Peter A.
Hilger, MD;
Minas Constantinides, MD; and
David W. Kim,
MD, May 8 - 11,
2013, in Chicago,
for Advances in
Rhinoplasty. As
in previous years,
attendees can
expect everything
from the fundamentals to cutting edge techniques. New this
year—and not to
be missed—will
be several stimulating opportunities for attendees including
personal progressions, an open
microphone discussion, breakfast
sessions, and two brand new
rhinoplasty videos.
Five thought leaders have
been selected to speak about
their personal evolutions and
philosophies as their careers
progressed in rhinoplasty.
O The Rhinoplasty Patterns and
Solutions that I have Identified so
Far, Mark Constantian, MD
O 25-Year Experience with Structure Rhinoplasty, Dean M.

O My Learning Process in Rhinoplasty: What I learned from My
Mistakes, Gilbert Nolst Trenité,
MD
NOVEMBER/DECEMBER
2012
O
The Importance of Structural
Integrity in
Rhinoplasty: A
30-Year Experience, Stephen
W. Perkins, MD
O Structure,
Creativity, and
Common Sense
in Rhinoplasty,
Russell W.H.
Kridel, MD
An exciting
addition will be
an open microphone session,
where attendees
submit their
own cases or
issues for
discussion by
faculty and
attendees in a
unique "open mic" format. Dr.
Hilger; Wayne F. Larrabee, Jr.,
MD; William E. Silver, MD; and
Fred J. Stucker, MD, will moderate this interactive and informative discussion.
Inventive breakfast sessions
have been added, covering practice management issues. Regardless of market size or location,
attendees will have the opportunity to hear from the experts and
apply the principles to their own
practice.
Did you know two new videos
were produced specifically for this
meeting? You won't want to miss,

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE:
PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS
L
et me begin by saying thank you.
Thank you to the Nominating
Committee members who have put
their trust in me to lead this organization for the next year. Thank you to the
members who have endorsed the
committee's recommendation. Thank you to
all who have come before me—thanks,
Tom—and who have built and strengthened
this great Academy that I have the humbling
honor of leading. Thank you to all who have
put and continue to put time and energy
into making the AAFPRS the prestigious and important organization
that it is today. Thank you to all of you who work so hard and contribute
so much to make us successful—and we are and we have been successful! I want to emphasize that, because, as we approach our fiftieth year,
we need to be cognizant of just how successful we've been, and the
implications that our success could have on our future—but more on
that at the end.
I want to thank the many members and the employees that make
our organization tick—it is all of you that I will have to thank throughout the next year for making me look good—so please,keep up the good
work! Now I'll take the risk of naming a few people—I apologize in advance to anyone I leave out—please do not be hurt. I must single out my
dear friend Robert Simons, MD, who has been a constant source of
encouragement and who worries about this organization more than
anyone I know. Many of us share Bobby's sense of commitment and
dedication to our specialty and to this Academy, but I don't think that
anyone else can love this Academy the way that Bobby does. Thank you,
Bobby. I also have to thank Ted A. Cook, MD, who annoyingly but
lovingly continued to prod me to sit for ABFPRS certification, which I did
of course, even though I had promised myself that I'd never take another
exam—and then I did it again for the MOC? And thanks to Daniel E.
Rousso, MD, and Lee Smith, MD, who generously gave their time to help
me study.
I spent 10 years on the Board of this organization as a vice president
and then as secretary; I have worked with many of our leaders and
served under more than 20 percent of our presidents. Do you know what
the best part of it is? I consider every one of you to be a friend. We didn't
always agree—I guess that's what being on a board is all about—but we
always respected each other's opinions, and, for the most part, we
always listened to each other even when we didn't agree. What great
friends I've made, guys like Donn R. Chatham, MD, who has to be one of
the funniest guys in the Academy with an amazingly sarcastic wit;
William E. Silver, MD, who has always maintained his sense of humor
and sense of loyalty to this organization; Peter A. Adamson, MD, who is
one of the most organized and dignified leaders in our group; E. Gaylon
McCollough, MD, a towering figure—who, by the way, deserves a special
thanks for putting on a great rhinoplasty course in Birmingham that I
attended more years ago than I care to admit, but back then I took it all
in like a sponge, and I still use much of what I learned back then; Fred
J. Stucker, MD, who was wearing his naval whites when I first met
him—in his own way, a true gentleman—though I'd bet he'd be the first
to contest that; and M. Eugene Tardy, Jr., MD, the consummate gentleman, like those who followed him, J. Regan Thomas, MD, and Dean M.
Toriumi, MD. Of course, Shan R. Baker, MD, has been a mentor in more

