Is it important that a surgeon has worked on someone with my skin tone? Will results be different? Skin type V.

Asked By:D Londonx

Many surgeons have shown me their work which consists of mostly white women. I am mixed race and more of a darker tone (skin type 5) . Is this something I should consider when looking for a surgeon? I do really like a lot of their work I just wish I could see an idea of how someone of my colour heals. I heal pretty well scars turn white and disappear quickly if I don't pick at my skin but never had stitches or anything cut that deep before
