Gregory R.D. Evans MD, FACS President California Society of Plastic Surgeons 2025-2026

It is my distinct honor to have been elected your president of the California Society of Plastic Surgeons for this upcoming year. Pivoting off a tremendously successful 75th Anniversary Meeting, which brought new and old members together and living past presidents, we can focus on the upcoming year and move forward together toward the future. Our goal is to provide our members the resources for their practices. Whether in private, hospital based or academic, CSPS is there for you. We strive to continue our advocacy for plastic surgeons in California as well as partnering with ASPS and The Aesthetic Society on a more national scale.

We continue to provide education and teaching through our annual meeting, webinars, symposia as well as site visits for our residency programs and local plastic surgery societies. Our goal is to continue to attract new members by decreasing the extra paperwork in applying and shortening the timeline available for membership. Our committee structure continues to look for people interested in getting involved and help to shape the practice of plastic surgery in California. Please click here to indicate your interest.
