Applications of Artificial Intelligence for Facial Aesthetic Surgery: a Systematic Review

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers opportunities to improve assessment, visualization, and communication in facial aesthetic surgery; however, its clinical reliability remains uncertain. This study aimed to synthesize contemporary evidence on AI applications, performance, methodological quality, and clinical relevance in facial aesthetic surgery. A systematic review conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines searched PubMed/MEDLIN…

Current reading — gain

AI systems in facial aesthetic surgery quantified postoperative changes in perceived age and facial morphology, generated realistic surgical visualizations, and gave comprehensible patient education responses.

Current reading — problem

Realistic visuals did not prove patient-specific predictive accuracy, better computation did not necessarily raise patient satisfaction, and five of eleven studies carried a high risk of bias.

What this doesn’t fix

Evidence is limited by heterogeneous methods, limited external validation, proprietary algorithms, potential demographic bias, and high or concerning risk of bias in all eleven included studies.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1410 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
