Tummy Tuck for African-American women- What African American Women look for abdominoplasty in Los Angeles


The ideal for a beautiful figure differs much between African-American women and Caucasians; not only in Los Angeles or Southern California, but through-out the United States of America.



While most Caucasian women seek cosmetic plastic surgery in order to obtain a smaller and more petite figure, most African-American women don’t mind being full bodied. Instead, they rather have a curvaceous figure with a full buttock.



The failure to note this difference in expectations among different ethnicities can often lead to the disappointment of African-American women who have gone through plastic surgery, only to find themselves with a less attractive “stick-figure” body.



The first picture is that of an African-American women who had a tummy tuck in Beverly Hills. She told me that while she got rid off her hanging abdominal skin fold with a tummy tuck she still did not like the final result of her Abdominoplasty because of lack of shape.

 

The second photo is that of the same woman after a revision abdominoplasty and liposuction by me. Note the difference in shape, curves, and figure. This is what most African American women say they want. Black women don’t necessarily want to get thinner, but more curvaceous.



As the ethnic diversity changes in the United States plastic surgeons should pay closer attention to the notion of beauty among different ethnicities.
