The State of the Cosmetic Surgery Industry is Discussed at AACS 25th
Anniversary Scientific Meeting

CHICAGO, Jan. 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Beginning Thursday, January 15,
2009, cosmetic surgeons from around the world will converge at the American
Academy of Cosmetic Surgery's 25th Anniversary Scientific Meeting to share and
learn the latest developments in cosmetic surgery. "Not A Day Over
Twenty-five" will be held from January 15 - 18, 2009 at the JW Marriott Desert
Ridge Resort and Spa in Phoenix, Arizona.

AACS continues its commitment to excellence, gathering speakers from each
medical discipline to share their research in an effort to advance cosmetic
surgery. Featured speakers include renowned facial plastic surgeon Robert L.
Simons, MD of the United States, dermatologic surgeon Gerhard Sattler, MD from
Germany, dermatologic surgeon Jeffrey Alan Klein, MD of the United States and
plastic surgeon Guillermo Saul Blugerman, MD of Argentina.

In addition, AACS will address the economic impact on the cosmetic surgery
industry. During this global downturn, it is important to recognize how
cosmetic surgeons can better meet the needs of the diversified patients that
we serve in every economic sector. Dana Fox, President of Strategic Edge
Partners, will hold a practice management seminar to help cosmetic surgeons
learn how to address these challenges.

New developments in each topic of cosmetic surgery will be presented including
the growing trend of laser lipolysis, ethnic rhinoplasty techniques, fat
grafting, breast implants and breast reduction.
