Aesthetic Society Names New President

The Aesthetic Society announced the appointment of Kiya Movassaghi, MD, DMD, FACS, a board-certified plastic surgeon from Eugene, Oregon, as its president, saying his leadership will focus on strategically fortifying The Society's position as the global leader in education and innovation in the aesthetic marketplace.

"I am honored to assume the presidency of The Aesthetic Society," Dr. Movassaghi said in a press release. "Our journey ahead can be characterized by collaboration, innovation, and global partnership. Aesthetic medicine is experiencing rapid global expansion. Global outreach through Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) will be instrumental in shaping our engagement and alliances among our international colleagues. These agreements will pave the way for fostering relationships essential to our shared mission of safety and enhancing patient outcomes."

Dr. Movassaghi plans to continue to nurture The Society's robust relationships among the core specialties such as facial plastics, dermatologic surgery, and oculoplastic surgery; fostering connections with non-plastic surgeons, including injectors via the newly introduced AlliedPro— an exclusive membership program dedicated to training and enriching nonsurgical medical aesthetic professionals all with the goal of improving patient safety.
