“…To gauge the public perception of plastic surgery, Mustafa and colleagues used an NLP technique called hedonometrics to analyze tweets regarding plastic surgery occurring between 2012 and 2016. 15 Hedonometrics is a procedure that uses an algorithm to quantify happiness based on text. 16 The data set contains over 10,000 words pulled from Amazon Mechanical Turk.…”

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare delivery has become an important area of research due to the rapid progression of technology, which has allowed the growth of many processes historically reliant upon human input. AI has become particularly important in plastic surgery in a variety of settings. This article highlights current applications of AI in plastic surgery and discusses future implications. We further detail ethical issues that may arise in the implementation of AI in plastic surgery. Methods: We conducted a systematic literature review of all electronically available publications in the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases as of February 5, 2020. All returned publications regarding the application of AI in plastic surgery were considered for inclusion. Results: Of the 89 novel articles returned, 14 satisfied inclusion and exclusion criteria. Articles procured from the references of those of the database search and those pertaining to historical and ethical implications were summarized when relevant. Conclusions: Numerous applications of AI exist in plastic surgery. Big data, machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and facial recognition are examples of AI-based technology that plastic surgeons may utilize to advance their surgical practice. Like any evolving technology, however, the use of AI in healthcare raises important ethical issues, including patient autonomy and informed consent, confidentiality, and appropriate data use. Such considerations are significant, as high ethical standards are key to appropriate and longstanding implementation of AI.

“…The social media platform Twitter is widely applied in the field of infodemiology [9,10]. In the field of plastic surgery, Twitter has been deployed to investigate public perception toward plastic surgery [11,12] and the engagement of plastic surgeons with social media [13,14]. Therefore, Twitter data can be used to examine public thoughts in a rapid and economic way.…”

Background The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has brought drastic changes to the field of plastic surgery. It is critical for stakeholders in this field to identify the changes in public interest in plastic procedures to be adequately prepared to meet the challenges of the pandemic. Objective The aim of this study is to examine tweets related to the public interest in plastic procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic and to help stakeholders in the field of plastic surgery adjust their practices and sustain their operations during the current difficult situation of the pandemic. Methods Using a web crawler, 73,963 publicly accessible tweets about the most common cosmetic surgical and minimally invasive plastic procedures were collected. The tweets were grouped into three phases, and the tweeting frequencies and Google Trends indices were examined. Tweeting frequency, sentiment, and word frequency analyses were performed with Python modules. Results Tweeting frequency increased by 24.0% in phase 2 and decreased by 9.1% in phase 3. Tweets about breast augmentation, liposuction, and abdominoplasty (“tummy tuck”) procedures consecutively increased over the three phases of the pandemic. Interest in Botox and chemical peel procedures revived first when the lockdown was lifted. The COVID-19 pandemic was associated with a negative impact on public sentiment about plastic procedures. The word frequency pattern significantly changed after phase 1 and then remained relatively stable. Conclusions According to Twitter data, the public maintained their interest in plastic procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Stakeholders should consider refocusing on breast augmentation, liposuction, and abdominoplasty procedures during the current phase of the pandemic. In the case of a second wave of COVID-19, stakeholders should prepare for a temporary surge of Botox and chemical peel procedures.

“…Similarly in 2018, out of the top IG posts related to plastic surgery, only 17.8% were made by ASAPS eligible board-certified plastic surgeons. It was also found that some doctors who were not plastic surgeons were labeling themselves as “cosmetic surgeons.” [ 6 ] Interestingly, it has also been found that the word “plastic” has negative associations, while the words “cosmetic, aesthetic, reconstruction” have positive associations on social media [ 7 ].…”

Background The internet has become a powerful tool for disseminating medical information. Social media platforms have gained popularity among medical professionals to connect with patients and promote their work and practices. We aimed to understand who is posting about facelift procedure on Instagram. Methods Sprinklr, a social listening platform, was used to compile conversations that were posted on Instagram between January 1, 2021, and February 28, 2021, and contained hashtags #facelift, #necklift, #plasticsurgery, #plasticsurgerybeforeandafter, and #platysmabands. English and Spanish language posts were analyzed for positive sentiment. Based on the number of likes, the top 100 English and Spanish posts were selected. Posts were categorized based on primary specialty of the poster as plastic surgeon, non-plastic surgeon, country of active clinical practice, board certification, and members of international plastic surgery societies. Results A total of 5099 posts with a total of 11,918 mentions were collected. Of the top 100 English posts, the countries most represented were the USA (59%), followed by Turkey (6%). Physicians made up 48% of the top English posts, of whom 42% were US board-certified plastic surgeons. By contrast, of the top 100 Spanish posts, the countries most represented were Mexico (29%) and Colombia (25%). Physician posters constituted 78%, of whom 38.5% were plastic surgeons certified by their country of practice. Conclusions Plastic surgeons have become more active in creating popular content related to facelift on Instagram over the past few years. However, a significant percentage of IG content on #facelift, a surgical procedure, was made by non-physicians and non-plastic surgeons in 2021. Level of evidence: Not gradable.
