Plastic Surgery for African-American Women- Concept of Beauty Among Black Women
 Los Angeles plastic surgery
among African-American women has come to age. Black women have found
new financial independence as they have become the major wage earners
of their families. With hard work, sacrifice, and perseverance women of
color have advanced themselves in every professional field. Having
achieved economic autonomy black women of today have chosen to reward
themselves with plastic surgery. It is not uncommon to hear an African
American woman tell me that “after years of singlehandedly putting my
children through school and college, I now want to do something for
myself”. And why not, because she has earned it! Although the reasons for seeking Los Angeles cosmetic surgery
might be more similar among all women, the definition of beauty varies
dramatically between African-American and Caucasian women. When it
comes to choosing an ideal body shape black women want curves.
African-American women seek liposuction not necessarily to get slimmer,
but more importantly to become more curvaceous. They feel that keeping
fat and fullness in certain areas such as hips and buttocks is sexy.
That is why some plastic surgeons are combining liposuction and body
contouring with fat augmentation in order to create the perfect figure.
 When
it comes to breast enhancement surgery African American women don’t
necessarily desire very large breasts but more perkiness and
youthfulness! Unlike women of Anglo-Saxon or European heritage who
usually don’t have large breasts, black women are usually blessed with
rather large bosoms. Because of gravity, weight fluctuations, or aging
large breasts sag, prompting many black women to choose breast lift
surgery (mastopexy) or even breast reduction surgery.
The facial skin of women of color is more resilient against sun and
environmental damages. Black women age well and don’t show the same
extent of fine wrinkles or sun spots. Instead, African American women
tend to show more dark circles around their eyes, as well as eye bags.
Therefore, eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty tends to occur at an
earlier age among African-American women.
Ethnic rhinoplasty or nose surgery has evolved recently.
African-American women want to refine their nose while keeping their
African-American identity. The last thing that a black woman wants is
to have a Caucasian nose or one like that of Michael Jackson. Instead,
they prefer a nose that is more balanced with the rest of their face,
both in terms of its height and width. This often requires use of nasal
implants or cartilage graft in order to augment the nasal bridge.
All plastic surgeries among black women are conducted with an attention
to the healing patterns of their skin. While Keloid scars are not
specific to African skin, it is more prevalent among those with darker
skin. Both patients and doctors have to be aware of this and understand
how to minimize Keloid scarring.Dr. Sean Younai is a Board Certified Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon who is very experienced in ethnic plastic surgery, especially that of large volume liposuction, liposculpture, Los Angeles tummy tuck,

Breast Lift Surgery in Beverly Hills- Answers to your questions!
Do I Still Need a Breast Lift if I get Breast Augmentation with Breast Implants?
Beverly Hills breast implants
augment breast volume and thus replenish the emptiness of a sagging
breast. Although breast implants fill the breasts, they at best,
minimally lift the breasts depending on the extent of skin and soft
tissue laxity. Therefore, the premise that by choosing a bigger breast
implant you can avoid the need for a breast lift is false.
Does a breast lift affect the look of the areola and nipples?
As breasts sag the nipple-areola complex also stretches and
gets larger. It is customary to reduce the size of the areola during a Beverly Hills breast lift or Mastopexy procedure to that of a normal sized areola which has a diameter of approximately 1.5 inches.
Does wearing a bra prevent breast sagging or ptosis?
Although the drooping of breasts depend on a multitude of
factors that were discussed earlier, in women with large and heavy
breasts bra support will prevent excessive stretching of the Cooper’s
Ligaments, thus diminishing the extend of breast sagging.
Does breast feeding cause breast ptosis or sagging?
Breast feeding by itself does not cause ptosis, but breast
enlargement as a result of pregnancy, followed by their shrinkage with
drying of the milk causes stretching of the breasts which ultimately
cause them to sag.
How Will Breast Lift Surgery Alter My Breast Size?
As a rule, a Breast Lift will reduce the size of your breasts
– generally by one cup size. This is due to the removal of excess
breast skin, which itself carries a certain volume. To compensate for
the lost breast volume you may then consider having a breast implant
placed along with your Breast Lift surgery in Beverly Hills. There are
many factors to consider, such as your original breast size, what you
consider most attractive and the assessment your Los Angeles cosmetic surgeon of what size breasts are most proportionate for your body.
Does Mastopexy affect a woman’s ability to Breast Feed?
Considering that most types of breast lift or Mastopexy do not
disconnect the nipple from its roots, a woman should be able to
maintain her breast feeding ability after a lift. Never the less, a
Mastopexy can alter a woman’s breast feeding ability if the surgery
requires cutting into or manipulating the tissue located directly under
the nipple-areola complex.
Mammogram and Breast Self-Examination
Mastopexy does neither alter your ability for breast self-examination, nor is it a hindrance for receiving a mammogram. Your plastic surgeon Los Angeles will probably recommend that you get a mammogram six months after your Mastopexy in order to establish a baseline.
Can the areola size be reduced with a Mastopexy?
Yes. The diameter and size of a stretched-out areola can be reduced via a Peri-areolar or an inverted-T mastopexy.

