IAAPS President Vision Statement

Dr. James Roy Kanjoor (MS.,FRCS.,MCh)

President – Indian Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (2024-2025)

Dear Friends at the outset of my term as the President of the Prestigious IAAPS, I extend a heartfelt thanks to all of you for honoring me with the responsibility of the presidency.

Aesthetic Surgery is expanding in all spheres all over the world.

In India, the search for new developments in Aesthetic science by young dynamic aesthetic surgeons is very clear and loud.

Proper training and knowledge should lead to this expanding specialty such that aesthetic practice is safe and consistent. The specialty should not suffer a bad reputation because of a lack of knowledge and training.

Safety in the practice of aesthetic surgery and nonsurgical procedures is the primary goal in training.

I plan to work with the theme of Research, Regenerate, and Rejuvenate.

Our specialty should expand especially in Aesthetic Genital Plastic Surgery and Transgender surgeries where an Aesthetic Plastic Surgeon Should be the team leader.

We will try to reach out to the government to make GST in Aesthetic Surgery acceptable to everyone.

I am privileged and pleased to welcome you to the upcoming academic fiesta AESURG2025 scheduled from 5th to 9th March 2025 at Ooty.
