About This Show
AI-drafted summaryFSPS at The Breakers is the flagship annual meeting of the Florida Society of Plastic Surgeons (FSPS), a scientific forum bringing together board-certified plastic surgeons, residents, and industry partners for continuing education in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. Held at the historic Breakers resort in Palm Beach, the event pairs a high-caliber academic program with networking in one of Florida's most iconic oceanfront settings.
The meeting is organized by FSPS, which, established in 1956, has served as the professional home and public advocate for board-certified plastic surgeons in Florida for nearly 70 years. Its flagship educational events bring together experts and innovators from across the country to share the latest advances in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery.
Attendees include practicing plastic surgeons, plastic surgery residents, and corporate exhibitors serving the specialty. The program features special guest lectures from national leaders, a resident abstract competition, the Edward S. Truppman Honorary Lecture, and optional social activities such as a golf outing and Saturday evening dinner — making it worthwhile for both clinical education and professional connection.
