Pan Pacific Surgical Assoc – Hawaii Plastic Surgery Symposium

Why go to Hawaii?

…is a question that you probably already have the answer to. Hawaii is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Enriched with its unique blend of cultures and history, it is a place open for adventure from its beautiful and majestic mountains, golden-sand beaches, waterfalls, and lush forests. It is one of the most unique places in the world embracing both the spiritual beauty of the hula and the visceral power of an active volcano.

This is your opportunity to experience all that is Hawaii. Join us to celebrate the 36th anniversary of our biennial Hawaii Plastic Surgery Symposium, January 18-19, 2025, at the Waikiki Prince Hotel. Make your reservations now and imagine yourself wearing a fragrant flower lei, sipping a Mai Tai and enjoying a beautiful Hawaiian sunset.

Prepare for another great program with world-renowned speakers. We are honored to have among the guest faculty, the current president of the Aesthetic Society, Jennifer Walden and two past presidents Clyde Ishii and Malcolm Paul. Ernie Manders will present “The Glorious Past and the Bright Future of Plastic Surgery” on Saturday morning. Kiya Movassaghi, will be our ASAPS Visiting Professor and will present several innovative aesthetic surgery topics. There will also be presentations by well-known experts in the fields of rhinoplasty including ethnic rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, and Asian blepharoplasty. Other highlighted lectures will cover breast augmentation, breast reconstruction, female genital rejuvenation, gluteal contouring, cleft lip, and palate repair.

Registration fees also include a very special Polynesian dinner event on Saturday evening at our conference hotel.

Warmest regards,

Aloha!

On behalf of the Board of Trustees and Officers of the Pan-Pacific Surgical Association, we welcome you to our 36th Biennial Pan-Pacific congress’s Hawaii Plastic Surgery Symposium! We have gathered here in a setting that is the best that nature offers – only a few steps from the warm and clear waters of the Pacific Ocean and under the shade of swaying palm trees.

As importantly, we are fortunate to enjoy the knowledge and experience of a most prominent volunteer faculty from around the world and the Pacific Basin including Canada, Japan, and France in 2025. We are also here to renew friendships, make new friends, and exchange our thoughts and get new ideas on how to improve our clinical practices.

Hawaii, and in particular Waikiki Beach, is one of the most precious and inviting playgrounds in the world and we wish you and your entire family a lot of fun and relaxation during your stay in the isles.

Thank you! Mahalo nui loa!
