Dr. Steven Williams is making history after being elected the first Black president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, AfroTech reported. Williams is the first African-American physician to hold this position in the organization's 92-year history.
Dr. Williams took to Instagram to express his enthusiasm about his career and how he helps his patients achieve their aesthetic goals and enhance their confidence. He also shared his commitment to making information about plastic surgery more accessible, by educating more patients and working together to make safe, informed decisions and achieve the best possible results for everyone.
The Ivy League-educated surgeon is the founder of Tri Valley Plastic Surgery in Dublin, California. Williams is honored to have been chosen to fill this important role, stating that it brings with it an "incredible sense of honor, duty and pride." He adds that it is a personal achievement to be the first African American person to be president at ASPS.
Williams has been part of the ASPS board for the past 15 years, most recently serving as the Vice President of Membership. During this time, he was instrumental in growing patient safety practices, expanding international membership, and heading the diversity and inclusion committee.
In his new role as President, he hopes to take advantage of technological advances, advocate for DEI initiatives, and educate his patients on making smart decisions. He recognizes the power of social media to spread information about plastic surgery, but cautions that it often presents an unrealistic picture of life and individual beauty.
