Plastic Surgery is surgery for the individual. It is tailored to the patient’s assessment and realistic expectations. Nothing could be more true than Ethnic plastic surgery.

Different ethnic groups (African American, Asian, Hispanics, Middle Eastern) have different views on what is considered realistic beauty. This is compounded by the fact that not only the structural anatomy is different (noses, eyelids etc) but also the desires are also different.

The skin of the different ethnic groups is also different and heals differently; this is taken into consideration when planning incisions for surgical procedures. It is also of importance when planning skin resurfacing using lasers.

A careful and knowledgeable assessment has to be performed and expectations discussed in order to plan the appropriate therapy whether surgical or non surgical.

Dr Sawan will be happy to discuss your options after carefully listening to you to formulate a plan that will get you the desired look and result.
