Introduction: Social media is a platform used by more than half of the world's population, and the appearance of people on social media is essential. The aim of this study was to evaluate if there is a significant relationship between patients' social media usage and their desire to undergo plastic surgery and how they find suitable surgeons. Method: In this study, a survey consisting of 20 multiple-choice questions was administered to patients between the ages of 18 and 65 years who applied to the Bezmialem Vakıf Hospital Clinics. The questionnaire consisted of questions about demographics, preferred social media platforms, average daily screen time, and whether it is possible that social media had an impact on their decision to undergo plastic surgery. Results: A total of 74 patients participated, and the most used social media platform was Instagram. There was a significant difference found between the people who trust the surgeons who share their patient satisfaction on social media and the people who want to find surgeons from social media or from friends (p<0.05). So that means patients have more trust in you if you share your patient satisfaction on social media but still they prefer to go to surgeons who are known by their close social environment. There wasn't a statistically significant relationship between the people who spent 5+ hours on social media and those who found surgeons from social media (p>0.05). So social media may advertise the surgeons, but at the end of the day, it is not enough to make them trust you, wether they use social media a lot or not. Conclusion: According to this study, there is significant difference found between the social media advertising and advice from their social environment. People may like if a surgeon is well known on social media but still they want to go the surgeons recommended by their friends. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
