This year, the third International Congress of the Armenian Association
of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons was held in Yerevan,
Armenia where some of the best doctors in the world have been invited
so speak. The topic this year is Unfavorable Results and Complication
in Plastic Surgery. The International Confederation for Plastic
Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery (IPRAS) is a vital humanitarian
organization that helps promote the advancement of plastic surgery
by enhancing education and research so that the profession itself is
kept modern and safe. AAPRAS is a part of this organization and it
has been connecting Armenian doctors for many years.
Dr. Armen Hovanessian, a plastic surgeon from Armenia, believes
that the rise of and advancements in plastic surgery in Armenia is a
big accomplishment. There are 100 countries and over 40,000 plastic
surgeons involved in this organization. Dr. Kaplangis believes that
one of the most important aspects about this group, is that is makes
international laws and practices very clear to surgeons. AAPRAS strives
to make their work humanitarian for all, especially for those who
are still suffering from the effects of the 1988 earthquake in Armenia.
The general secretary of IPRAS, Marita Eisenmann-Klein, was also
invited to speak at Yerevan's conference. Dr. Eisenmann-Klein's topic
was about using fat from the body to help reconstruct deformed breasts
in women. Breast deformation has always been a common issue that many
women face, and Dr. Eisenmann-Klein believes that reconstructive and
aesthetic surgery together can help fix the problem for women. The
advancement of stem cell research has been able to play a large role
in this field. The surgeries often involve taking the fat from the
inner thigh or hips and using it to shape the breast.
The conference proved to be very educational as well as interesting.
As a population, it is important for the Armenian people to be well
informed about advancements in the medical field. Attending conferences
such as this can help raise the awareness of medical issues that need
to be addressed.
