Let's Talk. The BBL Epidemic & How to Avoid It!

[@RB-gt8bf]

as a African American Nurse Practitioner....I often wonder with the surge of BBL what these women will look like in 10 to 20 years as they age.........and especially as the enter into later decades in life.....please I know it is a personal choice...but I would encourage anyone considering this procedure to really deeply think of not just the now but the future....please don't fall victim to a today's fad....that will look ridiculous in the future....and I see so many beautiful young women of color who already look terrific before adding all this extra fat to their rear ends....

[@luly2369]

[@artchick07]

I wonder what it will look like after childbirth... Liposuction doesn't look well after childbirth either

[@celeste7469]

Yes my cousin didn't tell anyone she got a bbl. While delivering her baby she was on iv fluid (common) and almost died cause she ended up with clot (fat) in her lungs. The Dr was.confused where the clot came from but my.cousin said she knew immediately. The fat definitely moves throughout your body. Side: Can we talk about women getting bbl then starting fitness channels to teach you their "workout" methods.

[@nicolesmith4371]

Yes!! The hips are way too high and no that is not natural. Real thick hips are widest down near the bottom of the crotch whereas bbl “hips” sit super high on the body. It’s a dead giveaway that the person does not have naturally wide hips and is trying to build them from the back. Go look at a naturally thick woman (not someone who lies) and then go look at a bbl body and you’ll see the difference. One looks proportionate and aesthetically pleasing while the other… It looks bad. Very uncanny. Also when I see extreme surgery it always reminds me of all the blood, pus and swelling that comes along with it. 🤢 They are like walking ‘body horror’ billboards.

Yes, there was a woman who had a BBL and she said the telltale sign is when the hips start at the navel/belly button that person had a BBL. After she said that I really started looking at some of these other women on social media and on God it’s the truth.

[@Kroumph]

Some women do actually have a high waist though. The widest point is still at the hip bones, but you’ll often see “hip dips” on higher-waisted people

[@nightcypha]

Sure, we men find women attractive. That’s simple biology. Telling our women (as Black women have always been the curviest women) that their bodies are beautiful when Western white society was telling them that their bodies were horrible is love. Other women, and some sistahs, who’ve jumped under the knife for this procedure did it for the lack of such a body. However, curves are not the only thing on a woman that make a woman beautiful. So, the explosion of BBL is really an insecurity/supposed confidence boosting procedure that screams pick me due to the advent of just how many women are getting them.

Honestly I feel that in the next 10 years guys are going to start drooling over girls with firm toned legs and glutes maybe even sculpted abs and arms, who knows. But I believe that trends follow a polarizing pattern. Think about it, we went from big boobs to big butts, we went from skinny to thick. And for makeup, we went from full coverage to light. It's just a matter of time for the trend to go from fat to muscle.

I grew up hearing in the 90s that bw women were shamed for being skinny like a white Girl and that the Coca Cola bottle body was always it in the 80s as well. I mean not to mention those tight ass corsets women used to wear in the 1900s. Big butts go back to slave times for black women I dont think it’s anything new fr it’s just that that surgery has made it accessible for more ppl that get that look that’s why it’s more popular within the black community fr. The only thing that genuinely changed is that white ppl wants this shape too now and thts because of the kardashians and their fetish to attract black men.

I have lots of anxiety too, so I would never let people alter my body! I’m 19 and I’m tired of how cosmetic surgery is becoming so normalized as soon as you turn 18. The brain is not even done fully growing at 18. Cosmetic surgery has so many risks because it’s literally altering the body’. I think this whole trend is terrible, especially because it’s not really sustainable. I think for breast implants you have to replace them every 10 years. What about when you’re older? Healing from surgery doesn’t seem like an easy process. What happens when your body can’t take it anymore? I’d rather age and look natural rather than risk health problems that can shorten my life and give me lots of dysmorphia.

[@allsmiles3281]

I had a breast augmentation and sometimes think about tummy tuck but the results from natural workouts, diet, and weight training definitely look different. Just be safe with whatever decision and go to a QUALIFIED physician. Also get the insurance for the implants mine was only $200 for 10 years. Bigger is not always better. After my boob job I thought I went too small but glad I got the size I did.

With ANY kind of cosmetic surgery, you need to be cared for. Your body is already under stress and not having extra help/care increases it!!! 2) Harrassment at 200%. This is coming from a young black woman who has been harrassed for her natrual curves since 4th grade and nonstop. Oh and *BACK PAIN* , *PAIN IN GENERAL* Too much excess fat can effect the joints and muscles over time.

[@SourEggz]

@@Crystal_Ezeoke Full disclosure, I am not black so I obviously cannot attest to your experience; however, I think most women have been harassed on the street or in public - and boi, is it ever tiring. I am more naturally curvy and I have had men pull up asking if I “needed a ride” while walking to work or customers who told me - out of nowhere- that they were going to “spank” me (I mean, literally, I do not flirt with people and I only just said hello to him). One customer referred to my job’s name and use it as a pun towards me ALL THE TIME and wanted me to “teach him how to email” by giving him my email ALL THE TIME (the name of my job has curvy in it). It is insanity out here! My mom has had this issue, too. Even when she was 50+ she has had a man motion towards her acting like he is going to grab her breasts (she works in a one store hamlet so hicks are about). It is gross. Just read y’alls comment and I was like... yep yep yep. Like it never stops. I live in fear walking home from work sometimes. I get so tired of constantly walking on eggshells to avoid being sexualized. I even stopped wearing makeup and any tight-fitting clothes to avoid comments at my one job. 😞 Anyways, sorry, I had to vent. One thing I do now is give them the awkward silent treatment because these old white dudes (majority of people who have harassed me) are just looking for a flipping response so when you give them nothing - they are confronted with what they said and how stupid it was.

