BB&W sat down with celebrity plastic surgeon, Babak Asizzadeh of the Center for Advanced Facial Plastic Surgery earlier this month, and he shared with me some insight into some burning questions some of you have about cosmetic surgery. This dude has been on Oprah, and just so happens to be the surgeon for Mary Joe Buttafuoco–remember her from that whole “Long Island Lolita” incident where the teenaged lover of her sociopath ex-husband came to her door and shot her in the face?

He tailored his commentary specifically to African American women, and it’s amazing what’s new with treatment for a ‘resting frown’ (which can TOTALLY dampen your love life), nose jobs that hold the ethnic integrity of the patient, and the subtle indicators of aging, and ways to combat them.
