More and more butt lifts & augmentations

Society’s image of the “ideal body” is always changing, and what may be considered beautiful today may be completely different in a few years. These changes are typically a reflection of celebrity gossip, fashion trends, and the industry of cosmetic and plastic surgery. In 2014, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported that there has been a pretty interesting shift of trends. For many years, a boob job was the most performed cosmetic procedure, but within the last year the number of butt lifts and augmentations performed has skyrocketed.

Amongst all categories of cosmetic procedures, the butt lift reflected the biggest increase in 2014. Buttock augmentation using fat grafting more commonly known as the Brazilian Butt Lift, accounted for a 15% increase. The number of performed butt lifts increased by a surprising 44%. So what does this mean? It seems as this procedure, which was once looked down upon, is becoming more socially acceptable and desired. With celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Nicki Minaj popping up all over our media sources, society can’t help but to notice their round, plump behind. Naturally, we can’t help but to find these figures attractive, making many women want to have a bigger behind. 

Just a few years ago, the most common form of buttocks augmentation was the use of buttocks implants. Although these techniques yielded great results, the newly found technique of fat grafting has called the attention of many plastic surgeons and women worldwide. Through the Brazilian butt lift procedure, fat is removed from different areas of the body through liposuction, and then transferred to the buttock to create the perfectly shaped behind. One of the most beneficial factors of the procedure is the use of something natural, the patient’s own fat. This one aspect alone has caused many women to turn to the idea of getting buttocks augmentation through this technique. 

Over the last few years, this technique has become more and more popular. Because of the natural look and feel that results from this procedure, women all over the world are seeking the best doctors to give them their dream butt. 

While breast augmentations still lie at the top of the charts, butt augmentations and lifts are rising to the top at an increasingly fast speed. The idea of having a small waist and big butt seems like a dream to most women and this procedure seems to be giving patients exactly what they want.
