Cosmetic surgery brings limitless possibilities. Each year, new treatments and procedures are introduced and more and more people discover the possibilities. Safer and more effective treatments have led to the dramatic growth in cosmetic surgery, and non-invasive procedures have fueled exponential growth.

The American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery fosters, promotes, supports, augments, develops and encourages the science, art and practice of cosmetic surgery. Since its formation in 1985, AACS has grown to become the leading representative of cosmetic surgery practitioners from a diverse array of medical disciplines including general surgery, plastic surgery, dermatologic surgery, ophthalmology and otolaryngology.

Cosmetic surgery is a serious decision. Whether you are considering a full face lift or Botox®, liposuction or breast implants, cosmetic surgery should not be taken lightly. AACS is here to provide you with objective and reliable information to help you make an informed decision about your care and help ensure the safest, most effective treatment available.
