I’m Doctor Douglas Forman board certified plastic surgeon. In the age of AI satisfying your curiosity has never been easier and may feel like chat has all the answers but before you use it to learn more about a potential procedure there are a few things to keep in mind.
Number 1: chat doesn’t know you. it cannot give you personalized advice your anatomy your history your goals these can change what your procedure and your recovery may look like it also cannot determine whether you’re actually a good candidate or what the safest option may be for you
Number 2: chat’s knowledge is limited medical guidelines evolve techniques improve recommendations shift which means it may be giving you inaccurate information that’s not a risk worth taking with your face or your body
Number 3: information overload on the flip side there’s such a thing as too much information AI can often pull from many different resources and that can actually take you off topic this can lead patients feeling even more confused and overwhelmed during a consultation we come up with a targeted game plan specialized to you at the end of the day AI is a great tool as becoming used more and more in the medical field and I understand it may feel easier than having an intimate conversation about your face your body or anything about yourself especially when you’re not sure what questions to even ask that’s exactly what my consultations are for I’ll make sure the information you receive is relevant to you so that you feel confident whatever you decide
