Aesthetic practitioner Dr Souphi Samizadeh has been appointed president of the Royal Society of Medicine’s (RSM) Section of Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery.
Following the section’s founding President, Dr Christopher Rowland Payne, she becomes the first woman to hold the position. Dr Samizadeh explains that in her new role she is committed to fostering a multidisciplinary approach that brings surgeons, physicians, dentists, healthcare professionals and scientists together to learn from one another.
As president, she will support scientific progress by advancing research, discovery and knowledge within aesthetic medicine and surgery, explains RSM. Her priority is to ensure that practice remains evidence-based, guided by robust proof rather than trends. Dr Samizadeh will also champion a patient-centred approach, with safety and wellbeing placed first at all times.
