Artificial intelligence (AI) is being deployed in aesthetic surgery for analyzing patient data such as medical history and images for predicting potential treatment outcomes, mitigating associated risks and tailoring procedures for ideal results. AI-powered 3D modelling can be applied for examining CT scans in preoperative planning to provide better understanding of anatomical variations and to optimize surgical approaches for surgeons. Integration of AI with robotic surgery systems can potentially enhance dexterity and precision of complex aesthetic surgery procedures. Virtual simulations of treatment outcomes can be created with AI, further allowing patients to visualize results before surgical procedure.
AI integration with Augmented Reality (AR) technology can offer surgeons with real-time guidance and improve decision-making abilities during procedures. Development of AI tools such as DermGPT is assisting dermatologists by providing access to dermatology information, improving efficiency of clinical tasks and enhancing patient care.
