About the society

        Saudi Arabia is the largest country in the Arabian Gulf region, and hence the SSAPSB serves a very large area of the Middle Eastern, Asian and other Foreign Plastic Surgeons in the country, besides the Saudis. We are the closest geographically to Africa, therefore we have very strong ties with the African plastic surgery societies as an example the Egyptians. In fact we commonly collaborate in our scientific activities.

      The history of plastic surgery in Saudi Arabia is a long history more than 40 years of ambition, hopes and petition. I remember with proud the efforts of my colleagues of plastic surgeons in its early years, to promote the specialty by overcoming the social difficulties and technical needs and to establish safe, successful high standard plastic surgery service in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia which we successfully achieved. 

      Our success made us to dream of   creating the first professional Scientific Association of Plastic Surgery and Burns (SSAPSB) in the kingdom which was founded on 2001 (G) to promote the specialty and to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experiences locally and internationally with the similar associations and there plastic surgery members.

    We are an Association starting its second decade but proudly we have achieved a lot in short time, by providing up-to-date education for our member through local scientific activities  and followed  by Annual International Conferences and many  Workshops where eminent plastic  surgeons been invited  from all over the world.

We work hard to disseminate accurate and current information to the public and media, and to promote safe plastic surgery nation wide.