intentions thwarted by more
pressing and often politically
charged issues that have arisen
during their terms in office. I
recall the serendipity of Dr. Steve
Perkins’ presidency coordinating
with a dear friend of his being a
leader in oral and maxillofacial
surgery. Yet his attempts at
reconciliation and cross fertilization between the two groups
seemed destined to failure from
the start. I was invited to be part
of Dr. Sykes' efforts to work with
his friends at ASAPS on the EBM
initiative—so far so good—hats off
to you Jon. And I am assuming
office, as my good friend Greg
Evans will be taking over the

PRESIDENTIAL GAVEL FROM OUTGOING
PRESIDENT TOM D. WANG, MD.
ASPS presidency in about a
month. Let's see how we do.
Interspecialty efforts are important, and I support them fully,
but only on the condition of
mutual respect. How does one
achieve that? By working together
and developing it in the trenches.
This can happen at home by
collaborating on cases and
making competitors into colleagues. It can happen nationally
by working together on initiatives
like EBM, safety coalitions, and
the like.
I have a proposal: I propose—
and this is a tough one for everybody, in every specialty—that we
all work together to make quality

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○
ways than he probably realizes—
Shan, thank you. And Howard W.
Smith, MD, what a special individual. And the most recent
presidents: Vito C. Quatela, MD;
Dr. Chatham; Dr. Rousso; Dr.
Sykes; and Dr. Wang, thanks for
making the Academy so strong for
me. It will certainly make my job a
lot easier. I could go on and on,
Peter A. Hilger, MD; Ira D. Papel,
MD; Wayne F. Larrabee, Jr., MD,
so many great friends, so many
great people, the list is so long.
But the point is not to name
individuals, the point is that this
is what makes this Academy so
great. It is made up of great
people! We have such a rich
history, and our successes have
been built on the backs and
shoulders of people. Thanks to all
of you for what you've done and
for what you continue to do.
I also must of course thank
my lovely wife, Jessie ShayevitzKellman, MD, for her constant
support. She doesn't always like
it, particularly the conference
calls that go on for hours and
hours, yet she remains supportive always—thanks for being
there, Honey—and of course the
rest of my family who could not
join us today. I would also like to
thank my partners and to the
employees of my department—
each in his or her own way has
contributed to my being here
today. And so many of us list our
teachers, all of whom have in fact
been important in my development, but I would be remiss if I
didn't say a word of appreciation
for my residents and fellows who
over the years have taught me so
much as well.
So let's talk about the Academy. I have been here many times
and watched many a president
accept the gavel of leadership
from his predecessor, just as I
have done today. Each has
brought new ideas, most of which
have been implemented, though
many have found their best

GIVEN DURING
of care a priority over provider of
care. Let our war be not against
another specialty but against bad
results! Let us laud quality,
regardless of who is performing
the work; and let us work together to educate those who
perform poorly (and try to stop
those who are exceeding their
knowledge).
We should also do our best to
mend fences with our otolaryngology colleagues. From a political
perspective, they are larger than
we are and have far more clout.
They do not have to fight for
recognition of their board. We are
having some rocky times. Next
year, for the first time ever—while
I'm president, of course—we will
have our Academy meeting
separately from the AAO-HNS
meeting. They're meeting in
Vancouver in September, and
we're meeting in New Orleans in
October. We will need your support there more than ever, so
please plan to attend. William W.
Shockley, MD, and Steve Dayan,
MD, have promised a stupendous
program. But to the point, we
need to do our best to encourage
their leaders to respect and
support our leaders and our
organization.
I hope that we can continue to
participate in COSM. We rejoined
last year and had a great meeting. Fred G. Fedok, MD, and
Tessa Hadlock, MD, will run our
COSM meeting this year in
Orlando. Please try your best to
attend, and send your residents!
What else do I want to do? I
want to put the “R” back in
AAFPRS. What do I mean by that?
There is a reason that this organization was named the American
Academy of Facial Plastic and
Reconstructive Surgery. And it is
not a trivial reason. It has to do
with foundations. We can get so
caught up in injectables, that we
can forget that a complete surgeon has to also know how to do

