African Americans and surgery has turned into an interesting topic as of late in the community. Black women are more concerned with the nature of their surgical scars due to the risk of keloids or thick ropey dark scars.They tend to shy away from the full face and neck lift afraid of the scars of the procedure. A common issue for the black woman are split earlobes and the need to have them repaired.
