*Member of the Executive Committee+ Ex-officio member of the Executive Committee

Let me begin by saying thank you.Thank you to the NominatingCommittee members who have puttheir trust in me to lead this organi-zation for the next year. Thank you to themembers who have endorsed thecommittee's recommendation. Thank you toall who have come before me—thanks,Tom—and who have built and strengthenedthis great Academy that I have the humblinghonor of leading. Thank you to all who haveput and continue to put time and energy

into making the AAFPRS the prestigious and important organizationthat it is today. Thank you to all of you who work so hard and contributeso much to make us successful—and we are and we have been success-ful! I want to emphasize that, because, as we approach our fiftieth year,we need to be cognizant of just how successful we've been, and theimplications that our success could have on our future—but more onthat at the end.

I want to thank the many members and the employees that makeour organization tick—it is all of you that I will have to thank through-out the next year for making me look good—so please,keep up the goodwork! Now I'll take the risk of naming a few people—I apologize in ad-vance to anyone I leave out—please do not be hurt. I must single out mydear friend Robert Simons, MD, who has been a constant source ofencouragement and who worries about this organization more thananyone I know. Many of us share Bobby's sense of commitment anddedication to our specialty and to this Academy, but I don't think thatanyone else can love this Academy the way that Bobby does. Thank you,Bobby. I also have to thank Ted A. Cook, MD, who annoyingly butlovingly continued to prod me to sit for ABFPRS certification, which I didof course, even though I had promised myself that I'd never take anotherexam—and then I did it again for the MOC? And thanks to Daniel E.Rousso, MD, and Lee Smith, MD, who generously gave their time to helpme study.

I spent 10 years on the Board of this organization as a vice presidentand then as secretary; I have worked with many of our leaders andserved under more than 20 percent of our presidents. Do you know whatthe best part of it is? I consider every one of you to be a friend. We didn'talways agree—I guess that's what being on a board is all about—but wealways respected each other's opinions, and, for the most part, wealways listened to each other even when we didn't agree. What greatfriends I've made, guys like Donn R. Chatham, MD, who has to be one ofthe funniest guys in the Academy with an amazingly sarcastic wit;William E. Silver, MD, who has always maintained his sense of humorand sense of loyalty to this organization; Peter A. Adamson, MD, who isone of the most organized and dignified leaders in our group; E. GaylonMcCollough, MD, a towering figure—who, by the way, deserves a specialthanks for putting on a great rhinoplasty course in Birmingham that Iattended more years ago than I care to admit, but back then I took it allin like a sponge, and I still use much of what I learned back then; FredJ. Stucker, MD, who was wearing his naval whites when I first methim—in his own way, a true gentleman—though I'd bet he'd be the firstto contest that; and M. Eugene Tardy, Jr., MD, the consummate gentle-man, like those who followed him, J. Regan Thomas, MD, and Dean M.Toriumi, MD. Of course, Shan R. Baker, MD, has been a mentor in more

ways than he probably realizes—Shan, thank you. And Howard W.Smith, MD, what a special indi-vidual. And the most recentpresidents: Vito C. Quatela, MD;Dr. Chatham; Dr. Rousso; Dr.Sykes; and Dr. Wang, thanks formaking the Academy so strong forme. It will certainly make my job alot easier. I could go on and on,Peter A. Hilger, MD; Ira D. Papel,MD; Wayne F. Larrabee, Jr., MD,so many great friends, so manygreat people, the list is so long.But the point is not to nameindividuals, the point is that thisis what makes this Academy sogreat. It is made up of greatpeople! We have such a richhistory, and our successes havebeen built on the backs andshoulders of people. Thanks to allof you for what you've done andfor what you continue to do.

I also must of course thankmy lovely wife, Jessie Shayevitz-Kellman, MD, for her constantsupport. She doesn't always likeit, particularly the conferencecalls that go on for hours andhours, yet she remains support-ive always—thanks for beingthere, Honey—and of course therest of my family who could notjoin us today. I would also like tothank my partners and to theemployees of my department—each in his or her own way hascontributed to my being heretoday. And so many of us list ourteachers, all of whom have in factbeen important in my develop-ment, but I would be remiss if Ididn't say a word of appreciationfor my residents and fellows whoover the years have taught me somuch as well.

