Orthognathic surgery, which always has been one of many skills mastered by oral & maxillofacial surgeons, is considered a powerful aesthetic surgical procedure in the face. Also, Asian patients generally differ from Caucasians in morphology, thus require different plans, approaches, and procedures. Although we understand and manage the hard tissue with confidence, it is also true that not all of us are proficient or even interested in soft tissue management. It is a shame that not so many of us maxillofacial surgeons are publically considered as facial aesthetic experts. Sometimes we even have legal conflicts with neighboring specialties because of the range of practice. We maxillofacial surgeons share the same pride and also hardships. We often feel isolated and lonely, and that is why we need to gather together and support each other both in and out of operating rooms. Therefore, we founded the Asia- Pacific Association of Maxillofacial Aesthetic Surgeons in 2017 and held the commemorating symposium in Seoul. Many invited speakers from Taiwan, Russia, Thailand, Singapore, Japan, and Korea gave lectures about maxillofacial Aesthetic surgery. It was a great success. One of the many plans we agreed was to hold an international symposium every 2 years.
