Abstract

Mobile phones have progressively become an inseparable partner to plastic surgeons in their clinical practice. From using the mobile phone camera to take pictures of injuries and sending those for instant advice, to searching for the best evidence articles in peer review journals, mobile phones have changed the plastic surgeons' approach on the best way to manage their patients. The availability of information in mobile technology has allowed a growing market for education tools for plastic surgeons and patients and the use of social media for marketing purposes. With the increased availability of smartphone applications, these devices have the potential to be an invaluable tool for the modern in training and practicing plastic surgeon.
