plastic surgeons following this initial phase.
GRAFT:
•Is a web-accessible national quality assurance registry that collects patient
demographics, procedural variables, complications, and incidence of new
or recurrent breast cancers at established time points
•Is the first U.S.-based, nation-wide registry developed to determine the safety
and efficacy of fat grafting to the breast for aesthetic and reconstructive surgery
•Applies The PSF’s BREAST-Q® scales to patient-reported outcomes and quality of life
• Provides insight into patient safety and establishes best practice guidelines that
have a broad impact on the plastic surgery community
31
PATIENT REGISTRY AND OUTCOMES FOR BREAST IMPLANTS AND
ANAPLASTIC LARGE CELL LYMPHOMA ETIOLOGY AND EPIDEMIOLOGY
In 2011, The PSF, ASPS, and the FDA began collaborating on
INVESTIGATING ALCL
& BREAST IMPLANTS
a five-year research project to conduct research and develop
a comprehensive breast implant-ALCL registry called the PROFILE.
This registry was started in response to reports of a possible link between women with
breast implants and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). PROFILE serves as an effort
to learn more about this potential association. The PSF serves as the coordinating center
and is responsible for all aspects of study coordination and project management.
A team of experts was comprised of plastic/breast surgeons, pathologists/oncologists,
and epidemiologists, to contribute their scientific input to the study and provide
recommendations on establishing case definitions, inclusion criteria, data points,
case report forms, and follow-up strategies.
Data collection is ongoing. Potential and confirmed cases of ALCL can be reported
to The PSF through ThePSF.org/profile.
NATIONAL BREAST IMPLANT REGISTRY
In June 2012, an amendment was made to the existing Cooperative
Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) between the ASPS,
The PSF, and the FDA to incorporate the exploration and development
of a National Breast Implant Registry into the existing infrastructure
set up for the PROFILE study.
In October 2012, ASPS, The PSF, and the FDA convened a stakeholder meeting with
the three device manufacturers with breast implants approved in the United States
(Allergan, Mentor, and Sientra). The meeting was an opportunity for each stakeholder
to discuss their role in the future registry, their concerns, and their expectations.
Since the October 2012 meeting, the stakeholder group has met regularly to identify
appropriate questions and data points to be addressed by the National Breast Implant
Registry. A systematic review of the breast implant literature is currently ongoing
to help inform which questions are appropriate and relevant for the registry. A Request
For Proposal (RFP) for database development will be issued in Spring 2014 with data
collection anticipated to begin in early 2015.
32
RESEARCH, TRAINING, AND IDEA INCUBATION
GRANT APPLICATION MENTORING SESSION
The PSF matches seasoned researchers with grant applicants whose grant proposals
were not funded or who are applying to The PSF or other funding agencies for grants
in the upcoming cycle. Established researchers review the grant proposals in advance
and then meet with the applicants during Plastic Surgery The Meeting to give them
advice on how the proposals could be strengthened or improved. The goal is to have
the applicants incorporate suggestions and then submit or resubmit their grant proposals
for the next funding cycle. The 2013 Grant Mentoring Workshop, led by Ergun Kocak, MD
was a huge success, with more than 10 applicants receiving mentoring.
TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION IN PLASTIC SURGERY
To further incubate and identify areas ripe for new technology, The PSF
hosted the Technology Innovation in Plastic Surgery (TIPS) meeting
May 31—June 2, 2013 in San Francisco. The meeting featured a global
faculty of leading plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and wound care
experts. This forum provided attendees with a broad view of innovations that have shaped
the industry and offered a glimpse of the products and technologies on the horizon.
TIPS was created to maintain a dialog among physicians and thought leaders from all
disciplines and industry to share information, solve problems, educate each other,
address unmet needs in the areas of aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, and accelerate
the development of better technology for patients.
SUPPORTED BY
2013 TIPS SNAPSHOT
•Interactive discussions with representatives from the highest level of industry
that enabled clinicians to share what they want and need in their practice
•A forum for “early-adopter” physicians to debate the direction of technology
investment to address the most meaningful clinical problems
•The Inaugural Innovation Challenge lead the way for new ideas and brought industry
into the mix early in the process

BREAST RECONSTRUCTION AWARENESS FUND
Only 33 percent of eligible women with breast cancer undergo breast
reconstruction. Less than a quarter of women know the wide range of breast
reconstruction options available. Established in 2012, The Breast Reconstruction
Awareness Fund plans to change these statistics by raising awareness about
the options for women following mastectomy, supporting breast reconstruction
organizations, and funding breast reconstruction research to ensure patients
experience the best care possible. Through this effort, The PSF is making an investment in
the lives of women as well as the specialty.
CARING FOR KIDS FUND
Every day many children courageously face the world with physical
imperfections caused by birth defects, disease, or injury. Reconstructive
surgery can help correct many of these issues, but many children do not have access to additional
surgery and care they need. The PSF has established this fund to provide financial support
to children in need of reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. This fund will also support research
into deformities caused by birth defects, abuse, and disease.
We partnered with Fresh Start Surgical Gifts for a concert benefitting
pediatric and craniofacial surgery at a concert by Grammy® Award-winning
singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow on the USS Midway in San Diego during
Plastic Surgery The Meeting 2013. These efforts represent an opportunity
to expand beyond the normal bounds of a professional organization and
to help with what is most important—patient care. More than $300,000
was raised for the partnership with more than $150,000 going to The Plastic
Surgery Foundation.
ANNUAL FUND
Gifts to The PSF’s Annual Fund promote the next generation of researchers through seed grants
which allow them to test scientific concepts specific to the specialty.
THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR PLASTIC SURGERY
Founded to support research and development in the field of plastic surgery,
NEPS specifically funds research directed toward immediate issues facing
the clinical practice of plastic surgery. All contributions to The Endowment
are added to the principal and remain there in perpetuity. Only the income generated by prudent investing of this principal is available to fund projects.
