A 40 year old female who had a lateral thigh tuck and Brazilian buttock lift to achieve her BBL goals.
BBL Size and Shape in 1890 to 1910s
In the late 1890s, artist Charles Dana Gibson creates the Gibson Girl. She becomes regarded as the ideal American woman, that other women strived for and men dreamed of. She epitomized the feminine figure. Back then the female figure was a tight waist and generous BBL creating the well-regarded hourglass as she stood tall and poised. Her persona cried social success and self-assurance.
BBL Size and Shape in 1910 to 1930s
This era was typified by women who were obsessed with appearing more masculine to enter the workforce. Coined flappers, wished to avoid all feminine features and curves. As a stark contrast to the “Gibson Girl”, this era of flappers became obsessed with hiding their curves. Instead, they strived for a flat butt, chest, and thighs and wore loose clothes to convey a boyish figure that was more conducive to participating in labored, physical activities.
BBL Size and Shape in the 1930s to 1950s
The 30s was the beginning of a shift to more generous BBL volumes and more curves. This trend continued from 1930 through the 1950s. Women generally became heavier and more matronly than their 1920s counterparts. This transition to showing off modest curves was best typified by wearing fitted trousers.
BBL Size and Shape in 1960 to 1980s
This decade experienced women reverting back to more conservative, athletic figures best typified by the wonder woman body. The BBL shape was best described by the popularity of fitted booty shorts that were worn universally by all ages of women.
BBL Size and Shape in the 1980s to 2000s
Again the curvy butt trend came back but not like the 30 to 50s. Physical fitness became a priority and women began weight training. Performing squats became a mainstay as the gluteus maximus muscle, the main muscle traversing the BBL cheek got more attention. Thus stronger BBL cheeks, but not necessarily large BBL cheeks became popular. The athletic BBL look continued to build to prominence until the 2000s.
And now today’s BBL in 2000 to 2020s
The trend towards more attention to the BBL has continued throughout the last two decades. In fact, this trend has peaked due to social media influencers such as Kim Kardashian. The trend for a huge BBL has progressed throughout the 2020’s requiring the redesign of jeans to accommodate very large BBL volumes! This peak interest has led to patients flocking to Miami to undergo the Brazilian BBL Lift.
2020 to 2030s?
We have observed a recent trend of reverting back to smaller BBL sizes. The BBLs are still large, just not out of control! In fact, patients who have previously undergone extreme Brazilian BBL lifts with the transfer of over 1 Liter of fat into each BBL cheek are coming to California to get BBL reduction. In order to reduce extreme BBLs it is necessary to not only remove the fat using liposuction but also to excise upper BBL skin to avoid sagging of the BBL caused by overfilling and subsequent stretching of the skin. Removal of the upper BBL skin to counter BBL skin redundancy has been named the lateral thigh and BBL tuck. Finally, interest in a more proportional BBL enlargement has led to the development of a BBL that has been coined the skinny BBL.
Brazilian Butt Lift Elements
Regardless of the Brazilian Butt lift surgery desired, all of your buttock needs can be met. Options include not only the addition of fat cells to augment your size but also the ability to tighten loose skin or remove excess skin. Sometimes, your bum may be appropriately sized and just need reshaping. But shape can be altered by replacing fat from one area to another. Fat transfer from one area to another is more common than you think especially in patients who have already had a BBL procedure but are not happy. The creation of a bubble butt refers to maximum buttock cheek augmentation where as a skinny BBL refers to a butt that has only the transfer of fat to the upper central buttock for increased projection but no addition to the lateral buttock region. The bottom line is that regardless of your personal desire, a Brazilian buttocks lift can help you achieve the buttock of your dreams.
