Will breast implants become obsolete? Will stem cell therapies soon play a major role in how breasts are reconstructed after mastectomy, how wounds and wrinkles are treated and how we age? These are just a few of the topics that will be discussed at the Technology Innovation in Plastic Surgery (TIPS) conference, June 17-19, in San Francisco. TIPS is hosted by the Plastic Surgery Foundation (PSF), the educational and research arm of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

TIPS, held at The Palace Hotel, will bring together more than 250 doctors, industry leaders, researchers and investors in the field of plastic surgery to discuss the pros, cons, safety, and effectiveness of emerging technologies, products, and procedures in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery in an unbiased format.
