*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

8 Facial Plastic Times NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2012
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

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.
Robert M. Kellman, MD
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

NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2012 Facial Plastic Times 19
"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,

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.

22 Facial Plastic Times NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2012
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
