Argentine Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery

The Argentine Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (Sociedad Argentina de Cirugía Plástica, Estética y Reparadora, SACPER) is the national professional association representing plastic surgeons in Argentina. It operates as a membership body that sets and promotes standards for the specialty, offers continuing medical education, and provides the public with a directory for finding qualified plastic surgeons. Its official website presents SACPER as a trusted reference point for patients: choosing a surgeon who is a SACPER member is presented as assurance that the surgeon is qualified to perform the procedure. SACPER's activities centre on education, scientific publication and public health outreach. It publishes the Revista Argentina de Cirugía Plástica (Argentine Journal of Plastic Surgery), described as carrying updated and relevant scientific articles in the specialty and serving as a channel for knowledge dissemination and continuing medical education. It also runs an annual refresher course in plastic surgery and a higher training course in plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. A national reference and counter-reference commission for the treatment of cleft lip and palate (FLAP) is hosted by the society, addressing what it describes as the most frequent congenital malformation among facial clefts. A statistics commission publishes survey results, such as the 2023 survey results. The society convenes a major national congress. Its 55th Argentine Congress of Plastic Surgery is announced for 21, 22 and 23 October 2026 at the City Center Rosario Convention Centre in Rosario, Santa Fe Province, Argentina. SACPER also maintains a virtual art gallery and invites eligible professionals to become members. The society's public-facing tools include a professional search engine that lets patients find plastic surgeons who are SACPER members. As a professional society rather than a commercial manufacturer, SACPER's 'offerings' are membership, certification-linked credibility, scientific meetings, publications and educational programmes. Its brand value rests on the trust patients place in the SACPER name when selecting a surgeon, and on its role as the organised voice of Argentine plastic surgery.

The Argentine Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (Sociedad Argentina de Cirugía Plástica, Estética y Reparadora, SACPER) is the national professional society for plastic surgery in Argentina. Its official website presents the society as the organised body through which Argentine plastic surgeons associate, publish, teach and convene. The society's Spanish name places reconstructive and aesthetic surgery alongside plastic surgery, reflecting the breadth of the specialty it represents. SACPER's public identity is built around several recurring activities. It publishes the Revista Argentina de Cirugía Plástica, described on its site as carrying updated and relevant scientific articles in the specialty and as a means of disseminating knowledge and continuing medical education. It organises an annual refresher course in plastic surgery and a higher training course in plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. It hosts a national reference and counter-reference commission for the treatment of cleft lip and alveolopalatal cleft (FLAP), which it describes as the most frequent congenital malformation among facial clefts. A statistics commission publishes survey results, including 2023 survey results. The society also serves patients directly through a professional search engine, the Buscador de Profesionales, which allows the public to find plastic surgeons who are SACPER members. The site states that choosing a SACPER-member plastic surgeon provides assurance that the surgeon is qualified to perform the procedure. This patient-facing function positions SACPER as a credentialing and trust brand within Argentine plastic surgery. SACPER convenes a national congress. Its 55th Argentine Congress of Plastic Surgery is scheduled for 21, 22 and 23 October 2026 at the City Center Rosario Convention Centre in Rosario, Santa Fe Province, Argentina. The society also maintains a virtual art gallery and invites eligible professionals to become members.
