Dear Dr. Keramidas:

Your presentation, Travelling Hours Following Breast Augmentation. How Safe Is It?, has caught my attention. In consultation with Associate Editor Dr. Jeffrey Kenkel, we would like to encourage you to submit your work to peer review for potential publication in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal (ASJ). Congratulations!

We hope you will accept our personal invitation to develop your presentation into a full-length manuscript and submit it to the ASJ. We believe your topic is one that would be of great interest and practical benefit to our readership, and we are eager to receive it. We expect a surge in submissions during/after the annual meeting and we therefore encourage you to submit at your first opportunity.

We believe ASJ is a wonderful venue for your research – and all of your future aesthetic papers – because it is the most widely-read cosmetic-only journal in the industry. ASJ now has a circulation of over 11,000 and we publish a larger number of cosmetic articles than any other journal. ASJ is indexed with MEDLINE/PubMed and covered by Thomson Reuters (2012 Impact Factor: 1.546). It is also the official English-language journal of more than 15 international cosmetic surgery societies.

The Author Instructions can be found here: http://aes.sagepub.com/site/misc/solicited_authors.xhtml. These guidelines should assist you as you begin writing and formatting your material. If you accept our invitation, we ask that you add the following into your cover letter, so that we may track your submission and afford it special priority expediting during peer review.
