Allergan Pledges Support as Sapphire Sponsor of Plastic Surgery The Meeting
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL – The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) is proud to announce Allergan as a Sapphire sponsor of the 87th annual scientific conference, Plastic Surgery The Meeting.
Bringing together the best and brightest surgeons in the specialty, Plastic Surgery The Meeting, hosted in Chicago from Sept. 28 through Oct. 1, is a platform for the world's largest gathering of plastic and reconstructive surgeons to share their expertise with colleagues from nearly 50 nations. It is the leading educational event of the year for plastic surgeons in the United States and around the globe.
"Allergan's commitment to innovation, quality and safety compliments the Society's efforts to enhance patient safety and surgical outcomes," said Jeffrey Janis, MD, president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Therefore, Allergan has built an unmatched portfolio to support them in both settings, from facial injectables and body contouring all the way to breast implants and regenerative medicine solutions," said Carrie Strom, senior vice president, US Medical Aesthetics at Allergan.
