Question: I’m African American and wondering if there are any special considerations when it comes to injectable fillers for ethnic patients.
Answer: There really is not any special considerations regarding injectable fillers for African-Americans versus other ethnicities since all we are doing with injectable fillers is improving the contour of facial folds and wrinkles and whether it is light skin or dark skin the contour is still the same and we would treat ethnic patients identical to lighter-skinned patients.
