Background: Australia and New Zealand's plastic surgery landscape is shifting, with female surgeons rapidly increasing their presence. A recent study suggests better post-operative outcomes and fewer complications under their care. This abstract explores the current landscape and the future of female surgeons in this field. Results: While women remain outnumbered (17.98% of practising surgeons), their representation is surging. In training programs, females now comprise 36.54% of trainees, compared to just 24.5% in 2017. Discussion: Despite this progress, challenges persist. Gender bias, work-life balance, and mentorship issues still hinder advancement. Yet, opportunities abound. An aging population, rising demand for surgery, and patient-centred care trends favour female surgeons' expertise. Technological advancements open doors for new treatment options and practice models. Supporting female surgeons is key. Promoting diversity, strong mentorship programs, leadership training, and highlighting successful role models can empower them to navigate personal and professional challenges. Conclusion: The future for female plastic surgeons in Australia and New Zealand is promising. By addressing challenges and capitalizing on opportunities, we can nurture a thriving and diverse community of surgeons who will continue to shape the future of this field.
