Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Plastic surgery training has evolved, with more dedicated cosmetic rotations. However, residents still lack confidence in facial and body contouring procedures, especially independent trainees.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Plastic Surgery Training
  • Aesthetic Surgery

Background:

  • Plastic surgery programs have evolved over the last decade.
  • Training includes increased aesthetic case requirements and integrated positions.
  • Changes aim to enhance aesthetic surgical training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of recent changes on aesthetic surgical training.
  • To assess resident and program director perceptions of training.
  • To determine changes in comfort levels with cosmetic procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Surveys distributed to plastic surgery residents and program directors nationwide.
  • Surveys assessed training duration and comfort with cosmetic procedures.
  • Data analyzed to identify trends in aesthetic surgical education.

Main Results:

  • Increased dedicated cosmetic surgery rotations (94% vs. 68% in 2015).
  • Fewer residents require an aesthetic surgery fellowship (20% vs. 31% in 2015).
  • Integrated residents show higher comfort; senior residents lack confidence in facial/body contouring.

Conclusions:

  • Dedicated cosmetic rotations have increased, reducing perceived need for fellowships.
  • Resident confidence in performing facial aesthetic and body contouring remains low.
  • Independent residents report lower comfort levels with advanced aesthetic procedures.
