The 3rd International AAPRAS Congress on `Unfavorable Results and
Complications in Plastic Surgery' was successfully launched from the
28th to the 30th of June 2011 in Yerevan Armenia, attended by some of
the most renowned plastic surgeons in the world.
The working sessions of the congress, opened on June 28 with welcome
speeches of the Deputy Minister of Health of Armenia Mr. H. Kushkyan,
of the Rector of Yerevan State Medical University, Mr. Dumanian D., of
the IPRAS President Prof. Marita Eisenmann-Klein (Germany) and of the
ESPRAS President, Prof. Yiacoumettis Andreas (Greece).
After the opening ceremony, a press conference was held, covered by
popular Armenian Media and attended by numerous journalists. During
the press conference, important data like how to identify dangerous
skin tumors and techniques of breast reconstruction and augmentation
with implants or the patient`s own fat were presented. The outstanding
quality of plastic surgery in Armenia was underlined. Furthermore, an
introduction to the aims and scopes of IPRAS was made, stating that
the International Confederation intends to inform the public about
plastic surgery, highlighting also the IPRAS humanitarian missions.
During the last day of the congress, an innovative event was launched:
the Armenian Public Day on Plastic Surgery. The Public Day is an IPRAS
initiative, established on the purpose of inaugurating a dialogue
forum with the Public. For almost two hours, top plastic surgeons
informed and alerted on important issues such as breast reconstruction
with fat or implants-a subject of special interest to women patients
who lost their breast because of cancer or who suffer from breast
asymmetries or deformities, skin tumours, safety of the liposuction
procedure, etc. After their presentations, the plastic surgeons
received questions by the public and a vivid dialogue took place.
The congress was organized by the Armenian Association of Plastic
Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons, co-organized by the Yerevan
State Medical University and held under the auspices of IPRAS (the
International Confederation for Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic
Surgery), ESPRAS (the European Society for Plastic, Reconstructive and
