Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The integration of personalized technologies is transforming plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery, enabling more precise, patient-specific planning and interventions. From point-of-care ultrasound and digital imaging to 3D printing, biomaterials, and regenerative scaffolds, modern tools are reshaping surgical strategies and improving both functional and aesthetic outcomes.
This Special Issue invites contributions that explore the clinical and translational applications of these technologies. Topics of interest include AI-assisted planning, image-to-implant workflows, scaffold and prosthetic design, tissue engineering, and digital tools that support individualized care. We welcome the submission of original research and reviews that highlight innovation and best practices at the intersection of surgery, engineering, and personalized medicine.
The goal of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for sharing cutting-edge developments that bring us closer to safer, more effective, and truly personalized surgical care.
Dr. Dominik Walczak
Guest Editor
