ICOPLAST is a non-profit organization formed in 2016 as a confederation of National Plastic Surgery Societies. ICOPLAST has almost 60 National Plastic Surgery society members, representing over 20,000 Plastic Surgeons from all over the world.
The Purpose of ICOPLAST is to educate, communicate, advocate and advance the specialty of plastic surgery globally, all in the widest sense of the word.

We are committed to continued education of plastic surgeons worldwide, and the ICOPLAST monthly Webinar program is freely available to members of all ICOPLAST National Societies. We also encourage our members to visit the ICOPLAST Webinar video library which is also available to view on demand for our members.
