N2 - Facial plastic and reconstructive surgery has historically been a male-dominated field. It is critical to assess the current state of female representation within our Society to better gauge how we reflect the changing needs of our community and our patients. Although we have made headway in fostering a community ripe for progress, we must continue to create and promote equal opportunities, dissuade microaggressions, address burnout, and capitalize on the innate strengths of our female constituents. With the data presented in this study, we hope to further illuminate the benefits of women engagement in our Academy while recommending sustainable actions to create a culture of allyship.
