Join us at The Aesthetic MEET
The Aesthetic MEET is where our specialty comes together to learn, share, and grow. In 2026, Boston provides a remarkable backdrop for this experience. Known for its history, culture, and spirit of discovery, the city sets the stage for a meeting that celebrates innovation while honoring the traditions that have shaped our field.
This gathering is more than an educational program—it is a chance to connect with colleagues, exchange ideas, and be inspired by the progress and possibilities in aesthetics. We hope you leave Boston with renewed energy and fresh perspective as, together, we continue to reveal the beauty of our specialty and its future.
Beauty Revealed: An Invitation to Excellence
This year's theme, Beauty Revealed, is more than a title—it's an invitation to uncover the latest surgical techniques, gain insider tips from world-renowned experts, and elevate every aspect of your practice. Bring your staff to sharpen their skills alongside you, ensuring your entire team grows stronger together.
Along the way, we'll celebrate a milestone—30 years of Aesthetic Surgery Journal, a trusted source that has guided our specialty for three decades. Boston, with its rich history, provides a meaningful backdrop as the nation celebrates its 250th anniversary.
Come to learn. Come to celebrate. Come to be inspired. Together, we reveal the beauty of our profession.