Academy past president Daniel E.
Rousso, MD. "This new book is
outstanding, and will be a great
resource for those patients
contemplating facial plastic
surgery."
The presentation is more
inviting with new photographs,
revised color scheme, and patient
testimonials. Purchase copies to
display in your waiting room or
send to your referral sources.
"I had my marketing people
make a sticker insert that goes
inside the cover. It has a practice
profile with the doctors’ pictures,"
says Louis DeJoseph, MD, who
practices in Atlanta. "Also, stickers with the logo and practice
information go on the front and
back of the book. These have then
been distributed to dental offices,
salons in the area, etc."
This must-read for patients
presents concise information on
all major procedures. The more
than 100 before-and-after photos,
plus medical illustrations, highlight the text and help the reader
navigate through potential treatment options with ease.

part of the Johns
Hopkins face transplant team. The
Johns Hopkins
University's Institutional Review
Board (IRB) formally approved plans in late July to
begin performing facial transplants. The operation, performed
a total of just six times in the
United States, requires advance
IRB approval of the team of
specialists and their approach to
securing donors, selecting patients, providing follow-up care,
and other surgical plans.
The Johns Hopkins team, led

surgery. And we can just as
easily get so caught up in soft
tissue surgery that we can forget
that the hard tissue underneath
is the foundation. Efforts to
correct skeletal defects by addressing only the soft tissues,
while sometimes successful, can
also sometimes result not only in
poor results, but also worse,
potentially uncorrectable results.
We need to be educated as complete facial plastic and reconstructive surgeons, even if we
intend to practice only a narrow
portion. That education will teach
us our limitations, so we know
when to ask for help and what
best to offer those who come to us
for help.
I have asked Daniel S. Alam,
MD, and Jeffrey Spiegel, MD, to
lead a task force to try to make
this initiative successful. I ask
everyone for their support in this
endeavor. We need to support our
reconstructive colleagues when
they present at our meetings—
even if we don't perform a particular procedure, there is so
much we can learn from their
depth of knowledge.
And what about the value of
another “R,” respect. If we want
our friends to be true professional
colleagues and pay dues and
support our organization, we have
to make them feel like they have a
home in our organization. How do
you think it makes someone feel
when they walk up to the podium
and there is a stampede toward
the doors? I have chosen to
believe that my election represents an endorsement of these
ideas. Please help me accomplish
this. It is good for you. It is good
for your patients. And it is in the
best interests of facial plastic and
reconstructive surgery.
Next, I would like to compliment our international colleagues. You are doing great—and
you are expanding at an astounding rate. I attended the meeting in
Rome, and it may have been the
best ever. Congratulations! Please
IN
AAFPRS...RECONSTRUCTIVE
continue to take the best from the
many successes of the AAFPRS
and try your best to avoid our
mistakes as you strive and climb
the mountains of achievement in
facial plastic and reconstructive
surgery. And remember, your
strength comes from your members. Nurture them and encourage them; make sure they
represent you well.
That's really what this is all
about isn't it? Members. Why?
Because we are a membership
organization. Therefore, we are no
more and no less than the people
that are our members. Did you
know that 90 percent of the
capital campaign pledges are
from our members? Keep in mind
that when membership drops, the
obligations of the Academy do not
decrease. We are forced to rely on
fewer people to fulfill the needs of
the membership, particularly the
educational needs and the support services, including the staff,
the PR, and the ever-looming
legal issues. Obviously, when we
have to rely on fewer members,
we ask more of each, which tends
to make those who feel less
committed to the organization
reassess their commitment.
I like to think of membership
as a kind of citizenship, and dues
as kind of an obligation of the
citizen. The dues support the
organization so that it can fulfill
its obligations to its members.
However, this is where things
have the potential to break down.
Members have desires and
expectations—and sometimes the
needs of individual members
cannot be met by the organization. As with any citizen-run
group, the Academy has to prioritize its efforts to provide the most
for the most, which may sometimes disappoint individual
members. Here I would like to
quote Bill Cosby, who once said:
“I don't know the key to success,
but the key to failure is trying to
please everyone.”
But I have always been
enamored with the classic and

