In 1994, a group of renowned plastic surgeons recognized the need to provide an educational forum for the emerging specialty of plastic surgical skin care. The SPSSCS was created from this vision and now serves as the professional organization to promote and educate plastic surgical skin care professionals worldwide.

The SPSSCS has earned a reputation for excellence and innovation in education. It is uniquely positioned by its affiliation with plastic surgery. Its endorsement by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) and its official recognition as a "related organization" by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) further confirm our standing and commitment to excellence in plastic surgical skin care.
