TLDR Robotic systems in cosmetic surgery are promising but need more development and research.
Robot-assisted surgery in aesthetic plastic surgery is still in its early stages, with limited clinical application due to challenges like high costs, bulky equipment, and lack of standardized docking methods. While robotic systems such as da Vinci, Symani, MUSA, and ARTAS show potential benefits like precision and minimally invasive access, their use in purely aesthetic procedures is rare. The review highlights the need for further research to develop reproducible docking standards and expand clinical indications. Future advancements in single-port systems, artificial intelligence, and surgeon training are expected to enhance the adoption of robotic systems in aesthetic plastic surgery.
