EAFPS - The European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery

The European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery (formerly known as The Joseph Society and as the European Academy of Facial Surgery) was founded in 1977.

The European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery is a body of facial plastic surgery enthusiasts and facilitates credentialing via fellowships and access to the European Board exams. Its purposes are to create a body of duly qualified surgeons who have had training and experience in plastic and/or reconstructive surgery of the face and neck. Its objectives are to stimulate study, research and scientific advancement in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery between all the specialties that have common interests. These specialties typically being oto-rhino-laryngology, maxillo-facial surgery, ophthalmology and general plastic surgery. The Academy is mainly for surgeons in Europe, although it does have some interested members from outside Europe. The official language of the Academy is English. The Academy has been involved in the European Community in identifying facial plastic surgery as an entity and is active in promoting appropriate training schemes for trainees in the subspecialty of facial plastic surgery. There is a Postgraduate Fellowship Programme and as member of the International Federation of Facial Plastic Surgery Societies (IFFPSS), we have a common certification process, based on and equal to the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS) examination and rules for certification. Membership of the Academy is open to National Board registered surgeons specialized in the area of head, neck and cranio-facial surgery and to Registrars/Residents in training that have served 2 years in their specialist training post. Applications need to be seconded by two Members of the Academy. The executive board decides whether the application for membership is accepted, and approval of the national delegates can be sought. Reduced membership fees are available for “Affiliated Members” (members from Eastern Europe and residents in training) and “Senior Members” (retired Members). Subscriptions to Facial Plastic Surgery and/or Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery are offered at special rates for all members of the EAFPS.

Face Lift surgeries have undergone significant changes in the last 20 years; now, natural and long-lasting results are achieved.📌

Modern facelift techniques no longer apply significant tension to the lifted skin. The skin is not excessively stretched; sub-SMAS and deep plane techniques correct sagging, lines, and fullness under the chin in the face and neck.🙌🏻

Neck liposuction redefines the transition between the face and neck, preventing an uneven appearance. Because incisions are planned to run through the ear canal, scars are largely concealed.✨

Dr. Michal Krawczynski, shares key insights into one of the most critical steps of Functional Aspect of Rhinoplasty, relies on reshaping the nasal skeleton.🗣️

Rhinoplasty is not only about changing the shape of the nose, but also about preserving and improving respiratory function.👃🏻

The nasal septum is the column of the external nose and the foundation of its function. Deviations in the septum can lead to breathing problems and must be carefully addressed during surgery.

There are many things to focus on because the rhinoplasty procedure is quite complex, but our main goal is the happiness of our patients.🙏🏻

Rhinoplasty (nose surgery) is performed to harmonize the appearance of the nose with the face and to correct problems that make breathing difficult.👃🏻

Often, both aesthetic and functional improvements are addressed in a single surgical procedure.🙌🏻

Rhinoplasty may be chosen due to structural problems such as nasal fractures, curvature, humps, or depressions. Aesthetic concerns such as nasal length and nasal tip shape can also lead to surgery. In some cases, it is also performed to correct previous cleft lip/palate surgeries.

Every patient’s nose is distinct, so the treatment plan is determined individually, taking into account both medical needs and aesthetic preferences.✨

Mentoplasty (chin surgery) is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the chin in order to improve facial harmony and profile balance.🙌🏻

In cases of a recessed or prominent chin, mentoplasty helps enhance the definition of the jawline and restore overall facial proportion. Depending on the individual’s anatomy and aesthetic needs, the procedure may be performed using a chin implant, sliding genioplasty, or bone reshaping techniques.💉

The goal is to achieve a natural, balanced, and harmonious appearance while preserving the unique characteristics of each face.

Every face is unique. The most appropriate treatment plan is determined through a detailed consultation and personalized evaluation.✅
