It is with great pleasure and honor that I announce the Third Annual International Tutorial in Plastic Surgery, to be held on 10-13 January, 2008, at the Bombay Hospital Institute of Medical Sciences, Mumbai.

Dr. Ashok Gupta, assisted by Dr. Satish Arolkar and Dr. Neeta Patel have ably created a faculty of outstanding master clinicians from Europe, South America, The United States, and the Middle East, and combined it with skills and expertise of Indian Plastic Surgeons to be able to present to you the most current thinking in all aspects of aesthetic surgery. Masters’ Classes, Key Note Lectures by members of the Senior Faculty, panel discussions relative to those speeches, practical technical lectures and discussions, and live surgery followed by probing how I do it and round table discussions will be part of the Tutorial's menu. Other components will include video presentations of faculty members' techniques and small, personal discussion groups with faculty participation.

The Tutorial has grown and evolved into a thorough and solid compilation of the current and ongoing thoughts involving twenty-first century plastic surgery. This growth and evolution is in keeping with India's dynamic march onto the world stage in all avenues of progressive civilization.

Dr. Gupta, his associates, and the entire faculty are proud to announce the Tutorial's schedule and are happy to invite plastic surgeons interested in aesthetic surgery from India, and all the world, to put the date, 10-13 January, 2008, on their calendars and make plans to come to Mumbai.

Dr. Thomas M. Biggs
