Dutch Association for Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Surgery of the face has evolved into a separate entity within the field of Plastic surgery. The plastic surgeon of today must be able to handle a wide range of technical challenges that can be encountered in this specific anatomical area.

It is however not enough to just be able to master the techniques. Only in combination with a sound judgement is it possible to achieve consistently predictable and high level results.

The Dutch Association for Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery was founded in order to channel the growing surgical interest in the face. The association aims to achieve and maintain the highest (inter)national standards in both theory and practice of facial plastic surgery. This is most fittingly demonstrated by the practical state of the art teaching, which is given during the 8 yearly fellowships.

Each fellowship consists of 2 phases. The first 3 months will be spend in 5 hospitals in and around Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The second phase of 3 months will be in one of the following 4 locations:

- Ghent, Belgium
- Montreux, Switzerland
- London, United Kingdom
- Stuttgart, Germany

Every year, many junior doctors from all over the world apply for one of our fellowships. For more information on our fellowships, please click here

The fellowships are endorsed by EURAPS. Prospective fellows can therefore apply for an official grant. For more information click here
