Meghan Smith was tired of constant teasing about being an African-American woman with a flat behind.

"You know how stereotypes are. Black girls are supposed to have bigger bottoms, and I never did," says the 20-year-old Detroiter.

Smith went to plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Youn in Troy for a consultation, underwent a two-hour, $3,600 procedure and felt fine after four days. Now, she has a smaller waist -- and a bigger butt.
