Abstract
The potential applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care have garnered
significant interest in recent years. This study presents the first published exploration
of ChatGPT, an AI language model, as a tool for providing postoperative guidance during
rhinoplasty recovery. The primary objective was to shed light on the role of ChatGPT
in augmenting patient care during the critical postoperative phase. Using the Rhinobase
database, standardized questions were formulated to evaluate AI-generated responses
addressing pain management, swelling, bruising, and potential asymmetries. Results
demonstrated that ChatGPT has the potential to enhance patient education and alleviate
emotional distress by providing general information and reassurance during the recovery
process. However, the study emphasized that AI should not replace personalized advice
from qualified health care professionals. This pioneering investigation offers valuable
insights into the integration of AI and human expertise, paving the way for optimized
postrhinoplasty recovery care.
