Artificial intelligence has begun to change how people access information about plastic surgery and how healthcare services may be supported. Patients can direct their questions about aesthetic procedures to AI assistants, while surgeons may use these technologies to review selected data, compare measurements and search scientific literature.

Artificial intelligence assistants can list the general risks associated with aesthetic surgery within seconds. They may also comment on a person’s level of risk by assessing certain information, such as age, weight, smoking and chronic medical conditions. However, this interpretation is not equivalent to an individualised risk assessment performed by an experienced plastic surgeon whose professional qualifications have been verified.

Artificial intelligence can review large volumes of medical text and visual material within a short period of time. It can provide general information about aesthetic procedures, compare certain measurements and identify recurring patterns within specific datasets. However, accessing information quickly is not the same as interpreting that information in relation to an actual patient. A…

Artificial intelligence assistants can make it easier to access information about aesthetic procedures. They can quickly explain how a procedure is performed, what may be experienced during recovery and which aesthetic concerns it may be considered for. However, learning about an operation is not the same as deciding that the operation is necessary and suitable for you.

Artificial intelligence has begun to change the way patients research aesthetic surgery. Before meeting with a plastic surgeon, patients can now ask AI assistants about procedures they are considering, obtain explanations of medical terminology and request assessments based on their photographs. Some tools can also generate images that claim to represent how a patient may look after surgery.

At certain times, similar body contours may become prominent on social media. A narrow waist, pronounced buttocks, greater breast volume or a sharply defined abdomen can quickly become popular. Artificial intelligence tools may also be influenced by these frequently encountered images and interpret certain body types as more attractive or ideal.

Artificial intelligence assistants can provide a patient searching for a plastic surgeon with names, clinics and comparisons within seconds. They can make the research process easier by bringing together information from websites, patient reviews, social media accounts and publicly available professional records. However, access to all this information does not mean that artificial intelligence can choose the right plastic surgeon for you.

When you communicate with an artificial intelligence assistant over a long period of time, you may begin to feel that it knows you. It may remember questions you have asked before, your interests, your aesthetic concerns and some of the personal information you have shared. This can create the impression that artificial intelligence is providing an assessment tailored specifically to you, particularly when you seek advice about aesthetic surgery. However, being “known” by artificial intelligence is not the same as being evaluated by a plastic surgeon.

Artificial intelligence assistants can answer questions about aesthetic surgery within seconds. They may explain how the appearance of the abdominal area could be changed, outline different breast surgery options or provide general information about body contouring procedures. However, these capabilities do not mean that artificial intelligence can determine which aesthetic procedure your body needs.

Artificial intelligence tools can analyse an uploaded body photograph within seconds and provide comments on areas such as the waist, abdomen, breasts or buttocks. Some tools can also generate new images showing how a person might appear after an aesthetic procedure. However, what artificial intelligence evaluates is not the actual body, but a two-dimensional image of the body captured at a particular moment and under specific conditions.
