    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
    Aesthetic Surgery) and ISAPS (the International Society of Aesthetic
    Plastic Surgery).