AND
time-honored quote from President John F. Kennedy, and I'd like
to borrow and bend it a bit for our
Academy: “Ask not what your
Academy can do for you, ask what
you can do for your Academy.”
The most important thing that
this Academy can do for any of its
members is remain strong,
powerful, and influential. We may
not be able to respond to the
concerns of each individual
member, but by being strong and
representing our specialty, we
respond to the needs of all of our
members.
Which brings me back to the
beginning, the issue of the negative impact that our many successes can have on our future.
What am I talking about? I am
referring to the fact that we are
now, for the most part, recognized
as facial plastic surgeons. I know
there are several specialties
represented among our membership, but the majority of us began
as otolaryngologists. Today,
organized otolaryngology enjoys
the benefit of the success of the
AAFPRS. Of course, facial plastic
surgery is now listed as a subspecialty in the OTO-HNS board
certification, but would otolaryngology enjoy that recognition had
it not been for the efforts of this
Academy? I think not. Would our
members who have quit—and
now I'm referring to those who
continue to practice even a little
facial plastic surgery—would they
likely have been able to do so
without frequent challenges were

FACE UPDATE: TWO TRIPS
C
raig S. Murakami, MD,
of Seattle, recently led
the fifth FACE TO FACE
surgical mission to
Cambodia, June 24-30, 2012, as
part of a recurring humanitarian
program to the region. The team
members included Kathleen C.Y.
Sie, MD, and Richard Wright, MD,
of Seattle; Lt. Col. Scott Roofe,
MD, of Honolulu; and Frank
Duggan, MD, of Washington, D.C.
As with past missions, the group
worked closely with Theavy Mok,
MD, the local plastic surgeon, at
the Khmer Soviet Friendship
Hospital in Phnom Penh.
The mission primarily focused
on microtia reconstruction with
both primary stage and completion of planned second stage
procedures performed on previous
missions. The team also performed a number of nasal reconstructive and local procedures
such as scar revision. The mission was a tremendous success
with approximately 50 clinic
patients evaluated and 25 surgical procedures performed.
Dr. Sie's husband, Thomas S.
Hatsukami, MD, and their teenage daughters, Alyssa and Andrea, assisted the group. "It was a
life-changing experience for all of
us to observe and experience
Cambodian medicine," Dr. Sie
says. "Although we all had different roles in the mission, we were
equally impressed and inspired
by Theavy Mok. Craig and Theavy
have developed an exemplary
program to provide reconstructive
surgery for Cambodians with
microtia and their commitment to
the patient population and
understanding of the importance
of the perioperative care are
critical to the success of the

it not for this Academy? I think
not. So our success gives them
the freedom to benefit from our
accomplishments without the
burden and responsibility of
citizenship. This is a message
that we need to transmit to our
friends and colleagues who
benefit from our existence but
choose not to support us.
If there's one thing I've
learned by being on the board for
many years, it is that our right to
be who we are is constantly being
challenged—despite better relations with some of our competitors at the leadership level—and
that we must be continually
vigilant and strong. We must
continue to fight the challenges to
our position as they occur, or we
will go backwards.
So the next time an individual
member is disappointed by the
Academy's inability to solve a
local problem, please remember
that we have to use our resources
wisely and for the greatest good of
the greatest number of our
members. If you find yourself a
little disappointed, realize that we
need your support more than
ever. Help more, contribute more,
and work harder to convince your
friends and colleagues to join and
support us as we continue to
make facial plastic and reconstructive surgery the strongest,
smartest, most talented, best
represented, and best educated
specialty it can possibly be.

