Liposuction, Tummy Tuck Face Lift Most Popular For Minorities,

A recent survey by the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery has revealed the most popular surgeries for ethnic minorities.

Liposuction is the most popular procedure among black people, followed by breast reduction and forehead lift.  Black people make up 18.8% of plastic surgery clients who are not white.  Those of Hispanic origin, who make up 27.14% of minority clients, opt for tummy tuck procedures, as well as thigh lift and breast enlargement.  Asians, who make up the largest proportion of non-white plastic surgery clients at 31.4%,  are most likely to seek a face lift, followed by eyelid surgery and ear surgery.

The survey does not include figures for gastric band, as this is bariatric surgery rather than cosmetic.
