Background: In response to the growing popularity of noninvasive facial cosmetic procedures, this study assessed the rate and predictors of satisfaction with such procedures in Saudi Arabia, filling a research gap and emphasizing the role of patient satisfaction in optimizing care and understanding the economic implications for healthcare. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from May to June 2023 using an online self-administered questionnaire distributed across all regions of Saudi Arabia. Eligible participants were Saudi adults aged 18 years and older who had undergone noninvasive facial cosmetic procedures. Patients who underwent surgical/invasive cosmetic procedures, nonfacial interventions, or interventions performed by doctors other than plastic surgeons or dermatologists were excluded. Results: Most participants reported satisfaction with their procedures. Significant predictors of satisfaction included sex, income, and residential area. Women, higher-income individuals, and residents of certain areas were more likely to report satisfaction. Participants also expressed a high level of satisfaction with the friendly and polite treatment they received from their doctors but showed dissatisfaction with the difficulty they faced in securing immediate postprocedure appointments. Conclusions: This study provides valuable insights into the rate and predictors of satisfaction after noninvasive facial cosmetic procedures in Saudi Arabia. These findings underscore the importance of considering sociodemographic factors in patient satisfaction and suggest areas for improvement in patient care, particularly in facilitating immediate postprocedure appointments. Future research should continue to explore these and other potential predictors to further improve patient outcomes in the field of noninvasive facial cosmetic procedures.

Highlights: This study shows that in the era of society 5.0, digital technology has played a major role in doctor-patient communication in the medical field, especially in plastic aesthetic surgery. Only a few plastic surgeons comprehend this digital transformation. It is hoped that this study will help plastic surgeons better understand and adapt to social media. Abstract: Introduction: In the medical field, particularly in areas like plastic aesthetic surgery and cosmetology, social media has emerged as a convenient and interactive means of educating and promoting the services of doctors, hospitals, and institutions. However, there remains a pressing need for further research to thoroughly understand the influence of social media on plastic surgery procedures. This study aims to review the literature on the current facets of social media that impact patients' decision-makingin aesthetic plastic surgery. Methods: Database PubMed was used for the search terms: "plastic surgery," aesthetic, and “social media". Publication time ranges were set from 2019 until 2023. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) were used to help arrange this literature review. Result: Thirteen records were included in this study. The studies uniformly emphasize the effectiveness of social media as a communication tool between doctors and patients or social media users. Popular platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter are widely used, varying based on factors like country, age, and gender. These platforms enable the global spread of education and information about plastic aesthetic surgery, effectively reaching a diverse audience. Conclusion: Social media serves as a platform for disseminating educational content, promoting professional work, engaging with the wider public community, and facilitating patient-doctor interactions in the decision-making process for plastic aesthetic surgery. Additionally, it plays a role in influencing patients' preferences regarding specific aesthetic plastic surgery procedures.
