Message from Tom Biggs, MD
President of the Scientific Committee

KNOWLEDGE is the focus of the pursuit of EXCELLENCE.
The 2nd International Symmetria Meeting has brought together plastic surgeons of distinction who have been in pursuit of excellence their entire careers. From Ivo Pitanguy, Ruth Graf, and Joao Carlos Sampaio Goes in Brazil, to Per Heden and Jan Jernbeck in Sweden, from Patrick Tonnard and Michele Zocchi from Europe, to Malcolm Paul and Foad Nahai in the U.S., the faculty has pursued knowledge of the intricacies of plastic surgery. From Javier De Benito in Spain to Nick Percival and Patrick Mallucci in the U.K., to Michel Pflug in Switzerland, the concentration has been on the acquisition and spread of knowledge.
Symmetria Medical Group is dedicated to all this, and this second congregation is the continuation of the seeking of these goals. From facial rejuvenation to breast and body surgery, to the new frontier of our specialty, fat and stem cells, Symmetria stands as the beacon of light to illuminate the shadows still remaining in our surgical experiences.
The 2nd International Symmetria Meeting is bringing all this to us for one purpose...to increase our body of KNOWLEDGE so our focus on our pursuit of EXCELLENCE can be more tightly formed...so we can make the lives of our patients better.
This, after all, is the purpose of SYMMETRIA.
