Competing Specialties Join to Inform Public





For the first time in recent history, three typically competitive specialty organizations: the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), and the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Suurgery (ASOPRS) have joined forces to form the Physicians Coalition for Injectible Safety.

One of the first priorities of the Coalition is to educate the public and promote consumer safety and bring light on the burgeoning and dangerous industry of off-shore cosmetic injectables.

The Coalition has launched an aggressive multi-prong campaign to enlighten the consumer, physician, and media:
-admonitory advertisements are being placed in popular and trendy fashion magazines (see sample advertisement).
-the Coalition intends to interact and communicated directly to the public via a new blog site: realself.com
-enhanced media relations providing updates and data from professional surveys with an emphasis on Doctor Brand Safety is in the works
-an informational website has been launched called injectablesafety.org providing surfers with comprehensive and unbiased information on cosmetic injectables


Dr. Placik is an active member and proud to support the initiatives of the Physicians Coalition for Injectable Safety through the ASAPS. If you would like to learn more about how brand name injectables administered by a board certified plastic surgeon can benefit you, please call or email Otto J. Placik, M.D. serving patients in Chicago and the surrounding areas of Northwest Indiana and Wisconsin.