So let's talk about the Acad-emy. I have been here many timesand watched many a presidentaccept the gavel of leadershipfrom his predecessor, just as Ihave done today. Each hasbrought new ideas, most of whichhave been implemented, thoughmany have found their best

intentions thwarted by morepressing and often politicallycharged issues that have arisenduring their terms in office. Irecall the serendipity of Dr. StevePerkins’ presidency coordinatingwith a dear friend of his being aleader in oral and maxillofacialsurgery. Yet his attempts atreconciliation and cross fertiliza-tion between the two groupsseemed destined to failure fromthe start. I was invited to be partof Dr. Sykes' efforts to work withhis friends at ASAPS on the EBMinitiative—so far so good—hats offto you Jon. And I am assumingoffice, as my good friend GregEvans will be taking over the

ASPS presidency in about amonth. Let's see how we do.Interspecialty efforts are impor-tant, and I support them fully,but only on the condition ofmutual respect. How does oneachieve that? By working togetherand developing it in the trenches.This can happen at home bycollaborating on cases andmaking competitors into col-leagues. It can happen nationallyby working together on initiativeslike EBM, safety coalitions, andthe like.

I have a proposal: I propose—and this is a tough one for every-body, in every specialty—that weall work together to make quality

of care a priority over provider ofcare. Let our war be not againstanother specialty but against badresults! Let us laud quality,regardless of who is performingthe work; and let us work to-gether to educate those whoperform poorly (and try to stopthose who are exceeding theirknowledge).

We should also do our best tomend fences with our otolaryngol-ogy colleagues. From a politicalperspective, they are larger thanwe are and have far more clout.They do not have to fight forrecognition of their board. We arehaving some rocky times. Nextyear, for the first time ever—whileI'm president, of course—we willhave our Academy meetingseparately from the AAO-HNSmeeting. They're meeting inVancouver in September, andwe're meeting in New Orleans inOctober. We will need your sup-port there more than ever, soplease plan to attend. William W.Shockley, MD, and Steve Dayan,MD, have promised a stupendousprogram. But to the point, weneed to do our best to encouragetheir leaders to respect andsupport our leaders and ourorganization.

I hope that we can continue toparticipate in COSM. We rejoinedlast year and had a great meet-ing. Fred G. Fedok, MD, andTessa Hadlock, MD, will run ourCOSM meeting this year inOrlando. Please try your best toattend, and send your residents!

What else do I want to do? Iwant to put the “R” back inAAFPRS. What do I mean by that?There is a reason that this orga-nization was named the AmericanAcademy of Facial Plastic andReconstructive Surgery. And it isnot a trivial reason. It has to dowith foundations. We can get socaught up in injectables, that wecan forget that a complete sur-geon has to also know how to do See Putting the “R” Back, page 8

TheJohns HopkinsUniversity's Insti-tutional ReviewBoard (IRB) formal-ly approved plans in late July tobegin performing facial trans-plants. The operation, performeda total of just six times in theUnited States, requires advanceIRB approval of the team ofspecialists and their approach tosecuring donors, selecting pa-tients, providing follow-up care,and other surgical plans.

The Johns Hopkins team, ledby W.P. Andrew Lee, MD, includesChad Gordon, DO; Dr. Byrne; and

From President’s Message, page 3surgery. And we can just aseasily get so caught up in softtissue surgery that we can forgetthat the hard tissue underneathis the foundation. Efforts tocorrect skeletal defects by ad-dressing only the soft tissues,while sometimes successful, canalso sometimes result not only inpoor results, but also worse,potentially uncorrectable results.We need to be educated as com-plete facial plastic and recon-structive surgeons, even if weintend to practice only a narrowportion. That education will teachus our limitations, so we knowwhen to ask for help and whatbest to offer those who come to usfor help.

I have asked Daniel S. Alam,MD, and Jeffrey Spiegel, MD, tolead a task force to try to makethis initiative successful. I askeveryone for their support in thisendeavor. We need to support ourreconstructive colleagues whenthey present at our meetings—even if we don't perform a par-ticular procedure, there is somuch we can learn from theirdepth of knowledge.

