Heroin Chic Is Set To Make A Comeback And Replace The Big Booty Trend, But Will The Body Positivity Movement Shut It Down?
For the last several years, the curvy, thicc trend has reigned supreme. The Kardashians have made big butts popular and were at least partly responsible for the uptick in how many Brazilian butt lift surgeries women were getting around the country. But all signs are pointing to heroin chic making a comeback—that is, if the body positivity movement will let it.
The Brazilian butt lift is an hours long procedure that has an extremely difficult road of recovery (you can't even sit down for a while), but more women than ever have been opting in for the procedure over the last several years. In 2015, there was a BBL performed every 30 minutes. In 2021, there was a 37% increase of BBLs performed compared to 2020. Between 2015 and 2019, it was reported that the number of BBL surgeries increased by 90%. But it seems like the big booty trend is starting to die down and people are predicting that heroin chic is making a comeback. This may not sit well with the body positivity movement, though.