J. Charlie Finn, MD, of
Chapel Hill, N.C., traveled this
past July to Quetzaltenango in
central Guatemala to investigate
developing future FACE TO FACE
trips. The trip was a huge success. He traveled with his nurse
and an additional assistant. They
worked closely with a churchbased community clinic that was
set up to handle labor and delivery, but had an adequate OR and
means to sterilize instruments.
They met and became friends
with an exceptional orthopedic
surgeon who was able to work
with them to navigate questions
that came up while working with
their hosts.
DR. FINN EVALUATES A PATIENT
DURING HIS TRIP TO GUATEMALA AND
PERFORMED 25 CASES IN ONE WEEK.
G
Local medical students helped
in the OR and organized the
clinic. Dr. Finn saw 55 patients in
one morning, then did 25 cases
over the week including cleft lip
revisions, scar revisions, several
microtia variations, and even two
rhinoplasties with a local anesthetist. Many patients had to be
turned away for lack of anesthesia and time. He also gave a wellreceived lecture to 120 local
physicians at a women's medical
society meeting and spent time
teaching the local medical students.
The next trip has already
been planned for October 19-26,
2013. There is need for microtia
repair, as well as cleft palate, lip,
and nose repair.

academic training in the quantitative and methodological principles of clinical research design,
research management, and
statistical analysis. Long-term
consideration will be given to
whether a separate entity to
conduct independent research
studies would be viable for the
AAFPRS. The Academy is dedicated to improving patient outcomes and seeks to change the
culture through research and
evidence-based medicine.

T
he Many Faces of Generosity capital campaign
culminated at the 2012
Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C., on September 7, at
the Carnegie Institute for Science. The evening celebrated the
vision of AAFPRS leaders that was
years in the making by exceeding
the goal to secure $4 million in
gifts and pledges to support three
key pillars identified by AAFPRS
members:
O Educational Excellence: The
New Face of Education for the
Next Generation
O Research: Changing Our Culture through Research and
Evidence-Based Medicine
O Humanitarian Programs:
Launching FACE TO FACE to New
Heights
These funds will be used to
finance key projects currently
under development by the
AAFPRS Foundation.
1) The AAFPRS will implement
a world class, Web-based educational portal for members with
appropriate corporate interaction.
The Academy aims to be at the
forefront of online education by
developing a portal that will
provide members with access to
training and information as they
need it, not just when it is available.
2) The Academy will provide
grants to expand our research
efforts beyond the current grant

2011 Annual Giving Report for the AAFPRS
Mission
In 1974, the Educational and Research Foundation for the American Academy of Facial Plastic and
Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS Foundation) was created to foster, promote, support, augment, develop, and
encourage investigative knowledge and charitable and humanitarian application of facial plastic and
reconstructive surgery.
General Overview for 2011
This was a banner year for the AAFPRS Foundation. Annual gifts continued to be received as the Foundation
launched an unprecedented capital campaign called The Many Faces of Generosity - Facing the Future and
Beyond.
The AAFPRS Foundation had 199 donors; 78 individuals rose to the occasion and became 1887 members. An
1887 member is an individual or organization whose philanthropic commitment to the AAFPRS Foundation is
$1,000 or more (actual cash donation) during fiscal year 2011.
An Annual Fund generates money that the AAFPRS Foundation can count on each year. An Annual Fund is:
w The cornerstone of a comprehensive development program
w Separate and distinct from money raised for a capital campaign or endowment
The Annual Fund raised (cash only): $602,556.00. The Capital Campaign raised (cash only): $310,140.50. For
a complete list of Capital Campaign donors (cash and pledges as of October 15, 2012) please refer to the
previous pages of this issue of Facial Plastic Times.

