Area of Science:

  • Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • The field of plastic surgery is expanding, yet aesthetic surgery training faces challenges.
  • Key barriers include lack of dedicated chief resident aesthetic clinics, limited case numbers, and insufficient faculty engagement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify effective methods for teaching aesthetic surgery within plastic surgery residency programs.
  • To evaluate residents' experiences and perceived needs in aesthetic surgery training.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was distributed to recent graduates of 19 western United States-based plastic surgery programs.
  • 31 out of 40 distributed surveys were returned and analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Over half of surveyed programs lacked a chief resident aesthetic clinic (51.6%).
  • More than half of residents (51.6%) reported insufficient aesthetic case volume.
  • Residents expressed a strong need for increased "hands-on" experience, faculty involvement, and dedicated clinic time.

Conclusions:

  • There is a significant need for structured aesthetic surgery training, particularly through chief resident aesthetic clinics.
  • Enhanced faculty participation and increased patient volume in clinics are essential for comprehensive surgical education.
  • A 6-month chief resident aesthetic surgery clinic rotation demonstrated significant benefits in training all aspects of aesthetic patient care.
