Surgeon to surgeon, across meridians.
A scientific society for licensed surgeons who want structured, evidence-based training in aesthetic and corrective surgery, with its home in Campinas, Brazil, and partners across Asia and Latin America.
Continuing education, not a licence.
ISASE trains surgeons who are already qualified in their own country. We organise what a senior surgeon knows into tracks, commented operations and live discussion. Nothing we issue replaces local registration, and we say so on every certificate.
Digital curriculum
Four tracks of recorded lectures and commented surgeries, assessed module by module, with new content every month.

News
A society founded to teach.
ISASE was conceived in 2026 by Dr. Marcelo Policarpo de Souza Assis, a plastic surgeon with more than 21 years in facial aesthetic surgery, to turn the training he gives at the Aesthetic Global Training programme into a structured, international society.
Mission
Raise the quality and safety of aesthetic and corrective surgery through structured, evidence-based continuing education that respects the rules of every country.
Vision
Be the reference in continuing education for surgical societies of Asia and Latin America.
What we are not
We do not create a specialty, grant a licence, or authorise anyone to operate beyond what their local law allows. We do not guarantee hands-on contact with patients in Brazil or abroad. Certificates record completed activities only.
Governance
A scientific council of five to seven members, including at least two surgeons nominated by partner societies and one external member with no commercial ties; an education committee that approves tracks and assessments; an ethics committee for conflicts of interest and image use. Every council member files an annual conflict-of-interest declaration.
