Plastic Surgeon With Dominican Roots Is the New Doctor on the Block in Beverly Hills - Filling a Need With the Rising Cosmetic Surgery Movement Among Latinos

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- John Diaz, MD is changing the face of how we view plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills. Combining his Dominican background and extensive cosmetic surgery training, Dr. Diaz sets a novel angle on Latino beauty and cosmetic surgery in his practice.

With the popularity of cosmetic surgery shows coupled with the never-ending desire for self-improvement, interest in cosmetic surgery continues to increase with the general population. With this, the trend for plastic surgery among Latinos has also been growing in leaps and bounds. To no great surprise, from 2000 and 2004, the total number of cosmetic procedures performed on U.S. Hispanics jumped by 49 percent, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). In 2005, Latinos accounted for nearly 10% of all plastic surgery procedures across the US -- leading all minority groups. As cited from ASPS 2005 data, the most requested surgical procedures among Latinos include breast augmentation, liposuction and nose reshaping.

But with the rise of Latinos undergoing plastic surgery, the percentage of Latino plastic surgeons has not been tracked. At this time, Dr. John Diaz is in fact one of the few Latino Plastic Surgeons practicing in Beverly Hills.

Having been featured on E! Channel's "Dr. 90210" and starting his own private practice in recent months, Dr. Diaz explains, "being Latino has enabled me to more fully understand the rich variety of this culture. With this innate knowledge, I understand better than anyone else, what the ideals for beauty are among Latinos. I can perfect without taking away the cultural aspects of beauty. I focus on creating the kind of result my Latino patients want, and modify my surgical techniques so that I can create this."

Dr. John Diaz, an Ivy league graduate from Cornell University, attended the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, graduating with top honors. Dr. Diaz trained at the highly accelerated plastic surgery residency program at The Montefiore Medical Center in New York. He then went on to be accepted into the Aesthetic surgery fellowship directed by Richard Ellenbogen, MD in Beverly Hills. In 2006, Dr. Diaz opened his own private practice -- conveniently located at 421 North Rodeo Drive, Terrace Level South in Beverly Hills, CA.

Dr. Diaz has extensive experience in performing all aspects of aesthetic plastic surgery including breast augmentation and liposuction. He also has extensive training in facial cosmetic surgery, which includes facelifts, rhinoplasty, forehead lifts, facial reshaping, eyelid surgery, mouth rejuvenation, cheek reduction, chin augmentation and mouth rejuvenation. Dr. Diaz has published articles and a textbook chapter on plastic surgery. He has been quoted in several national magazines and has been featured on E! Entertainment Channel's "Dr. 90210."
