Associate Professor Chalermpong Chatdokmaiprai, MD

President of Organizing Committee

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is my great honor and pleasure to welcome you to the 2026 Asia Pacific Plastic Surgery & Craniofacial Congress, to be held at the Centara Grand at Central Plaza Ladprao Bangkok.

This important congress represents a unique collaboration among leading professional organizations in the region: the Asian Pacific Craniofacial Association (APCA), the Asian Pacific Cleft-Lip-Palate & Craniofacial Congress (APCLPC), the Thai Cleft Lip-Palate & Craniofacial Association (TCCA), the Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons of Thailand (ThPRS), and the Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons of Thailand (ThSAPS). Through this partnership, the congress aims to bring together distinguished surgeons, researchers, and healthcare professionals from across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.

This meeting will serve as an exceptional platform for the exchange of knowledge, experience, and the latest advances in plastic, reconstructive, aesthetic, and craniofacial surgery. Our scientific program has been carefully designed to encourage meaningful discussions, promote interdisciplinary collaboration, and highlight innovations that continue to advance our field.

Importantly, the congress will also provide a valuable stage for young surgeons and emerging investigators to present their research, share new ideas, and showcase innovative techniques. We strongly believe that nurturing the next generation of surgeons is essential to the continued progress of plastic and craniofacial surgery in our region.

Beyond the scientific program, we hope that you will also enjoy the vibrant culture, warm hospitality, and renowned cuisine of Bangkok. We trust that this congress will foster lasting professional relationships and inspire new collaborations that will benefit our patients and our profession.

We look forward to welcoming you to Bangkok for what promises to be a memorable and enriching congress.
