  (#10) Early Reviews From Users Are Positive

  While Apple TV's partnership with the Plastic Surgery Network is still pretty new, early reviews from the press are goods. Even the reader comments on articles announcing the app are overwhelmingly positive. Additionally early users are already utilizing PSN's question forum asking for advice that anyone can also tune in for.

  (#2) The Benefit To Plastic Surgeons Is Clear

  Of course, PSN will help the expanding plastic surgery industry (which includes everything from Botox to boob jobs) reach a new, tech-savvy clientele. The ease of exploring cosmetic surgery from one's own home would, in theory, be the boost potential clients need to take the plunge and visit a surgeon.

  Beyond revolutionizing the world of plastic surgery - and the implications such an app has for the future of the entire healthcare industry - the Plastic Surgery Network is testing the limits of what television content can be. The success of the app will signify the value of bringing more personally nuanced topics into the service-oriented space of virtual technology.

  (#5) Users Can Schedule Appointments Through Their TVs

  "Phone call anxiety" is a real thing for millennials - after all they are a generation of text-messagers. Plastic Surgery Network's through-the-TV scheduling feature will especially appeal to those hoping to avoid listening to a doctor's room hold music. With a few clicks of the remote control, PSN viewers can research different doctors, watch videos to determine if a doctor is a good fit, and book an appointment without ever picking up the phone.

  (#7) There Are Already A Few Major Plastic Surgeons On Board

  Dr. Philip Miller, an NYC-based facial surgeon, and Dr. Gordon Kaplan, a California-based surgeon, are two of PSN's early adopters. Kaplan tells Forbes, "In a time when TV watchers are cutting the cord, PSN is merging on-demand television with plastic surgery."

  Kaplan also notes that Apple TV users account for 5% of people in the US using Wi-Fi streaming platforms. It's a small number but also tends to be a demographic which skews toward the side of people concerned with aesthetics. This, in theory, might be the sort of people who would consider (and presumable, can afford) cosmetic surgery.

  (#6) The Q&A Section Is Next-Level

  Q&A blog content is nothing new, but the Plastic Surgery Network is reinventing the concept completely. On the app, each doctor has an individual content stream featuring their videos and articles. Content that potential patients can read, interact with, and learn from. Patients can submit questions to specific doctors or even open a virtual dialogue with the doctor of their choosing.

  (#4) Virtual Consultations In The Privacy Of One's Home Are A Huge Draw

  If there's anything that apps like Postmates, Task Rabbit, and Door Dash have shown us, it's that people don't want to leave their houses if they don't have to. PSN's upcoming virtual reality features cater to that particular laziness. The app is also perfect for anyone who can't quite build up the courage to step foot in a real plastic surgery clinic. Within the next year, the Plastic Surgery Network will roll out technology that allows patients and doctors to interact in a "virtual consultation room." Peak laziness and peak technology meet.
