ISAPS POSTGRADUATE COURSE

Light of beauty over Parthenon

  •  Dear friends and colleagues,

    It gives us immense pleasure to invite you all to the ISAPS Course 2012 of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. This course is being hosted by the Hellenic Society of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery -HESPRAS (www.hespras.gr) in the capital of Greece and the cradle of Democracy, Athens, at Electra Palace Hotel, located in the Old City of Athens, the renowned Plaka, at a walking distance from the Parthenon and the Ancient monuments of Athens, from the 1st to the 3rd of November 2012. A galaxy of international and national experts will share their knowledge and wisdom in the field of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

    For the information of those who are not familiar with the organization, these courses are organized in different countries under the direct supervision of the ISAPS Education Council. The course has been approved for Greece after a long gap of 14 years.

    Athens is a popular and worldwide preferred destination. For centuries Athens has been a major attraction due to its long and important history, but also due to its impact on the modern world. The ancient buildings, the old neighborhoods and the cosmopolitan aspect of Athens allow for countless combinations and promise a variety of experiences, images, flavors, markets, actions, destinations…

    The venue of the conference Electra Palace Hotel (5*) was named after Electra, the character of ancient Greek theatre and literature who became a symbol for her love to her father. Electra Palace Hotel was recently expanded, refurbished and fully renovated to reflect the high-class and subtle aesthetics of the old aristocratic neighborhood, which makes it to stand out among other hotels in Athens ( www.electrahotels.gr ).

    We are inviting very prominent ISAPS professors for this course and we promise to put together a scientific extravaganza which will be remembered by future generations of Plastic Surgeons.

    The weather in November is mostly pleasant and Athens is a very busy tourist destination. For this reason we advice you to book your accommodation well in advance. A number of social programs and sightseeing events are being arranged for accompanying persons. We extend this invitation to all of you on behalf of the Organizing Committee to participate in this academic feast and we hope to welcome you and have together a pleasant experience and stay in Athens.
