On behalf of the Bombay Hospital Institute of Medical Sciences, I welcome you all once again for the 3 rd International Tutorials in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Like each year, this year too, the program is set to fulfill the needs of the eager and enthusiastic plastic surgeons wanting to further their skills in aesthetic surgery.

Aesthetic Plastic Surgery has become an integral if not one of the most important facets of plastic surgery in today's World. It has become a lifestyle demand, which no plastic surgeon can ignore and therefore to become adept in newer technologies this field is mandatory.

These tutorials, right from their conception have remained unique in catering both to the learning demands of the budding plastic surgeon as well as in updating the knowledge and skills of the veteran.

It, therefore makes me feel proud to extend our infrastructure in furthering this cause. Besides academics, Mumbai has a lot to offer. With its cosmopolitan atmosphere and colorful and diverse cultural trends, you will find you stay and experience in this city a truly memorable one.
