While organizations exist for Plastic Surgery and Cosmetic Surgery, they are generally viewed as from a Surgeon’s perspective. Similarly, Aesthetic Medicine Societies view beauty from a nonsurgical approach.
The Evolution of Beauty
The AIMS Society was not so much created as it resulted from the natural consequence of the desire to allow the evolution of beauty in Medicine and Surgery.
