Preoperative Patient Guidance and Education in Aesthetic Breast Plastic Surgery: A Novel Proposed Application of Artificial Intelligence Large Language Models.

ABSTRACT:

Background

At a time when Internet and social media use is omnipresent among patients in their self-directed research about their medical or surgical needs, artificial intelligence (AI) large language models (LLMs) are on track to represent hallmark resources in this context.

Objectives

The authors aim to explore and assess the performance of a novel AI LLM in answering questions posed by simulated patients interested in aesthetic breast plastic surgery procedures.

Methods

A publicly available AI LLM was queried using simulated interactions from the perspective of patients interested in breast augmentation, mastopexy, and breast reduction. Questions posed were standardized and categorized under aesthetic needs inquiries and awareness of appropriate procedures; patient
