One of our goals as the Foundation is to fund research and education to elevate awareness within the cosmetic surgery community and the public at large. To support this goal, the Foundation supports the Annual Scientific Meeting Scientific Poster Awards. The judging criteria used for the scientific posters are originality and educational value of the topic; presentation and poster content; research methods and result reporting; and conclusions.
There were 20 posters submitted at the 2025 Annual Scientific Meeting. The 2025 Scientific Poster Award judges were Roxana Barad, MD, FAACS; Kamran Dastoury, MD, and Dr. Amaya Prasad, MD, FAACS. They rated the submissions on originality and the educational value of the topic, presentation, research methods and results reporting, and conclusions.
