/24-7PressRelease/ - BEVERLY HILLS, CA, January 31, 2007 - In 2006, Hispanics led minority racial and ethnic groups undergoing cosmetic procedures (9.5% of all procedures performed, up from 6% in 2000), according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. This is especially the case in California, where Latinos make up a large portion of the population.
More Hispanic women are seeking plastic surgery, according to Dr. Lloyd Krieger of Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, California. Dr. Krieger, who has been featured in Fortune, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Access Hollywood, and other media, states that over 35% of the patients at his California plastic surgery center are Hispanic men and women.
The majority of Dr. Krieger's patients who ask for his renowned "Rodeo Drive Mommy Makeover" are Hispanic women in their 20's and 30's. The "Mommy Makeover" consists of a Beverly Hills tummy tuck, breast lift and frequently a small California breast implant.
Beverly Hills breast augmentation is in high demand among young Hispanic women, either as a single procedure or as part of the "Mommy Makeover."
Hispanic women and men who opt for Beverly Hills rhinoplasty are concerned with keeping their ethnic identity, so Dr. Krieger's procedure enhances the face but does not erase ethic origins.
Hispanic skin is generally thicker and less prone to wrinkling; signs of aging tend to be sagging rather than the crinkled look found in Northern Europeans. This must be taken into consideration when planning their Los Angeles plastic surgery.
Generally darker than Caucasian skin, Hispanic skin is more prone to scarring and uneven skin tone. Dr. Krieger notes that special approaches are necessary in his procedures for Hispanic patients to avoid unsightly scarring and to preserve the skin tone.
California liposuction is in high demand by both Hispanic men and women. Dr. Krieger's male patients ask for liposuction to eliminate love handles and achieve the look of a flat chest and washboard stomach.
Dr. Krieger has established a unique professional network to offer his patients a lifestyle design, which may include a new wardrobe at nearby Rodeo Drive shops, a new hairstyle, spa treatments, and a new fitness regime. Dr. Krieger attended medical school at the University of Chicago and completed his residency at UCLA, and maintains operating privileges at UCLA Medical Center and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery specializes in Los Angeles plastic surgery for Hispanics. Some procedures that Latinos are doing include Los Angeles breast augmentation and Los Angeles rhinoplasty as well as California tummy tuck.
