The ISAPS World Congress is one of the key international platforms for plastic surgeons working in the field of aesthetic surgery. The 2026 scientific program is built around the exchange of clinical experience, modern surgical techniques, patient safety, and professional education, with the participation of specialists from different countries.
The program covers face and neck surgery, rhinoplasty, the periorbital area, breast and body procedures, reconstructive approaches, as well as minimally invasive and non-surgical techniques. Separate thematic blocks are dedicated to regenerative medicine, injectable procedures, patient safety, medical tourism, practice management, and the use of AI in professional practice.
Scientific Program and Practical Exchange
The organizers announce more than 200 invited experts who will lead keynote lectures, masterclasses, and special thematic panels and debates. More than 500 additional speakers will be selected through peer review to present scientific papers in various sections of the congress. In total, the program includes more than 800 presentations featuring specialists from 72 countries.
A separate day is allocated to the Pre-Congress program and the Residents’ Symposium. This gives young plastic surgeons and doctors undergoing specialized training the opportunity to engage with the international professional community even before the start of the main program.
The program also includes award lectures, scientific paper presentations, and special sessions devoted to clinical decision-making and controversial issues in aesthetic plastic surgery. The professional exhibition complements the congress with presentations of medical technologies, equipment, and solutions for surgical practice.
Who Will Benefit from the Congress
- plastic and aesthetic surgeons;
- doctors specializing in face and body surgery;
- specialists in rhinoplasty and facial aesthetics;
- doctors working with minimally invasive and non-surgical techniques;
- residents and young plastic surgeons;
- researchers and authors of scientific papers;
- managers of plastic surgery clinics;
- specialists for whom international patient safety standards are important.
Due to the scale of the program, participants should identify their priority sections, masterclasses, and thematic panels in advance: some scientific formats will run in parallel, and certain activities may have their own participation requirements.
