(Newswire.net — August 10, 2016) — Society’s fascination with the buttocks seems to have reached fever pitch over the last decade, as celebrities like Kim Kardashian are adored for their voluminous posterior and women around the world squat, plank and lunge their way into shapelier derrieres.
While the desire for a plump, round bottom feels like a recent phenomenon, our captivation with the posterior actually dates back to ancient civilization and can be found through various representations in cultures around the globe.
For centuries, the female buttocks have been a symbol of fertility and beauty. Statues dating back as far a 24,000 BCE, such as the Venus of Willendorf, feature exaggerated buttocks, hips, and thighs, denoting female fertility and desirability. In fact, the word Venus, which is the name of a Roman mythological god associated with love and beauty, proceeds a number of statues that have prominent buttocks, like Venus Callipyge.
Just consider our language. We are so pre-occupied with rear-ends that there are more than 20 synonyms for the word “buttocks”. But (no pun intended), not all of us are born with a fabulous fanny. For those less endowed individuals who yearn for a more massive gluteus maximus, there is padded underwear, push up pants and padding that can temporarily enhance the look of one’s posterior.
For those wanting a more lasting and impactful solution, there is nothing better than the Brazilian Butt Lift (fat transfer to buttocks), which is now the gold standard for women who wish to have perfect, round, voluptuous, and high buttocks.
In Canada, there is one plastic surgeon who works to contour and shape the body with a particular focus on the butt. Dr. Mansour Bendago, a board certified plastic surgeon practicing at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic in Toronto, is so skilled at performing Brazilian butt lifts, he has earned the illustrious title of “Butt Lift King”.
Dr. Mansour Bendago, who earned his plastic surgery accreditations from the University of Saskatchewan, achieved a momentous milestone this year — 20 years of service, six of which have been spent at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic.
The doctor, who started his medical training in Libya, was always interested in medicine; however, he was especially drawn to plastic surgery because it is one of the few areas that also encompasses aestheticism. “I chose to go into Plastic and Reconstructive surgery based on the principles of being able to manipulate the end result of a procedure,” explains Dr. Mansour Bendago.
Dr. Bendago, who served as the Assistant Professor of Surgery at University of Saskatchewan before moving to Toronto, is well known for his previous work at the Plastic Surgery Department of Rouge Valley Health System, where he also served as Chief of Plastic Surgery and President of the Medical Staff Society.
Now the butt specialist at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic, Dr. Bendago appreciates the artistic freedom plastic and reconstructive surgery allows.
“There is always a proper way to perform a procedure. But, when the end result is aesthetic-based, you need to plan and manipulate the procedure to meet your expectations and that of the patient’s,” says Dr. Bendago. “When a plastic surgeon needs to reshape and contour a part of the body, there are many techniques that a surgeon can choose from in order to achieve the desired result.”