And what about the value ofanother “R,” respect. If we wantour friends to be true professionalcolleagues and pay dues andsupport our organization, we haveto make them feel like they have ahome in our organization. How doyou think it makes someone feelwhen they walk up to the podiumand there is a stampede towardthe doors? I have chosen tobelieve that my election repre-sents an endorsement of theseideas. Please help me accomplishthis. It is good for you. It is goodfor your patients. And it is in thebest interests of facial plastic andreconstructive surgery.

Next, I would like to compli-ment our international col-leagues. You are doing great—andyou are expanding at an astound-ing rate. I attended the meeting inRome, and it may have been thebest ever. Congratulations! Please

continue to take the best from themany successes of the AAFPRSand try your best to avoid ourmistakes as you strive and climbthe mountains of achievement infacial plastic and reconstructivesurgery. And remember, yourstrength comes from your mem-bers. Nurture them and encour-age them; make sure theyrepresent you well.

That's really what this is allabout isn't it? Members. Why?Because we are a membershiporganization. Therefore, we are nomore and no less than the peoplethat are our members. Did youknow that 90 percent of thecapital campaign pledges arefrom our members? Keep in mindthat when membership drops, theobligations of the Academy do notdecrease. We are forced to rely onfewer people to fulfill the needs ofthe membership, particularly theeducational needs and the sup-port services, including the staff,the PR, and the ever-loominglegal issues. Obviously, when wehave to rely on fewer members,we ask more of each, which tendsto make those who feel lesscommitted to the organizationreassess their commitment.

I like to think of membershipas a kind of citizenship, and duesas kind of an obligation of thecitizen. The dues support theorganization so that it can fulfillits obligations to its members.However, this is where thingshave the potential to break down.Members have desires andexpectations—and sometimes theneeds of individual memberscannot be met by the organiza-tion. As with any citizen-rungroup, the Academy has to priori-tize its efforts to provide the mostfor the most, which may some-times disappoint individualmembers. Here I would like toquote Bill Cosby, who once said:“I don't know the key to success,but the key to failure is trying toplease everyone.”

But I have always beenenamored with the classic and

time-honored quote from Presi-dent John F. Kennedy, and I'd liketo borrow and bend it a bit for ourAcademy: “Ask not what yourAcademy can do for you, ask whatyou can do for your Academy.”

The most important thing thatthis Academy can do for any of itsmembers is remain strong,powerful, and influential. We maynot be able to respond to theconcerns of each individualmember, but by being strong andrepresenting our specialty, werespond to the needs of all of ourmembers.

Which brings me back to thebeginning, the issue of the nega-tive impact that our many suc-cesses can have on our future.What am I talking about? I amreferring to the fact that we arenow, for the most part, recognizedas facial plastic surgeons. I knowthere are several specialtiesrepresented among our member-ship, but the majority of us beganas otolaryngologists. Today,organized otolaryngology enjoysthe benefit of the success of theAAFPRS. Of course, facial plasticsurgery is now listed as a subspe-cialty in the OTO-HNS boardcertification, but would otolaryn-gology enjoy that recognition hadit not been for the efforts of thisAcademy? I think not. Would ourmembers who have quit—andnow I'm referring to those whocontinue to practice even a littlefacial plastic surgery—would theylikely have been able to do sowithout frequent challenges were

RESPECT

it not for this Academy? I thinknot. So our success gives themthe freedom to benefit from ouraccomplishments without theburden and responsibility ofcitizenship. This is a messagethat we need to transmit to ourfriends and colleagues whobenefit from our existence butchoose not to support us.

If there's one thing I'velearned by being on the board formany years, it is that our right tobe who we are is constantly beingchallenged—despite better rela-tions with some of our competi-tors at the leadership level—andthat we must be continuallyvigilant and strong. We mustcontinue to fight the challenges toour position as they occur, or wewill go backwards.

So the next time an individualmember is disappointed by theAcademy's inability to solve alocal problem, please rememberthat we have to use our resourceswisely and for the greatest good ofthe greatest number of ourmembers. If you find yourself alittle disappointed, realize that weneed your support more thanever. Help more, contribute more,and work harder to convince yourfriends and colleagues to join andsupport us as we continue tomake facial plastic and recon-structive surgery the strongest,smartest, most talented, bestrepresented, and best educatedspecialty it can possibly be.

