Choosing Butt Augmentation Procedures 

A round, shapely backside is what many women would consider the perfect addition to their bodies. However, very few are naturally blessed with the ideal feminine curves they desire. While exercises that target the glutes can help define the buttocks, they are usually not enough on their own to create the ideal silhouette. 

Butt augmentation procedures are an option that more people are turning to in order to get the enhanced buttocks they want. Patients can choose between butt augmentation with implants or a Brazilian Butt Lift to get the curvy backside they crave. Many women also choose butt augmentation procedures for the additional benefits of balancing out their body proportions.

What Are the Available Options for Buttock Enhancement? 

Buttock enhancement procedures can be safely performed by a reputable surgeon either through inserting silicone implants or using fat transfer with liposuction (more commonly known as a BBL). Each option has its own pros and cons and results in a different look. Women looking for a more dramatic increase in size may opt for buttock implants, while those wanting a more natural look may choose a Brazilian Butt Lift. The BBL is also a good option for women who wish to remove unwanted fat from various body areas. 

The Popularity of Buttock Enhancement 

In recent years, the demand for buttock enhancement procedures has continued to increase. In 2022, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported a 20 percent increase in butt implants and a 2 percent increase in BBLs since 2019. The total number of reported butt implant procedures performed in 2022 is 1,164, while the total BBL’s performed that same year is 28,638. The growth of these numbers seems to implicate an increasing trend of larger buttocks being more desirable. 

Why Are Butt Augmentation Procedures In Demand? 

There are various reasons why someone may choose to get a butt augmentation procedure. The growing number of these procedures could very well be the result of how cultural trends and celebrity influences have been shaping cosmetic surgery choices. 

Evolving Beauty Standards

In the late 90s and early 2000s, many people viewed ultra-thin bodies as the ideal beauty standard for women. Yet recently, there has been a big move towards body positivity movements, making many different body types seen as beautiful in mainstream media. Society has grown to favor more curvy body types, too, often highlighting the beauty of having a full and round backside.  

Celebrity Influences 

It’s no secret that famous celebrities can often influence everyday people’s opinions. With the plastic surgery stigma continuing to fade, more celebrities have come forward and publicly announced what procedures they’ve gotten done. Doing so has promoted transparency behind how many famous people have achieved their voluptuous curves and allowed other people to look into getting butt augmentations to get the results they want.
