Georgia Society of Plastic Surgeons

The Georgia Society of Plastic Surgeons was founded in 1971. At that time, there were 20 plastic surgeons practicing in the state of Georgia, most of whom were practicing in the greater Atlanta area. Many were friends, but practiced in different hospitals, and rarely saw each other professionally. There were a few partnerships, but most practiced as individuals. The plastic surgery community enlarged and became more complex with the development of the Emory program in 1971. Discussions developed among several Atlanta plastic surgeons to develop an organization that would provide a common ground for the exchange of scientific ideas and the discussion of socioeconomic problems.

The Society has made a number of changes since it's inception, and has grown along with the growth of Georgia and Atlanta. We have seen many of our members advance to local and national leadership positions in plastic surgery as well as other medical and civil areas. Throughout its existence, the Society has served many worthwhile purposes. It has provided that common ground for plastic surgeons across the state to meet and better know each other. The exchange of information among colleagues, friendly competitors, young and old, experienced and inexperienced has led to a higher level of the practice of plastic surgery across the state.
