We know that our mission at ISAPS is to inspire and nurture excellence in aesthetic education for the safety of our patients. Our values at ISAPS stress the ability to remain resilient and to succeed in an increasingly complex profession. As such, we are committed to the ongoing education of our members, which is not only about surgery and practice skills, or WHAT we practice, but also HOW we deliver this as surgeons managing ourselves, leading our teams, serving our patients, and bringing our best selves to work. We want to realize our full potential as surgeons as true Leaders in the Aesthetic World. For this, and in the words of our President Lina Triana, we want to encourage all our members to strive for a leadership approach to their life and work.