"
never dreamed I would come
away from an examination
feeling so pumped about the
experience," confides Mitchell
Kaye, MD, in a conversation after
Mitchell D. Kaye, MD

the best in examinees. And

every 10 years isn't a lot to ask."
David W. Stepnick, MD,

the ABFPRS Maintenance of
Certification in Facial Plastic and
Reconstructive Surgery (MOC in
FPRS) exam. Dr. Kaye was one of
36 ABFPRS diplomates who took
the Board's recertification exam
in 2012 and was glad he did. "The
MOC in FPRS experience, for me,
was excellent from start to finish.
The test was fair in terms of time,
content, and breadth. It was
administered in a highly professional and unbiased manner that
made me proud to be a participant," Dr. Kaye emphasizes in a
letter to the Board after the
examination.
Terry L. Donat, MD, another
one of the 36 2012 MOC in FPRS
candidates, had the same feeling.
"You know, my certification is
time limited and I know I had to
do this, and I'm glad it's over," he
states. "But I have to confess—it
was a really good examination."
He expressed this to MOC in
FPRS examiners during the exit
interviews. "Of course, I'll be
nervous until the results come
out, but this is what an MOC
examination should be all about
demonstrating your knowledge
and experience levels to prove
you're a competent physician. I'd
much rather participate in an
examination process like this one
that includes an oral component
instead of sitting down in front of
a computer for a CBT. ABFPRS
oral examiners are tops in their
David W. Stepnick, MD
another 2012 candidate and an
ABFPRS Board member, had a
slightly different reaction after
the recertification exam was over.
"I was nervous," relays Dr.
Stepnick. "Even though I teach
otolaryngology and plastic surgery residents each day at University Hospitals of Cleveland, I
hadn't taken a written exam in
two decades and I was a little
concerned that I was out of
practice when it came to testtaking. The exam tested exactly
what it should for those of us who
practice facial plastic surgery," he
says. "But, I was just keeping my
fingers crossed and saying a few
prayers until I found out that I
had passed." Dr. Stepnick went
on to stress, "Taking the recertification exam really taught me,
despite being an ABFPRS examiner for a number of years, why
lifetime as well as time-limited
diplomates should complete the
ABFPRS MOC in FPRS program.
Quite simply, I was a really good
doctor before the program, but I'm
an even better doctor for having
completed it," he concludes.
Applications for the 2013
MOC in FPRS cycle are available
online, www.abfprs.org, and
should be received by January
15, 2013. If you have questions
regarding eligibility or completion
requirements, contact Laurie

tion was superb. There was a real
feeling of camaraderie among the
students. Evenings were spent
dining out at excellent restaurants in this surprisingly charming part of the world just across
the Hudson River from Manhattan. My skills in sculpture improved substantially. And surprisingly, when I returned to my
practice, I found myself looking at
patients with an improved aesthetic sense, as if another veil had
been lifted between the truth of
their anatomy and my ability to
fully comprehend it." --Michael S.
Godin, MD
"It is very clear that the
paradigm of facial aesthetics is
now centered on facial volume and
shape, and rightfully so. The
insight and skills offered by
learning the art of sculpture has
practical application for the facial
plastic surgeon." --Timothy R.
Miller, MD
All attendees concluded that it
was an unqualified success and
well worth the week off of work to
participate. The annual collaboration between the Academy and the
New York Art Students League will
continue under the direction of
Professor Gary Sussman and
course founder Steven Neal, MD.
The course is limited to 10 individuals per year and is scheduled
for October of next year. Contact

A
ttendees of the recent
Facial Sculpture for
Surgeons class held in
New York, July 12-18,
2012, couldn't have been more
enthusiastic about their experience. The following feedback was
collected.
"Plastic surgery and sculpture
are the essence of understanding
and interpretation of the anatomical form." --Michael J. Sullivan,
MD
"Sculpting with appropriate
directions and rules teaches one
to better understand what one
actually sees when observing the
most simple things—as it simultaneously sharpens the hands'
ability to translate and the eyes'
interpretation of what is actually
there. In short, plastic surgical
technique can be improved when
the brain can reveal a clearer
image to the aesthetic surgeon of
what the eye sees and the hand
can create more precisely in
planning and performing surgical
procedures." --William E. Silver,
MD
"The artistic environment, the
total focus on form, the ongoing
hands-on teaching, and the lively
friendship building, all combined
to make this a special time to
remember. And while I thought I
arrived with a solid appreciation of
the three-dimensional anatomy of
the face, this very "right brain"
discipline helped me to envision
and appreciate from
a less scientific
and more artistic
manner, the topographic beauty and
anatomy of the
head and neck even
better. (And the
model was most
exceptional.)"
--Donn R. Chatham,
MD
"The sculpture
retreat was an
extremely enjoyable
place to spend five
days of one's life.