I just wish more people - especially men, would stand up for women being harassed. I know personally my one coworker at my current job was being mocked by some old woman for his stuttering issues and I just swooped in to take over helping her so he didn’t have to deal with it. Like, you don’t even have to be confrontational, just do something to support the other person. Thank you so much for making such insightful content! Have you seen on TikTok that people are claiming that black women are “Asian-fishing” and even a content creator @houseofsienna was claimed to be “white-fishing” because she used primer.

I work at a wholesale store and I started thinking about this exact topic a couple months ago because it’s wild the amount of women I’ve seen this past year with bbls. Like normal regular women walking around with weirdly shaped bottoms. It’s become a point that I see one or two at least once a week and it’s just odd like where did they all come from?? When I think about it, I really think this is about wanting to appeal to men because to want something so ridiculously abnormal and big..? I just don’t see someone with a healthy mindset and self esteem wanting to have that type of body. The attention you attract, the over sexualization of a big behind. I really think it’s deeper than wanting to be happy with your body. One thing is putting on make up to feel pretty but another thing is to go to great lengths to put your life at risk for something so abnormal looking and excessive.

[@dreamweaverkhronikles9206]

How come u didnt think about hiring a personal trainer tho?

[@nizarr21]

Came here for thee fro, stayed for thee fro 😅😅 . Love it!

[@zyrianaarenee453]

Childddddddd I heard so many got the BBL with that PPE Load that was given for businesses to survive. WOW

[@severalpiece7105]

You are not even supposed to sit on your behind for several months. If you get a bbl please plan to stay for atleast a month. If you cant afford it dont go

[@CPT_B]

Women act like ass is the end all and be all of beauty when REAL beauty comes from your health - go to the gym, drink water, eat healthy. Life-threatening surgeries and under the table injections is just awful

[@hiitsme__-_-3760]

We are still too early to see how a BBL will age. I don't feel so confident that it will age well 😬 it's the craze now but body trends come and go. And at that in the foreseeable future we will know how BBL's age and affect the body over time. If the BBL even lasts that long tho

[@melissag8270]

I also here of the fat moving or if you lose/gain weight it affects the look of it, it’s just not something I would want

[@dreamweaverkhronikles9206]

I mean women have been getting it done since...2012-2013 I'm just wondering if this trend will b prolonged even longer bc apparently it should've been died down by now🤦🏽

[@kathydelarosa1286]

I just think if this is just fat transfer, and they end up living a healthy lifestyle then wouldn’t the fat just burn off?? And if they aren’t living healthy then everything would just droop down cuz you know gravity & aging

[@melissag8270]

@@kathydelarosa1286 right, it’s just never gonna stay the same forever!

I've seen a famous older Dominican lady with her bbl and it don't look good at all.

I am okay with being flat most people around me have big butt but I have never felt like I need to change my butt

Mann I love your hair!!❤️

[@Deliverancepoet]

Hair porn !!!!!!🔥😆😍😍🌡🌡 I WISH I had that densityyyyyy yasssss!! im glad you're covering this I have a 3 part video series to discuss the psychology behind why girls wanna do this. I know bc I pursued getting one when I was 20 yrs old and couldn't afford it and am sooooooo glad I didn't have the money , I'm 37 now and will NEVER go under the knife unless my life is in danger period.

[@palesasefurutshe6832]

I'm also struggling with body image...I'm petite...i wanna lose weight so bad. I love myself slimmer. At 20 years old being in varsity its kinda hard being short(.5'2). but I'm learning to love myself more. Here in South Africa most women are naturally built in an hourglass or pear shape..its what i grew up seeing. Africans are naturally thick not entirely though. But i prefer myself slimmer than i actually am.. i think I'm a size 2 in terms of American sizes. In South Africa I'm a 28/30 which is seen as skinny. Lots of love from South Africa 😭😍

[@lenaeportee5627]

It is Definitely out of control I see all these weird looking behinds in California I'm confused like don't they see how off it looks👀 while my sister with a big ole naturally made butt is trying to lose her ass lol...

[@so.many.obstacles]

I think I’m general we need to stop focusing on what our bodies look like and focus on overall health and well-being. Having a nice body is a by-product of that and is more sustainable mentally because your focus is different.

Thanks you sis for sharing. I can appreciate you..

[@sheba1307]

The after care and corrective procedures and maintence procedure as someone who is well versed in the cosmetic health care world is extremely expensive also on top of the surgery cost

[@vietmostwanted]

All that money that women spent on for a bbl should have gone to a profession trainer. Doing weights with legpress, squats and lunges are affective and made my quads toned and bigger

[@daciasdiy1861]

Bbl is becoming Di normal to me! All my friends look good . And normal . Not all huge ! I had a tummy tuck yrs ago and i def belive in doing anything that makes u feel good , 16 yrs later , my stomach is still flat 🙌🏽
