If we were to summarize the beauty canon of the last decade, Kim Kardashian and her ass would be the brightest star. She started an obsession with big butts and curvy bodies that left behind the skinnyness of the 2000s and ushered in a new era that may now be deflating (literally speaking). Has the end of the implant bubble come?
The implants are no longer cool: this is how they are descending
His strength seemed unstoppable and the demand with which women asked for butt and breast implants was growing faster and faster. Between 2015 and 2019, 90% more BBLs (Brazilian Butt Lifts) were ordered in the United States and by 2021 it was the most requested cosmetic surgery in that countrydespite the dangers involved. In Spain it has also increased by 30% according to data from SECPRE.
As for breast implants, “they continue to be one of the five most requested cosmetic surgeries since 2006 in the United States,” they assured in 2020 from the American Association of Plastic Surgeons. In Spain they account for more than 40% of cosmetic operations performed, according to SECPRE. But now this current is turning and, little by little, we are seeing how the figures fall and return to natural bodies.
This is indicated by the new American statistics for the last year, which They have dethroned the buttock lift from the top 5 of aesthetic operations. As for breast augmentation, it is still in high demand but some celebrities and their decision to remove breast implants could indicate a change in trend.
Celebrities give up implants
Increasingly celebrities talk about the mistake it was for them to get implants and they decide to reverse the process and return to their natural breast. the actress of glee Heather Morris told in 2011 that they hurt a lot. Victoria Beckham took them off in 2014 because she “hurt”. Yolanda Hadid, mother of the two Hadid sisters, removed all her implants in 2019 and did not hesitate to tell about it on Instagram.
“I’m finally back to being the original from 1964. I live in a body free of breast implants, fillers, botox, extensions and all the crap I thought I needed to live up to what society considers a sexy woman to be. That toxicity almost killed me.”
And like them many others: Some names are Heidi Montag, Pamela Anderson or Chrissy Teigen, who in 2020 announced that she was taking them off because “I’ve gotten over it. I want to be able to button up a dress in my size and lie on my stomach comfortably.” But the most talked about are Kim and Khloé Kardashianbecause they have shaped the current beauty canon and now they are deconstructing it.
The Kardashian effect: from the exuberant body to the return to normality
The latest media appearances of Kim Kardashian have raised gunpowder rivers, because it seems that the famous has put aside her exuberant curves and has gone to a more natural and reduced cleavage.

Her older sister Khloé seems to have done the same thing, reducing her chest noticeably. We know that any aesthetic operation of the Kardashian is news. But this could be the most surprising of all and lead the thousands of women who yearn to have a body like yours to get tired of exuberance.
The three possible reasons for the end of implants
It is still too early to talk about a change in the paradigm of beauty and in the fever to increase centimeters of hip, ass and chest that has been directing aesthetic operations since 2010. But a series of reasons have aligned as if planets were try and all together could explain why the era”this ass is natural, not plastic” it’s closer what it seems like.
a health issue
Many of the women who have breast implants removed claim to do so because of pain or discomfort. And it is that it has been shown that this breast augmentation can bring with it a disease known as BII or breast implant diseasethat according BreastCancer adds many difficulties:
“Joint and muscle pain, chronic fatigue, concentration and memory problems, breathing problems, sleep disturbances, rashes and skin problems, dry mouth and eyes, anxiety, depression, headaches, hair loss and gastrointestinal problems. “
The (dreaded) return of heroin-chic
We already predicted it a few months ago: the return of the extreme thinness that the media called heroin-chic in the 2000s it is already a reality. This makes us return to aspire for androgynous bodies of 40 kilos in the pure Kate Moss style, without curves or cleavage and where implants have no place.
It mainstream It is not cool
i’m listening to a podcast about how plastic surgery is becoming too accessible and now that poor people are getting butts and boobs, rich people will go back to ~all natural~ because they must differentiate themselves from the common folk https://t .co/bMS31jcWh9

The worst thought also think that now that cosmetic surgery is so accessible and mainstreamthe trendsetters who seek to differentiate themselves have lost interestbecause it is no longer cool nor novel. And who knows, they may not be wrong. Are we, then, facing the descent of the empire of silicone tits and Cardi B-style asses?
