Where Innovation Meets Surgical Mastery, ESPRS 2026 Sets a New Standard

In a specialty where precision defines reputation and innovation shapes outcomes, ESPRS Conference 2026 stood as a landmark scientific gathering for plastic and reconstructive surgery in the MEA region. The 56th Annual Conference of the Egyptian Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons brought together leading minds, global faculty, and rising talents under one powerful theme, Advancing Excellence in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

A Regional Hub with Global Scientific Weight

 Held from 03 to 06 February 2026, ESPRS welcomed 490 physical attendees and 43 virtual participants, gathering more than 530 plastic surgeons, professors, and physicians in one dynamic hybrid platform.

The conference hosted 22 international experts physically present, representing leading institutions across Europe, North America, Latin America, and the Middle East. This strong international presence reinforced ESPRS as an international & regional gateway for global surgical standards.

A defining highlight of this year’s edition was the 10th Anniversary ICOPLAST Symposium, held in collaboration with the International Confederation of Plastic Surgery Societies (ICOPLAST), focusing on modern concepts in aesthetic facial, breast, and body contouring surgery

Further elevating its academic credibility, ESPRS 2026 was accredited by the American Association of Continuing Medical Education (AACME) for 28.50 CME credit hours, confirming its compliance with international continuing medical education standards

A Comprehensive, Practice-Oriented Scientific Program

 The scientific agenda reflected the full spectrum of plastic surgery practice, combining evidence-based medicine with hands-on clinical relevance.

Key program pillars included:

• Aesthetic Facial Surgery and Deep Plane Facelift evolution
• Advanced Breast Surgery and Implant Safety debates
• Body Contouring innovations including TULUA techniques and HD liposculpture
• Reconstructive Microsurgery and 3D-guided free flaps
• Pediatric Plastic Surgery and complex cleft management
• Rhinoplasty master debates connecting 25 years of evolving concepts
• Regenerative and fat-based therapies including nanofat and exosomes
• Burn reconstruction and wound management advancements
• Safety-first keynote lectures addressing complication prevention and outcome optimization

The inclusion of Master Classes, Expert Video Presentations, Debate Sessions, Rising Stars E-posters, and a dedicated Local Anesthesia Workshop demonstrated ESPRS’s commitment to surgical craftsmanship, structured learning, and real-world clinical application

Leadership Perspective

 Prof. Amr Magdy, ESPRS Conference President, stated:

“ESPRS 2026 reflects our responsibility toward advancing plastic surgery education in Egypt and the region. Through global collaboration, structured debates, and practical master classes, we are building a future where safety, innovation, and surgical excellence go hand in hand”.

His leadership, alongside the scientific and organizing committees, ensured that the conference delivered not only academic knowledge but actionable expertise for daily surgical practice.
