Ethnic Facelift – What You Need To Know

Different ethnicities have different facial and bone structures, skin texture and tone, scarring tendencies, and beauty ideals. A surgical procedure performed on a Caucasian female can be vastly different than the same procedure performed on an Asian male. Though many surgical goals are standard across all ethnicities such as reducing the signs of aging, contouring and toning the body, and appearing more attractive, those belonging to different ethnic groups usually wish to maintain their cultural identities. A European beauty standard should not be applied to all patients.

African Americans, Asians, and Hispanics looking to reduce the signs of aging in their face may consider a facelift. When considering a plastic surgeon, its important to choose someone who has experience with your type of skin. Compared to Caucasian patients, ethnic patients have increased susceptibility to scarring. Dr. Sadati has experience minimize scarring for African American patients.

Asian Facelifts

Typically, Asian patients have a flatter facial skeleton, causing the skin to sag in the lower portion of the face. In addition, many Asians experience more accumulation and droopiness of fat in the lower face and neck area.

A facelift tailored to Asian patients focuses mostly on the lower portion of the face. Dr. Sadati also takes special precautions to avoid keloid scarring in Asian patients.

African American Facelifts

African American patients see aging later in life than most Caucasians. Typically, the neck, cheek, and jawline begin to droop, forming nasolabial folds and jowls. Because African Americans experience keloid scars more frequently, Dr. Sadati takes extra precautions to ensure minimal scarring.

Hispanic Facelifts

Hispanic patients age differently than Caucasians. Facelifts for Hispanic patients focus on tightening the skin and lifting droopy and saggy skin. Dr. Sadati has performed many Hispanic facelifts and is sensitive to maintaining cultural identity.
