How Latinas are Changing the Shape of Beauty: “Behind” the Trend
Nothing is more provocative than a curvy, well-proportioned figure like those exhibited by so many Latina and Hispanic women. With such a large Latin population here in Miami and South Florida, their influence and exotic flare has become evident throughout our local culture including food, music, art and even beauty.
The Hispanic culture is creating a new trend in the idea of “ideal beauty” here in South Florida and around the world. More and more women are turning away from body slimming plastic surgery procedures to curve creating procedures. Buttocks augmentation also known as the Brazilian Butt lift, for example, has become one of the most popular procedures for one Miami plastic surgery practice- Bal Harbour Plastic Surgery Associates. This procedure involves using liposuction to reduce and sculpt the hips, thighs and abdominal areas and then transferring that fat to the buttocks to create a “bootliscious” look similar to J Lo, Beyonce or Kim Kardashian.
“This procedure is like getting a 2 for 1 deal. The liposuction gets rid of unwanted fat and trims and slims areas of the body and the fat transfer to the butt creates the ultimate silhouette with voluptuous curves.” says Board Certified Miami plastic surgeon,Dr. Michael Salzhauer.
In addition to using the patient’s own fat to enhance their rear-end and creating a curvy silhouette, Dr. Salzhauer can also use that fat to enhance the breasts and give them a little lift and fullness. This procedure is not intended to replace a breast augmentation using implants which gives the ultimate enhancement, but is perfect for someone who wants to slightly enhance what they already have.
Whether you are of Hispanic descent or not, if you want to boost your behind and heat up your silhouette, the Bal Harbour Butt Lift delivers a very hot result. Before and After pictures are available online at: www.balharboursurgery.com

About Hispanic Heritage Month
Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America.
The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988, on the approval of Public Law 100-402.
The day of September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September18, respectively. Also, Columbus Day or Día de la Raza, which is October 12, falls within this 30 day period.
