As the research and philanthropic arm of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, The Plastic Surgery Foundation's mission is to improve the quality of life of patients through research and development. PSF accomplishes its mission by supporting research through a variety of grant programs and facilitating PSF initiated studies. Donations to the PSF also support surgeons who volunteer abroad to help the impoverished and foster international outreach through and Volunteers in Plastic Surgery.
Both plastic surgeons and members of the public can support research through donations to the Endowment and the PSF.
