Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is the Official Journal of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, also known as "the Blue Journal", has an impact factor of 2.7 (Google H-5 impact factor is 36) and its articles are downloaded more than 500,000 times a year.
In response to feedback from our readers and authors, we are pleased to announce some changes in the publication format for APS in 2024. To continue to improve our submission to publication timelines for authors, and towards a more dynamic online focus for our Journal in future, we will be producing more content, more regularly. APS will publish as two online issues per month, one online-only issue, and a second 'selected articles' issue, which will also be sent to print subscribers. This model allows us to publish more of your content sooner, and that print issues will be easier to navigate and enjoy. Print subscribers continue to receive the full table of contents for all online issues.

Aesthetic Plastic Surgery provides a forum for original articles advancing the art of aesthetic plastic surgery.
Many describe surgical craftsmanship ; others deal with complications in surgical procedures and methods by which to treat or avoid them.
Coverage includes “second thoughts” on established techniques, which might be abandoned, modified, or improved. Also included are case histories ; improvements in surgical instruments, pharmaceuticals, and operating room equipment ; and discussions of problems such as the role of psychosocial factors in the doctor-patient and the patient-public interrelationships.
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is abstracted and covered in Current Contents/Clinical Medicine, SciSearch, Research Alert, Index Medicus-MEDLINE, and Excerpta Medica/EMBASE, Science Citation Index Expanded.