Craig S. Murakami, MD,of Seattle, recently ledthe fifth FACE TO FACEsurgical mission toCambodia, June 24-30, 2012, aspart of a recurring humanitarianprogram to the region. The teammembers included Kathleen C.Y.Sie, MD, and Richard Wright, MD,of Seattle; Lt. Col. Scott Roofe,MD, of Honolulu; and FrankDuggan, MD, of Washington, D.C.As with past missions, the groupworked closely with Theavy Mok,MD, the local plastic surgeon, atthe Khmer Soviet FriendshipHospital in Phnom Penh.

The mission primarily focusedon microtia reconstruction withboth primary stage and comple-tion of planned second stageprocedures performed on previousmissions. The team also per-formed a number of nasal recon-structive and local proceduressuch as scar revision. The mis-sion was a tremendous successwith approximately 50 clinicpatients evaluated and 25 surgi-cal procedures performed.

Dr. Sie's husband, Thomas S.Hatsukami, MD, and their teen-age daughters, Alyssa and An-drea, assisted the group. "It was alife-changing experience for all ofus to observe and experienceCambodian medicine," Dr. Siesays. "Although we all had differ-ent roles in the mission, we wereequally impressed and inspiredby Theavy Mok. Craig and Theavyhave developed an exemplaryprogram to provide reconstructivesurgery for Cambodians withmicrotia and their commitment tothe patient population andunderstanding of the importanceof the perioperative care arecritical to the success of theprogram."

J. Charlie Finn, MD, ofChapel Hill, N.C., traveled thispast July to Quetzaltenango incentral Guatemala to investigatedeveloping future FACE TO FACEtrips. The trip was a huge suc-cess. He traveled with his nurseand an additional assistant. Theyworked closely with a church-based community clinic that wasset up to handle labor and deliv-ery, but had an adequate OR andmeans to sterilize instruments.They met and became friendswith an exceptional orthopedicsurgeon who was able to workwith them to navigate questionsthat came up while working withtheir hosts.

Local medical students helpedin the OR and organized theclinic. Dr. Finn saw 55 patients inone morning, then did 25 casesover the week including cleft liprevisions, scar revisions, severalmicrotia variations, and even tworhinoplasties with a local anes-thetist. Many patients had to beturned away for lack of anesthe-sia and time. He also gave a well-received lecture to 120 localphysicians at a women's medicalsociety meeting and spent timeteaching the local medical stu-dents.

The next trip has alreadybeen planned for October 19-26,2013. There is need for microtiarepair, as well as cleft palate, lip,and nose repair. M

The Many Faces of Gener-osity capital campaignculminated at the 2012Annual Meeting in Wash-ington, D.C., on September 7, atthe Carnegie Institute for Sci-ence. The evening celebrated thevision of AAFPRS leaders that wasyears in the making by exceedingthe goal to secure $4 million ingifts and pledges to support threekey pillars identified by AAFPRSmembers:O Educational Excellence: TheNew Face of Education for theNext GenerationO Research: Changing Our Cul-ture through Research andEvidence-Based MedicineO Humanitarian Programs:Launching FACE TO FACE to NewHeights

These funds will be used tofinance key projects currentlyunder development by theAAFPRS Foundation.

1) The AAFPRS will implementa world class, Web-based educa-tional portal for members withappropriate corporate interaction.The Academy aims to be at theforefront of online education bydeveloping a portal that willprovide members with access totraining and information as theyneed it, not just when it is avail-able.

The Development Office ofthe AAFPRS Foundationprepares the report ofcontributions made for fiscalyear 2011. Every effort ismade to ensure that theinformation included isaccurate. If any inadvertenterrors or omissions haveoccurred, kindly notify AnnJenne, director ofdevelopment, so that we maycorrect our records


"I never dreamed I would comeaway from an examinationfeeling so pumped about theexperience," confides MitchellKaye, MD, in a conversation after

the ABFPRS Maintenance ofCertification in Facial Plastic andReconstructive Surgery (MOC inFPRS) exam. Dr. Kaye was one of36 ABFPRS diplomates who tookthe Board's recertification examin 2012 and was glad he did. "TheMOC in FPRS experience, for me,was excellent from start to finish.The test was fair in terms of time,content, and breadth. It wasadministered in a highly profes-sional and unbiased manner thatmade me proud to be a partici-pant," Dr. Kaye emphasizes in aletter to the Board after theexamination.

