Gender disparity in plastic surgery in Canada is an important issue. The Women Plastic Surgeons of Canada (WPSC) group was created to highlight the interests and concerns of female members of the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons (CSPS). Women Plastic Surgeons of Canada seeks to teach and implement measures to overcome the internal and external factors contributing to "the plastic ceiling." In addition, the WPSC group was created to raise awareness about the gender gap in our leadership and implement strategies to empower female surgeons to "lean in" and seek out leadership roles in plastic surgery. Education, mentorship, and networking among female CSPS members are first steps in empowering our female surgeons. All members of the CSPS are encouraged to learn about gender disparity in order to work together to address this issue.
加拿大整形手术中的性别差异是一个重要问题。加拿大女整形外科医生（WPSC）组织的成立是为了突出加拿大整形外科协会（CSPS）女性成员的利益和关切。加拿大女整形外科医生旨在传授并实施措施，以克服导致“整形天花板”的内部和外部因素。此外，成立WPSC组织是为了提高人们对我们领导层中性别差距的认识，并实施战略，使女外科医生能够“向前一步”，在整形手术中寻求领导职位。CSPS女性成员之间的教育、指导和建立人际关系网络是增强女外科医生能力的第一步。鼓励CSPS的所有成员了解性别差异，以便共同努力解决这一问题。
