Does ethnicity affect cosmetic surgery results?

Skin color and the way a person forms scars can have an effect on cosmetic surgery results. African Americans have a higher incidence of keloid formation, which are thickened enlarged scars. Patients who develop keloids of the ear lobes after piercing are at risk for having problems with other surgical scars. An evaluation of previous scars by your plastic surgeon can provide valuable input into results of your plastic surgery.
