Plastic Surgeons Are Underrepresented on Hospital Websites When Searching for Facial Aesthetics Procedures
This study highlights the underrepresentation of plastic surgeons on hospital websites when searching for common facial aesthetic procedures. Factors such as the prevalence of procedures performed outside of hospitals, overlapping procedural privileges, and search engine inaccuracies may contribute to this issue. Patients may face challenges locating a plastic surgeon and could benefit from more streamlined guidance when using hospital websites.
