Introducing the International Confederation of Plastic Surgery Societies: ICOPLAST.

This paper describes the formation of the International Confederation of Plastic Surgery, ICOPLAST, as a novel, transparent, dynamic, and pro-active confederation of national plastic surgery societies. ICOPLAST aspires to provide a voice for the entire international community of plastic surgeons. ICOPLAST has been designed to benefit the patient, plastic surgery as a profession and each individual plastic surgeon. Its principal objective is to enhance international communication, education, and advocacy processes to ultimately improve patient outcomes for plastic surgery patients globally. The new ICOPLAST's focus is to add true value to our patients. ICOPLAST's evolution, philosophy, governance and bylaws are explained and all societies worldwide are encouraged and cordially invited to join. An open and warm invitation is provided.