A
s the AAFPRS liaison of
the OFPSA and past
OFPSA president, in
September, I sat at the
Fall Meeting in Washington, D.C.,
and could not be more proud of
our organization and how far we
have come. For those that have
come before me, Candy, Lynn,
Beth, Carlie, and those after me,
Tracy, it is always our goal to
make it better than how we found
it—and Tracy did more than that.
The past two years have been
phenomenal. I thank Tracy
Drumm for her dedication and
hard work. I congratulate our
incoming OPFSA president Kristi
Fritz and look forward to seeing
us continue our growth.
Even more so, the physician
support that we have now is so
exciting. As I listened to the panel
of past AAFPRS presidents speak
at our Fall Meeting—Keith A.
LaFarriere, MD, our biggest and
longtime supporter; Steven J.
Pearlman, MD; Tom D. Wang, MD;
and Ira D. Papel, MD—thank you
for giving us the respect that we
have worked so hard to earn.
I remember the days of appearing in front of the Academy
Board of Directors at midnight (as
we were last on the agenda) to
ask for our annual $5,000 for
support from the Academy. This
basically covered our meeting
room and if we were lucky, a
speaker. Today, we gain our own
sponsorships and there is an
enormous amount of volunteer
work that goes into raising dollars
through local support. With Ann
and Steve's help, we make sure
not to cross boundaries with
sponsorships and are still able to
support our organization through
outside funding.
The OFPSA has had many
dedicated leaders over the past
year and physicians’ support that
has brought us where we are
today. Thank you Ann Jenne,
Rita Chua Magness, Steve Duffy,
and the rest of the staff, for giving
us the support that we need
to continue.
I am proud to be a part of
this organization and can't
wait to see where we go from
here. If you are not sending a
staff member to the meeting and
you don't' know about us—
contact me or any individual
mentioned above. We are happy to
educate you. Kristi, we wish you
the best of luck in your journey
with this organization. Know that
all of us will be with you every
step of the way.
You may contact me at anytime at regina@anaturalyou.com.
Moving Forward
By Kristi Fritz, President
Let me start off by saying, Thank
you Regina!
As the new president of the
OFPSA, I would like to express my
appreciation to the members of
this organization for electing me. I
am truly looking forward to this
incredible journey. I also have to
thank Tracy Drumm for her
ability to pave the way for me; she
is a true trailblazer! Tracy has
done an amazing job over the
past two years as president, and I
have some very big shoes to fill!
I think I speak for every
member of this organization,
when I say that our greatest
appreciation goes out to the
surgeons and members of the
AAFPRS. Each year we are lucky
enough to attend the Fall Meeting, and return home with a
wealth of knowledge to share with
our co-workers. Year after year,
our rate of new attendees grows,
and we can only thank the
doctors for their support in
making that feasible. I personally
want to express gratitude to Dr.
Papel and Theda C. Kontis, MD.
They have made it possible for me
to attend the Fall Meeting for
many years. I genuinely believe
that I am an improved profes-

OFPSA UPDATE: REFLECTING BACK
sional due to the knowledge I
have attained through the
OFPSA.
Dr. LaFarriere mentioned on
the panel that the OFPSA meetings were once perceived as a
treat or a reward for the staff to
attend, but now have become
mandatory for everyone. I can't
agree more, and that comment
only attests to how important this
organization and our meetings
have become.
As our team of officers plan
for the 2013 meeting, I think
about how each president has left
their personal mark on the
organization and the industry. I
pledge that the mark I leave will
be considerate of what my peers
are expecting of me. I will attempt
to influence members as much as
my predecessors have achieved
for me. I encourage any suggestions or ideas from members, as
that is what the organization is
all about…continuous support. I
am looking forward to an exceptional year!

