On behalf of the New Zealand Association of Plastic Surgeons we warmly invite you to experience the breathtaking beauty of Queenstown, New Zealand for the 2025 Annual Scientific Meeting, set for 22–23 August 2025 at QT/Rydges. This year, the Meeting will focus on advancing aesthetic surgery with a special emphasis on Breast, Body & Face.
We are excited to welcome two internationally renowned speakers: Dr. Jim Grotting, past president of The Aesthetic Society, past chair of the American board of Plastic Surgery and esteemed author of Re-operative Aesthetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery, along with Dr. Dirk Richter from Germany, past president of ISAPS and co- author of Body Contouring and Liposuction. Both will share their invaluable expertise, covering key developments in aesthetic surgery. They both also share a passion for sailing and skiing.
Beyond the conference, Queenstown offers a world-class setting that includes spectacular landscapes, skiing, and a vibrant atmosphere—an ideal location to combine your professional growth with relaxation. This promises to be an unmissable event for both New Zealand and Australian plastic surgeons looking to stay at the forefront of aesthetic surgery.
We look forward to seeing you there!
