ASPS and PSF Presidential Panels Fri, Oct 10 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. CDT

Join us for a pivotal moment in plastic surgery history as, for the first time, the Presidents of ASPS and PSF unite to co-host a forward-looking panel on the future of breast reconstruction. Against the backdrop of declining reimbursement, limited access to reconstructive services in rural and underserved areas, and increasing scope encroachment from non-plastic surgery providers, this session confronts the shifting landscape of our specialty head-on.

Expert panelists will explore the evolving role of plastic surgeons in breast reconstruction—highlighting challenges in maintaining surgical standards, delivering equitable care, and protecting scope amidst mounting economic and systemic pressures. From national advocacy to on-the-ground clinical realities, this session will spark candid dialogue and actionable insights for the road ahead.

This unprecedented leadership collaboration blends visionary strategy with real-world urgency—equipping you with the context, tools, and perspective needed to shape the future of breast reconstruction. Don’t miss this milestone event where leadership meets innovation—and the specialty rises to meet the moment.
