PPAIFI

The PPAIFI SHARP: Surgical Hands-On Refresher Program.

Rhinoplasty is not a procedure to be rushed. It is a craft that demands precision, judgment, and experience.

Last August 16, 2026, PPAIFI successfully held the 2nd Surgical Hands On Refresher Program (SHARP) for a select few of our PPAIFI Cosmetic Surgeons & PPAI Trainees.

During a 1-Day Event at ACE Medical Center Mandaluyong, PPAIFI hosted the SHARP led by our Premier Leading Expert specializing in Rhinoplasty, Dr. Eduardo Yap.

PPAIFI thanks all those who participated & our Industry Partners: H&B Pharma, Inc.

Our SHARP Masterclasses (such as the Rhinoplasty Workshop) bring cosmetic surgeons into the hospital-based setting, where learning happens in small groups, through focused, one-on-one teaching and direct observation of live surgery. Every step is discussed. Every decision has a rationale. Every technique is taught with clear, practical instruction.

Because the intricacies of rhinoplasty cannot—and should not—be reduced to a quick demonstration.

We take the time to understand anatomy, surgical planning, structural preservation and reconstruction, and the nuances that ultimately determine both patient safety and patient satisfaction.

At PPAIFI, we don’t teach rhinoplasty simply to make surgeons faster.

Precision over speed.
Safety over shortcuts.
Patient satisfaction at the center of every decision.

✨ A LITTLE STYLE GUIDE FOR OUR 13TH BIENNIAL CONVENTION ✨

As we get ready for “Where Precision Meets Style,” we invite our delegates to bring a little elegance to the occasion.

Here’s your guide to dressing the part:

🖤 LECTURE DAY 1 — FORMAL
Predominantly Black + Hints of Green

Think classic, sophisticated, and effortlessly polished.

Black gowns, cocktail dresses, sharp suits and tux-inspired looks are all welcome. Add a touch of emerald, forest, or deep green to make the look distinctly ours.

The goal: timeless black with just enough green to make an entrance.

🌿 LECTURE DAY 2 — BUSINESS CASUAL

Earth Tones + Business Neutrals

For Day 2, we ease into something a little more relaxed — but still refined. Think cream, beige, taupe, camel, olive, brown, soft white and other earthy neutrals.

For the gentlemen: tailored trousers, relaxed blazers, crisp shirts and polished loafers.

For the ladies: elegant dresses, tailored separates, trousers, skirts or sophisticated relaxed pieces.

The goal: polished, comfortable, and effortlessly chic.

✨ THE STYLE RULE?
Come as yourself — just a little more fabulous.

See you in black & green on Day 1, and earth tones on Day 2.
Let’s make this convention as stylish as it is inspiring.

Cosmetic Surgeons Don’t Just Change Faces: We Change Lives.

PPAIFI has proudly celebrated the 1st Philippine Cosmetic Surgery Day on July 15, 2026. In celebration of this special day: PPAIFI held a Gift-Giving and Outreach Program for the children under the care of Mother Caterina Roncalli Shelter Home in Amadeo, Cavite.

This day marks more than a milestone—it is a celebration of the dedication, innovation, and unwavering commitment of Filipino cosmetic surgeons to advancing safe, ethical, and patient-centered aesthetic care. May this inaugural celebration inspire continued excellence, strengthen our professional community, and reaffirm our shared mission of providing safe cosmetic surgery for every Filipino.

Congratulations to all of us at the Pan Pacific Aesthetic Institute Foundation, Inc. (PPAIFI) on this historic celebration! And thank you to the kind & wonderful Sisters of the Mother Caterina Roncalli Shelter Home: May God continue to bless you and the staff for the good that you do for these children. Thank you to everyone who actively participated and generously shared their blessings to make this endeavor a resounding success!

Happy 1st Philippine Cosmetic Surgery Day! May this be the first of many meaningful celebrations to come. 🇵🇭
