Plastic surgery has become an INCREASINGLY popular way to enhance one’s appearance. From facelifts to liposuction, there seems to be NO LIMIT to what people are willing to do in the name of ‘’BEAUTY’’. But perhaps the most RIDICULOUS procedure of all is the Brazilian butt lift.

Yes, you read that correctly. People are actually PAYING thousands of dollars to have their buttocks enlarged and lifted, all in the hopes of achieving that coveted Kardashian-esque figure. Never mind the fact that the procedure is incredibly risky and has resulted in numerous deaths – as long as you have a BIGGER BUTT, it’s worth it, right?

Notable celebrities like Kim Kardashian (of course), Kylie Jenner, Cardi B, Iggy Azalea, SZA, Latto, and Summer Walker have all been under the needle and have FLEXED their plastic-enhanced bodies toward an entire generation of young impressionable, and insecure teenage girls who now feel like they should look like MEWTWO to keep up with today’s standard of what is considered: ‘’Beautiful’’. 

But let’s be real here. Is having a larger butt really worth the potential health risks? Not to mention the fact that you’ll have to deal with the inevitable stares and comments from people who can tell that your butt is about as believable as 6IX9INE’S ‘’gangster’’ persona. And let’s not forget that the trend of having a huge butt will EVENTUALLY fade away, leaving you with a PERMANENT REMINDER of the fleeting beauty standards of the early 21st century.