Terry L. Donat, MD, anotherone of the 36 2012 MOC in FPRScandidates, had the same feeling."You know, my certification istime limited and I know I had todo this, and I'm glad it's over," hestates. "But I have to confess—itwas a really good examination."He expressed this to MOC inFPRS examiners during the exitinterviews. "Of course, I'll benervous until the results comeout, but this is what an MOCexamination should be all aboutdemonstrating your knowledgeand experience levels to proveyou're a competent physician. I'dmuch rather participate in anexamination process like this onethat includes an oral componentinstead of sitting down in front ofa computer for a CBT. ABFPRSoral examiners are tops in their

field—they know how to draw outthe best in examinees. Andreally," he adds, "doing this onceevery 10 years isn't a lot to ask."

David W. Stepnick, MD,

another 2012 candidate and anABFPRS Board member, had aslightly different reaction afterthe recertification exam was over."I was nervous," relays Dr.Stepnick. "Even though I teachotolaryngology and plastic sur-gery residents each day at Uni-versity Hospitals of Cleveland, Ihadn't taken a written exam intwo decades and I was a littleconcerned that I was out ofpractice when it came to test-taking. The exam tested exactlywhat it should for those of us whopractice facial plastic surgery," hesays. "But, I was just keeping myfingers crossed and saying a fewprayers until I found out that Ihad passed." Dr. Stepnick wenton to stress, "Taking the recertifi-cation exam really taught me,despite being an ABFPRS exam-iner for a number of years, whylifetime as well as time-limiteddiplomates should complete theABFPRS MOC in FPRS program.Quite simply, I was a really gooddoctor before the program, but I'man even better doctor for havingcompleted it," he concludes.

Applications for the 2013MOC in FPRS cycle are availableonline, www.abfprs.org, andshould be received by January15, 2013. If you have questionsregarding eligibility or completionrequirements, contact LaurieWirth at (703) 549-3223 or by e-mail at [email protected]. M

Attendees of the recentFacial Sculpture forSurgeons class held inNew York, July 12-18,2012, couldn't have been moreenthusiastic about their experi-ence. The following feedback wascollected.

"Plastic surgery and sculptureare the essence of understandingand interpretation of the anatomi-cal form." --Michael J. Sullivan,MD

"Sculpting with appropriatedirections and rules teaches oneto better understand what oneactually sees when observing themost simple things—as it simulta-neously sharpens the hands'ability to translate and the eyes'interpretation of what is actuallythere. In short, plastic surgicaltechnique can be improved whenthe brain can reveal a clearerimage to the aesthetic surgeon ofwhat the eye sees and the handcan create more precisely inplanning and performing surgicalprocedures." --William E. Silver,MD

"The artistic environment, thetotal focus on form, the ongoinghands-on teaching, and the livelyfriendship building, all combinedto make this a special time toremember. And while I thought Iarrived with a solid appreciation ofthe three-dimensional anatomy ofthe face, this very "right brain"discipline helped me to envisionand appreciate froma less scientificand more artisticmanner, the topo-graphic beauty andanatomy of thehead and neck evenbetter. (And themodel was mostexceptional.)"--Donn R. Chatham,MD "The sculptureretreat was anextremely enjoyableplace to spend fivedays of one's life.The artistic instruc-

tion was superb. There was a realfeeling of camaraderie among thestudents. Evenings were spentdining out at excellent restau-rants in this surprisingly charm-ing part of the world just acrossthe Hudson River from Manhat-tan. My skills in sculpture im-proved substantially. And surpris-ingly, when I returned to mypractice, I found myself looking atpatients with an improved aes-thetic sense, as if another veil hadbeen lifted between the truth oftheir anatomy and my ability tofully comprehend it." --Michael S.Godin, MD

"It is very clear that theparadigm of facial aesthetics isnow centered on facial volume andshape, and rightfully so. Theinsight and skills offered bylearning the art of sculpture haspractical application for the facialplastic surgeon." --Timothy R.Miller, MD

All attendees concluded that itwas an unqualified success andwell worth the week off of work toparticipate. The annual collabora-tion between the Academy and theNew York Art Students League willcontinue under the direction ofProfessor Gary Sussman andcourse founder Steven Neal, MD.The course is limited to 10 indi-viduals per year and is scheduledfor October of next year.

