Did you know male factor infertility is a primary or contributing cause in 40–50% of infertility cases?

Fertility isn’t just a women’s issue. We’re making space for everyone in the conversation and bringing greater awareness to male reproductive health, fertility, and family planning in plastic surgery.

Join us at PSTM this year as we continue creating space for informed conversations around fertility, family planning, and building a family while building a career in surgery!
