On behalf of the Board of the Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS), President, Dr Naveen Somia applauded and thanked the Specialist Plastic Surgeons who attended the inaugural Breast Masters Symposium held in Sydney from 18-20 October 2018.

There were also discussions on body image, Breast Implant Associated-Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) and the importance for Specialist Plastic Surgeons to input data into the Australian Breast Device Registry.
“As Specialist Plastic Surgeons who perform cosmetic surgery, we must commit to lifelong learning to acquire new knowledge and skills that improve patient care and patient safety. By attending the Breast Masters Symposium, the following Specialist Plastic Surgeons have demonstrated their commitment to Excellence in Cosmetic Surgery, and ASAPS would like to acknowledge this,” Dr Somia said.
