Plastic surgery popular with minorities

    There’s nothing wrong with wanting to look good through plastic surgery as long as you don’t actually change your appearance and lose your ethnicity. Unfortunately, Michael Jackson wasn’t aware of this and his deformed face is now scaring the hell out of everybody. This is what you get when you try so hard not to look like your own fellows.

    News has it that more and more ethnic patients are undergoing plastic surgery. Well, as long as they stay away from transforming themselves into the Next American Top Model, the possibility of having great results is fabulously high, and we won’t have to worry about seeing another Michael anytime soon.

    Kitsapsun tells about the good news.

    Nearly 11.5 million cosmetic surgical and nonsurgical procedures were done last year, 20 percent of which were conducted on racial and ethnic minorities, according to the ASAPS.

    In fact, Dr. Anthony Griffin, a noted Los Angeles plastic surgeon who appears on the ABC-TV show "Extreme Makeover," believes that in five years plastic surgery for people of color will become a specialty in the profession. For the highly competitive cosmetic surgery market, this area is virtually untapped.

    Looks like plastic surgery has found another gold mine. But then again, all of us want to be spared from cases of terrible metamorphosis where blacks try so hard to look like whites and Asians want to be beat Pinocchio with their westernized noses. Again, the issue of bad transformation should be addressed. Good thing plastic surgeons are really looking into that and are trying to evade that dangerous path.

    Like everyone else, an operation or procedure is customized to the individual, and it’s important they do not lose their ethnicity because they would look awkward.

    Now, that’s a relief.

    ... just had a pretty in depth "Special Beauty Report" on this called, "erasing ethnicity." Like I said in another post, I work with surgeons all over the U.S., including a Colorado plastic surgeon, so I read a lot of the press (online and in print). The Allure article stated that the number of plastc surgery procedures performed on minorities over the last 5 years increased 65%. Anyway, it's still on newsstands hopefully, so check it out. Great read.
