Cosmetic Plastic Surgery in the Hispanic Community
August 2008
Over the last few decades cosmetic plastic surgeries have been gaining popularity in the Hispanic community, both in the U.S. and abroad. A large percentage of the surgeries being undertaken for women and for men in these communities are facial surgery procedures, often rhinoplasty. As demand for cosmetic surgeries among latinos escalates, it becomes increasingly important to understand the unique needs of this population in order to offer them the best available options in plastic surgery that fit the social and cultural demands that are arising.
