CIMS » TU CIUDAD INVESTIGATES THE LATINA PLASTIC SURGERY BOOM!

The February issue also delves into the L.A. Archdiocese sexual abuse scandal,
plus a profile of heavyweight boxer Cristobal Arreola, and more!

Los Angeles, (4 February 2008) – The February issue of Tu Ciudad, the English-language guide to Latino L.A., reveals the increasing trend of Latinas going under the knife for cosmetic enhancements. Nationally, Latinos make for 8% of the 11 million plastic surgeries in the U.S., up 5% from 2000 according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Locally, Latinos account for 22% of plastic surgery patients.

“We wanted to shed some light on the growing fascination with Latinas and plastic surgery in a city infamous for such vanity,” comments Editor-in-Chief Oscar Garza. “Now that Latinos are the largest ethnic group in the U.S., more attention is given to how we are advancing socially, and how we spend disposable income.””*
