Survey Reveals Growing Popularity of Cosmetic Surgery Among Minorities

African-American womanMore than half of minorities think the popularity of cosmetic surgery has grown among members of their racial/ethnic group in the last five years, according to those surveyed recently by the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. The AACS survey of minorities indicates that Asian. African-American, and Hispanic cultures are comfortable with cosmetic procedures.

Cosmetic surgery is the most popular among Asians (31.4 percent of respondents), followed by Hispanics (27.4) and African-Americans (18.8). About a quarter of those surveyed knew someone of their racial/ethnic background who has had cosmetic surgery.

Top Procedures

The survey found the most top invasive procedures were:

Ethnicity of Surgeon

More than 30 percent of those surveyed said they would search for a cosmetic surgeon of the same race/ethnicity as themselves, but 56 percent said that they believed it would be difficult to find a surgeon of the same race/ethnicity as themselves.

Reasons Deterring them from Surgery

Respondents were asked to give reasons that would affect their decision to have cosmetic surgery:

  • “Cost” was the reason mostly likely to affect Hispanics decision to have surgery
  • “Stigma” or “not interested” were the reasons mostly likely to affect Asians
  • “Don’t need it” was the reason mostly likely to affect African-Americans
