The fashion for an out-there derrière, as made famous by J-Lo has prompted a market for silicone implants in the buttocks.
Women (or is it their boyfriends?) want their bottoms high and round. An incision is made in the centre of the lower back, and the implants are placed behind the gluteus maximus muscle.
Does it hurt?
You'll be uncomfortable and bruised, have to wear a support garment for at least two weeks and must carry a soft cushion everywhere - not very J-Lo.
Why have it?
If your rear end is hopelessly Anglo-Saxon (flat) and no amount of "buns of steel" workouts will perk it up, you could benefit.
What are the downsides?
There's a slim chance of rupture and infection. Some patients have suffered swelling and hardness - not ideal for a bottom. It can take about six weeks to recover. And what happens when sticky-out bottoms go out of fashion?
Where can I get it?
Chris Inglefield, a highly regarded surgeon, has some impressive examples of his work on his website (www.cjinglefield-plasticsurg.com).
How much?
Around £3,000.
Who has had it done?
No A-listers, as far as we know. Brazilian women - for whom the ideal buttock is spherical - are the pioneers. It has gone down a storm in Los Angeles. Some lap dancers have found it boosts their careers.
LOL. Petronski, what say you!
What does it mean if a man has a big rear????
His pants stay up.
Yes thanks to Telemundo.
She's got a nice bottom. Baby, don't change a thing. ;O)
Well that was a quick answer!
He knows his place. LOL
Oh yes! isn't funny how many guys watch the spanish channel that don't even understand or speak spanish??
What? I was just thinking about your bottom. Why not answer quickly?
;OD
Oh yes. Hypnotised even :o)
Yeah...
Just look at 'em...
Oh yeah...
Who turned off the A/C?
You're just carrying out your manly responsibility!
Some are!
Muzak from Dr. Inglefield's office...
LOL! I'm sure she'd appreciate your admiration.
And there are men who love 'em. ;o)
I got an unauthorized sign!
Someone for everyone, as the saying goes ...
Yes. Just tune into the Jerry Springer show someday for a sampling. *shudder*
Yes. I used to laugh whenever someone said that around me but it's true. Women are extremely critical of themselves but if you're with the person you're supposed to be with why should a bum size matter? All this would be fascinating to study if the field wasn't dominated by leftist feminazis working out their womyn issues.