What Is Blepharoplasty or Beverly Hills Eyelid Tuck
Blepharoplasty, or Eyelid Lift, or Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery,
is one of the top three cosmetic surgery procedures performed in
Beverly Hills. Between 1997 and 2002, the number of patients undergoing
Blepharoplasty increased by 44 percent because it is so effective. In
2005 alone, 231,000 patients underwent procedures to tighten drooping
skin on their upper eyelids, remove the puffiness, or “bags” below
their eyes – or both. Because the skin of the eyelids is so thin and
delicate, the eyelids tend to droop before the rest of the face. In
Beverly Hills Blepharoplasty surpasses facelifts, rhinoplasty (“nose
jobs”), and forehead and brow lifts as a commonly performed procedure
for “freshening up” a fatigued looking face.
Eyelid Surgery or Blepharoplasty can be both aesthetic, and
functional. Sometimes, eyes are damaged by trauma, infection,
inflammation, degeneration or by developmental deficiencies.
Blepharoplasty can help the eye to be functionally normal. It also
serves a cosmetic purpose, restoring and rejuvenating the appearance of
the eyes for a more youthful and alert appearance.
Many men who would not otherwise consider cosmetic surgery do undergo Eyelid Surgery in Los Angeles.
In some cases, they feel it is a necessity to remain competitive in
today’s challenging, and increasingly youth-oriented, workplaces. Also,
many people will undergo Eyelid Surgery as a way to freshen their
appearance while they delay having a Full Facelift.

Asian Eyelid Surgery in Beverly Hills
 Asian Eyelid Plastic Surgery, also known as “Double Eyelid Surgery,” is the most requested cosmetic surgery
in the Asian population, both in Asia and the United States. However,
the average age of those who undergo this surgery is generally younger
than for eyelid surgery that is performed on “Occidental” patients.
Many Asians go to impressive lengths to create a crease without
surgery. For example, some women sweep glue above their eyes, use a
mini-fork to hike up their eyelids, and then press it into place. The
goal is to create a larger, more attractive eye. Rather than endure
this routine on a daily basis, many patients opt for cosmetic surgery that creates a permanent crease.
 While many regard this plastic surgery
as an attempt to appear more “Western,” possibly a better definition of
the goal is to have a more defined contouring of the skin above the
lashes that is harmonious with other facial features. Often criticized
as a rejection of cultural “norms,” this surgery is in fact sought for
the same reasons as are other procedures – to increase the patient’s
self confidence. It is not sought to look more Occidental. Rather, plastic surgeon Los Angeles
patients seek to conform to what is more widely regarded as
aesthetically pleasing, whatever the culture. In other words, patients
do not seek a more Western eye, but simply a prettier Asian one.
About half of all Asian patients have an upper eyelid with a low but
defined eyelid crease. The other 50 percent of patients show little or
no sign of a crease, i.e. a “single eyelid.”
When present, the Asian crease differs from the typical Occidental
crease in a number of ways. These include formation that is closer to
the eyelashes, a different shape – with sometimes incomplete or
multiple folds. The Asian upper eyelid appears fuller or “puffier” than
the Occidental eyelid for many reasons, including a thicker eyebrow fat
pad that projects lower into the eyelid, and a much thicker
subcutaneous layer of fat that adds padding over the entire eyelid.
This interferes with crease formation.
Also, because Asian eyelashes tend to bend downward, the area between the upper and lower eyelids appears more closed.
