In this video, Dr. Jonathan Zelken, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Newport Beach, California, delves into the captivating and rapidly evolving intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and plastic surgery. With the rise of AI technologies like OpenAI’s ChatGPT making headlines for their groundbreaking applications—and their potential risks—Dr. Zelken offers a thoughtful perspective on what AI could mean for the future of the aesthetic field.

Drawing an interesting comparison, Dr. Zelken likens himself to Gladys from a quaint toy shop, symbolizing the tension between old-world craftsmanship and the encroaching influence of cutting-edge technology. He candidly shares his initial skepticism about AI, questioning whether a machine could ever replace the artistry, intuition, and human touch that define facial plastic surgery.

But in a fascinating turn of events, Dr. Zelken shares his personal experience with AI when an algorithm, similar to ChatGPT, analyzed his own facial proportions using the golden ratio—a mathematical concept often associated with beauty. The AI’s recommendations for enhancements, such as chin augmentation, rhinoplasty, and mid-facial volume adjustments, were eerily accurate, sparking deeper questions about the role AI could play in transforming the way we approach plastic surgery consultations and procedures. Could AI really understand the nuanced balance of aesthetics in the same way a human surgeon does?

Dr. Zelken tackles some of the most pressing concerns surrounding AI's use in medicine, reflecting on the growing debate in the tech world. With public discussions surrounding AI safety, privacy, and the fear of over-reliance on machine learning tools, he asks: Should AI be trusted to guide decisions about something as personal as your face? Are there risks of AI tools like ChatGPT going too far, or could they lead to advancements in precision, efficiency, and patient outcomes? How will AI integrate into the patient-doctor relationship, and what does this mean for the future of personalized care in aesthetic medicine?

Dr. Zelken thoughtfully considers both the benefits and limitations of AI, including the potential for bias in algorithms, the ethical implications of AI-driven consultations, and the risk of losing the human element in procedures that rely heavily on artistic judgment. He also explores how these technologies could revolutionize patient consultations, offering more precise and data-driven insights into facial symmetry and harmony, while still ensuring that each patient's unique identity and preferences are respected.

Join Dr. Zelken as he navigates this complex landscape, offering a balanced take on the excitement and apprehension surrounding AI in plastic surgery. From improved accuracy and personalized treatment plans to concerns over AI replacing the artistry and emotional intelligence of human surgeons, this video is a must-watch for anyone interested in the future of medicine, technology, and beauty.

Stay tuned to learn how AI might impact you as a patient and how Dr. Zelken is pioneering a thoughtful approach to integrating technology with his practice.
