Women are enduring invasive bottom-enlarging procedures in a bid to emulate voluptuous celebrities such as Iggy Azalea, Amber Rose and Nicki Minaj, according to the cosmetic surgeon Gary Ross.
Even previously waif-like supermodels are embracing their curves thanks to the more voluptuous cover girls Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajowki, Manchester-based Mr Ross adds.
He told MailOnline: ‘Celebrities like Kim Kardashian have been championing the more rounded look for almost a decade. But in the last four years or so the more voluptuous bottom has become a very real trend.
‘Nowadays, if a woman asks “does my bum look big in this?”, the answer they may want to hear is “yes”.’
In the past five years, there has been a five-fold surge in the number of women requesting consultations to have buttocks like their favourite celebrities, Mr Ross adds.
One woman even took out a £4,000 loan to have the procedure and imitate her favourite curvy celebrities. Scroll down for her before and after pictures.
