ChatGPT-4o as a Tool for Patient Education in Plastic Surgery
ChatGPT-4o offers significant promise as a supplementary patient education tool in plastic surgery. Its ability to deliver coherent, empathetic, and accessible responses may help bridge health literacy gaps. However, it should not replace detailed, individualized surgeon-patient discussions. Further refinement and real-world validation are needed to enhance its clinical reliability and integration into patient care.