T
he AAFPRS Fall Meeting was filled with
exciting presentations that included a Face
Transplantation Panel. The big draw was the
presence of two patients who courageously
shared their stories and gratitude toward the team of
surgeons. The panel generated significant media
interest, including interviews with local Washington
D.C., television WUSA-TV and News Channel 8;
national radio shows, “Radio Health Journal” and
“Total Entertainment with David Ruben”; and national online news publication, TheAtlantic.com.
On the floor of the convention hall, Green Room
PR hosted one-on-one public relations sessions at
the Academy booth to provide counsel to members on
their own communications and marketing efforts.

AAFPRS in the news
The Associated Press recently conducted an interview with Beverly Hills-based Academy member,
Babak Azizzadeh, MD, on the subject of men who
receive Botox.
In other news, Tom D. Wang, MD, was featured on
the cover of Plastic Surgery Practice in an article
called, "Passing the Torch." The article focused on
his accomplishments during his presidency and
included a preview of what is to come under the
leadership of Robert M. Kellman, MD.
A press release announcing Dr. Kellman's appointment as Academy president was issued and
garnered coverage in the Central New York Business
Journal, Syracuse.com, and Plastic Surgery Practice.
In October, Green Room distributed a press
release highlighting the Academy's humanitarian
program, FACE TO FACE, to coincide with Domestic
Violence Awareness Month. Media interest in the
topic has been strong with radio interviews and
more.
Social media update
The Academy's social media pages have had a facelift
of their own thanks to the new Facebook timeline
format and the new layout of Twitter. Green Room
designed and published a cover photo to the Academy Facebook, which visually supports the
Academy's mission and also added a similar photo to
fit the new Twitter layout. In addition, the Academy
social media channels have witnessed extraordinary
growth with Facebook up to 255 fans and Twitter up
to 405 followers. Along with this growth, there has
been increased engagement, most noticeable in our
recent "Awards Week," where we highlighted those
who received awards at this year's Fall Meeting. In
total, the Awards Week posts generated 57 "likes"
and seven comments.

With the first signs of aging showing around the
eyes, what can patients do to rejuvenate and revitalize the area? This article will be informative in
covering the scope of possibilities.
A patient asks the expert, Is laser skin resurfacing painful? Will it take care of acne scarring? Do you
use anesthesia or a numbing agent? The health tip
will offer suggestions on how to lower your risk of
infection following a treatment or surgery. And
rounding out the column on page three, the what's
new will feature laser light and the future of injections as needle-free and painless.
Most facial plastic surgeons have encountered a

GIVING THE GIFT
CONFIDENCE
TECHNOBABBLE MADE
SIMPLE: THE CONTROL KEY
T
his new column called, “Technobabble,” will
feature tips and advice relative to your
everyday technology functions. This issue
will focus on various ways to use the “control” key to add ease and save time on the keyboard.
The “ctrl” key is located at the very bottom left of
a PC’s keyboard. Many are accustomed to its standard use, logging into a computer with “Ctrl + Alt +
Del.” However, there are many other uses for the
control key. For example: “Ctrl + A” will highlight all
text on a certain Web page or document. Also, “Ctrl +
C” will copy all selected media or text. “Ctrl + V” will
paste that media or text into any document.
In programs such as Microsoft Word, Google
Docs, etc., there are many “control” shortcuts that
will make typing easier. For example, “Ctrl + B” will
make all selected text bold. To make all selected text
italicized, use “Ctrl + I.” Also, “Ctrl + U” will underline the selected text. For superscript, use “Ctrl +
Shift + +.”
In any Web site, it is possible to use the “Ctrl +
P” in order to print. In programs similar to Microsoft
Word and Google Docs, “Ctrl + Z” will undo any
previous action. In order to delete text or media, but
be able to paste it later, use “Ctrl + X.” This will
“cut” the selected text or media.
Specifically in Microsoft Word, “Ctrl + N” will
open a new, blank document. “Ctrl + S” will save the
document that is currently open. When in a blank,
new document, “Ctrl + O” can be used to open an
existing document. However, on any given Web site
or document, you can type “Ctrl + F” to find a specific word or phrase. After the keys are pressed, a
search box will appear—just type the phrase or word
into the box. All examples of that phrase on the
given document or Web page will be highlighted!
These shortcuts are for a PC; however, you can
apply them to a Mac by using the "command" key
instead of the "Ctrl."
