Aims & Scope
Facial Plastic Surgery(FPS) is the official journal of the European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery (EAFPS), the leading European professional society for board-certified facial plastic surgeons. Founded in 1977, the EAFPS promotes the highest standards of surgical excellence, continuing education, research, innovation, and patient safety across more than 23 countries.
