The Future of Breast Surgery: New Innovations and Beyond Friday, October 10 Fri, Oct 10 2:00-3:00 p.m. CDT

As artificial intelligence continues to transform medicine, its impact on aesthetic breast surgery is becoming increasingly profound. This thought-provoking session invites participants to reimagine surgical planning by examining how AI can complement—or even surpass—human intuition in decision-making. From breast simulation and implant sizing to predictive outcome modeling, the use of AI raises exciting possibilities along with important ethical and practical considerations. Attendees will explore the boundaries of machine involvement in patient consultations, consent processes, and surgical recommendations. The session will also consider how AI can be harnessed to personalize patient experiences and streamline aesthetic practice management, all while preserving the vital role of human artistry, judgment, and empathy.

Upon completion of this learning activity, participants should be able to:

1. Examine how AI can challenge traditional surgical planning paradigms in aesthetic breast surgery.
2. Critique the strengths and limitations of AI-driven tools for breast simulation, sizing, and implant selection.
3. Discuss ethical considerations in using AI for patient consultations, informed consent, and surgical outcome modeling.
4. Forecast how AI may shape the future of aesthetic practice management, including marketing and patient journey customization.
5. Strategize ways to integrate AI into practice while maintaining human intuition, creativity, and connection with patients.
