| Core Tip |
As an emerging discipline, the needs of patients undergoing plastic surgery differ greatly from those of patients in other disciplines. People seeking cosmetic surgery choose plastic surgery because they seek a higher standard of beauty, and their expectations of the procedure are high. Therefore, plastic surgery, unlike other disciplines, requires a high degree of accuracy. Patients usually lack a concrete sense of the outcomes of a procedure before surgery. Physicians’ clinical practice, including training and teaching, also relies heavily on crude personal experience and lacks accurate numerical standards, and young physicians rarely have opportunities to operate. Digital technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and three-dimensional printing have been widely used for the preoperative design, intraoperative navigation, and postoperative evaluation of plastic surgery. |
