Aesthetic Surgery Journal is pleased to announce the appointment of Nicholas R Sinclair MD as our new Social Media Section Editor.
As social media increasingly influences patient decision-making, surgeon reputation, and the dissemination of aesthetic surgery research, thoughtful oversight and evidence-based communication are more important than ever. Dr. Sinclair brings both clinical expertise and digital fluency to this evolving space within plastic surgery.
The Social Media section will highlight research examining digital engagement strategies, patient education trends, ethical considerations, online professionalism, and measurable outcomes related to social media use in aesthetic plastic surgery practice. Emphasis will be placed on data-driven analyses, survey-based research, and practical frameworks that surgeons can implement responsibly.
For aesthetic surgeons, residents, and aesthetic medicine professionals, this section will provide actionable insights on maintaining professionalism, enhancing patient trust, and leveraging digital platforms to support practice growth while upholding clinical integrity.
This appointment reflects ASJ’s continued commitment to innovation, education, and leadership in modern aesthetic surgery communication.
