Renaissance Plastic Surgery

Any woman who has ever discussed the merits of an 'apple' figure versus a 'pear' figure will quickly assure you that the grass is greener on the other side. Let's face it, if you've got great legs but a soft stomach you find yourself longing to look great in a bikini. Likewise, those with a pear shape won't waste a moment telling you that they would gladly trade their fabulous torsos for glorious legs.

But not everyone is aware that the more bootylicious of us actually have the upper hand when it comes to long term health. Yes, it's true. Those hips are actually good for you:

"A new study has come to the conclusion that subcutaneous fat around the hips is actually beneficial. It’s the visceral fat of the pot bellies that is bad and which is likely to cause type II diabetes and heart disease."

But let's be fair. Just because it is beneficial to my health doesn't mean I'm apt to enjoy it. Our apple shaped sisters can always conceal their abdomen with clever styling. Tunics and babydoll dresses work wonders. But how do you manage an ample bottom?

The answer for many is a healthy diet and a good routine of cardio and lunges. Weight training works wonders for every woman's figure, but those of us who have been 'blessed' with a more voluptuous lower body really need to adhere to a fitness routine to keep things firm.

And in all honesty, some of the best looking 'pear' bodies I've seen have been on women who've added liposuction or other lower-body trimming procedures to the mix. Sure, that Kim Kardashian-worthy booty might be good for your health... but is it doing the same for your self esteem? It depends. In the case of Kim, her fame is due in large part to her phenomenal good looks and - yes, that recognizable behind.

But even Kim isn't immune to pressure to look a certain way. In one episode of her celebrated show on E! she underwent a body sculpting treatment in an attempt to smooth away cellulite. And she has freely admitted that she is not opposed to cosmetic surgery if she feels her appearance will benefit from it.

And if a gorgeous celeb like Kim - lauded for her curves - feels this way, it's no wonder millions of women seek a bit of surgical "assistance" to ensure they look great from behind. Sure, the pear shape may mean I have less of a risk of diabetes and heart disease. But is it too much to ask that I also look phenomenal in my jeans?
