Abstract: Thanks to the development of computer science, display technology and tracking technology in recent years, virtual reality and augmented reality catch more and more people’s eyes. At the same time, this new technology has been applied to many different industries, and it has huge practical value and broad prospect in healthcare, especially in plastic surgery. In this article we review the basic concept of virtual reality and augmented reality and introduce their practical applications in plastic surgery (preoperative planning, intraoperative guiding and surgical training), providing an outlook for further development in this field.
