Patient Safety Award
Recognizing today’s leaders in patient safety.
The Patient Safety Award is a newly added award that recognizes an Aesthetic Society member who has made a meaningful contribution to improving the safety of aesthetic plastic surgery and medicine through research, innovation, process engineering, or operational excellence.
This award is possible thanks to the generosity of Mark Jewell, MD, and Mary Jewell, RPT.

Award Review and Selection Process:
The jury will review and score each nomination and assess the nominee’s efforts to minimize risk and improve the quality and safety of aesthetic plastic surgery using a scale of 1–5.
