AR systems give the user an instant view of the anatomy of the body and display other information on the patient's body. It is very useful during surgeries as it provides feedback during the procedure and sharpens the surgeon's focus. In learning institutions, AR enables medical students and trainees to perform surgeries virtually thus giving them an environment free of risks. This exposes the trainees to actual procedures they are likely to encounter in the field hence building their confidence when handling complicated procedures on actual patients. It is a giant leap in the medical field because the addition of AR enhances the training aspect as well as the accuracy of the surgery."India's distinctive combination of vigorous markets and digital innovators with high social needs in healthcare spells sustained growth in digital health social business, powered by an enthusiastic investment community", says Sachin Malhotra, CEO, Tech Care for All.Safety Enhancements Through TechnologyA concern for the patient is always paramount in plastic surgery and technology has helped improve it. Intraoperative imaging aids help the surgeon to check the positioning of the implants or other parts during surgery, reducing the chances of mistakes. Modern anesthesia delivery systems have integrated functions for monitoring the process and controlling the dosage of anesthetic agents delivered to the patient. These technologies do not only enhance the quality of the patients but also greatly decrease the chance of developing complications at the time of surgery and in the postoperative period. With the use of such tools, the field of plastic surgery is gradually moving forward to safer and more effective procedures.Conclusion: Technology being applied in the area of plastic surgery is still developing at an increasing rate and this is even more encouraging. In the future, with the improvement of technologies of AI, robotics, and AR, surgical operations will be more precise, secure, and swift. The patient experience will be better with better pre-operative planning, short recovery time, and better post-operative care. New directions in the development of regenerative medicine, bioprinting, and individual approaches to treatment will expand the potential of plastic surgery. These innovations will be adopted to help the field grow to new heights with the ultimate goal of providing the best patient outcomes and experiences. This is because technology is constantly improving and therefore the future of plastic surgery will be characterized by development.
