Welcome to Plastic Surgery T & A with Dr. Earl Stephenson, your trusted board-certified plastic surgeon delivering truth and transformation every week.

In this episode, “Beauty and the Algorithm: How AI Is Reshaping the Face of Plastic Surgery”, we’re diving deep into how artificial intelligence, beauty filters, and social media apps like TikTok, Instagram, and FaceApp are redefining beauty standards, shaping patient expectations, and even influencing surgical techniques. But what happens when the perfect face on your screen becomes the standard you’re trying to achieve in real life?

📌 In This Episode, We Discuss:

1. The Impact of AI Filters & Apps: How social media filters are acting as a gateway to cosmetic procedures and creating unrealistic beauty standards.

2. The Psychological Toll: Understanding Snapchat Dysmorphia, Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), and why chasing perfection can be a slippery slope.

3. AI Tools in Plastic Surgery: How predictive imaging tools like Vectra, Chrysilax, AEDIT, and Banuba are changing the consultation process — and why they’re a double-edged sword.

4. Cultural Bias in AI Filters: Why AI isn’t neutral and how it promotes Eurocentric beauty ideals, impacting patients of color.

5. Ethical Dilemmas & The ESJ Way: Why I choose to enhance your natural beauty, not erase it — and how technology should be used responsibly.

6. The Future of AI in Aesthetics: How AI can enhance consultations, pre-surgical planning, and education, but will never replace the expertise of a board-certified plastic surgeon.