CORPORATEDONORS


By Regina Simo, MD, Past President

As the AAFPRS liaison ofthe OFPSA and pastOFPSA president, inSeptember, I sat at theFall Meeting in Washington, D.C.,and could not be more proud ofour organization and how far wehave come. For those that havecome before me, Candy, Lynn,Beth, Carlie, and those after me,Tracy, it is always our goal tomake it better than how we foundit—and Tracy did more than that.The past two years have beenphenomenal. I thank TracyDrumm for her dedication andhard work. I congratulate ourincoming OPFSA president KristiFritz and look forward to seeingus continue our growth.

Even more so, the physiciansupport that we have now is soexciting. As I listened to the panelof past AAFPRS presidents speakat our Fall Meeting—Keith A.LaFarriere, MD, our biggest andlongtime supporter; Steven J.Pearlman, MD; Tom D. Wang, MD;and Ira D. Papel, MD—thank youfor giving us the respect that wehave worked so hard to earn.

I remember the days of ap-pearing in front of the AcademyBoard of Directors at midnight (aswe were last on the agenda) toask for our annual $5,000 forsupport from the Academy. Thisbasically covered our meetingroom and if we were lucky, aspeaker. Today, we gain our ownsponsorships and there is anenormous amount of volunteerwork that goes into raising dollarsthrough local support. With Annand Steve's help, we make surenot to cross boundaries withsponsorships and are still able tosupport our organization throughoutside funding.

The OFPSA has had manydedicated leaders over the pastyear and physicians’ support thathas brought us where we aretoday. Thank you Ann Jenne,Rita Chua Magness, Steve Duffy,and the rest of the staff, for giving

us the support that we needto continue.

I am proud to be a part ofthis organization and can'twait to see where we go fromhere. If you are not sending astaff member to the meeting andyou don't' know about us—contact me or any individualmentioned above. We are happy toeducate you. Kristi, we wish youthe best of luck in your journeywith this organization. Know thatall of us will be with you everystep of the way.

You may contact me at any-time at [email protected].

Moving Forward

By Kristi Fritz, President

Let me start off by saying, Thankyou Regina!

As the new president of theOFPSA, I would like to express myappreciation to the members ofthis organization for electing me. Iam truly looking forward to thisincredible journey. I also have tothank Tracy Drumm for herability to pave the way for me; sheis a true trailblazer! Tracy hasdone an amazing job over thepast two years as president, and Ihave some very big shoes to fill!

I think I speak for everymember of this organization,when I say that our greatestappreciation goes out to thesurgeons and members of theAAFPRS. Each year we are luckyenough to attend the Fall Meet-ing, and return home with awealth of knowledge to share withour co-workers. Year after year,our rate of new attendees grows,and we can only thank thedoctors for their support inmaking that feasible. I personallywant to express gratitude to Dr.Papel and Theda C. Kontis, MD.They have made it possible for meto attend the Fall Meeting formany years. I genuinely believethat I am an improved profes-

sional due to the knowledge Ihave attained through theOFPSA.

Dr. LaFarriere mentioned onthe panel that the OFPSA meet-ings were once perceived as atreat or a reward for the staff toattend, but now have becomemandatory for everyone. I can'tagree more, and that commentonly attests to how important thisorganization and our meetingshave become.

As our team of officers planfor the 2013 meeting, I thinkabout how each president has lefttheir personal mark on theorganization and the industry. Ipledge that the mark I leave willbe considerate of what my peersare expecting of me. I will attemptto influence members as much asmy predecessors have achievedfor me. I encourage any sugges-tions or ideas from members, asthat is what the organization isall about…continuous support. Iam looking forward to an excep-tional year!

Please contact me by e-mailme if you have any questionsabout the OFPSA program;[email protected]. M
