Introduction: How does Religion affect the desired Brazilian Buttock Lift Shape and Size?
The BBL is an essential feature of the female silhouette. This has led to the rise of the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) as one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures in recent years. Despite the popularity of this BBL reshaping and augmentation procedure, there remains no prevailing standard for the ideal BBL size and shape. We have observed a wide range of preferred BBL sizes and shapes amongst our patients. Brazilian Butt Lift goals can be subjective concerning the size and shape desired that may be affected by religion. This discovery was made following a survey of 422 patients who were stratified by their preferred religious preference including Christians and/or Catholics, Jewish, and Muslims.
The Value of the Buttock Assessment Tool
The tool determines desired BBL shape (upper, middle, lower pole maximum fullness) and BBL size (waist to hip width ratio) in the PA (posterior anterior) views.
The chart reiterates the preference for Muslim patients desiring more conservative BBL to waistline widths as demonstrated below.
BBL Shape and Size Results Affected by Religion
Patients universally preferred the maximum fullness in the mid butt regardless of religious preference. However, Muslims statistically preferred smaller mid-butt to waistline widths when compared to patients with other religious preferences.
The chart reiterates the preference for Muslim patients desiring more conservative BBL to waistline widths as demonstrated below.
In summary, our findings demonstrated that religion can be a factor in BBL size preferences. Specifically, Muslim women desire a smaller BBL more than any other religious followers. This finding is also understandable as Islam patients take on a more conservative stance when compared to other religions. Prior studies have indicated this modesty in Muslim women.
Conclusion: How does Religion affect the desired Brazilian Buttock Lift Shape and Size?
In summary, the Buttock Assessment Tool is an invaluable tool that helps guide prospective patients desiring BBL surgery. Additionally, it has demonstrated specific preferences affected by religious preferences. If you are unsure about the most appropriate buttock size and shape, we encourage you to consult our surgeons at SurgiSculpt.
