Dear Colleagues,

It is an honor and a privilege to invite you to Istanbul for the next ISAPS Postgraduate Course on 19-22 June 2009. This important scientific event is jointly organized by ISAPS and the Turkish Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. We would like to thank Foad Nahai, President of ISAPS, for his support.

The Course immediately follows the ASAPS Mediterranean Cruise. For more information, go to www.surgery.org/cruise2009. The Turkish Society invites you to attend their annual meeting, immediately following the ISAPS Course.

The Scientific Commitee has planned a comprehensive schedule to educate us on the new and most exciting aspects of aesthetic plastic surgery. The first day of the meeting is reserved for non-invasive surgery workshops. On the second day, live surgery demonstrations and video presentations will be performed. On the third and fourth days, world renowned experts will share their experience with us as panelists and invited lecturers.  While our main focus will be rhinoplasty, facial rejuvenation, breast surgery and body contouring, scientific lectures will also include all aspects of aesthetic surgery.

Istanbul is a unique city, full of history and culture embracing two continents.  June is the nicest time of the year to visit.  Social activities during the meeting will provide an opportunity for you to enjoy the atmosphere of Istanbul.  The Turkish Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons will welcome you and make every effort to insure that your stay is pleasant, safe and comfortable.

We look forward to seeing you in Istanbul. We are sure that this meeting will be a most memorable event both scientifically and socially.
