Big Booty Surgery Surges

What came first, Jennifer Lopez's big booty or women's desire for big booties? According to plastic surgeons, the "American Idol" judge wins that philosophical debate.

"Ever since Jennifer Lopez made it on the scene," says Dr. Jeffrey Roth, a local plastic surgeon, "women really want that heart-shaped look with fullness in the upper pole of the butt."

In other words, just like Sir Mix-A-Lot all those years ago, they want big butts and they cannot lie.

According to figures from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Americans spent more than $31 million on buttock augmentation surgeries in 2010, a 40 percent jump from the year before. Judging from the sex symbolism of other celebrities, such as Beyonce and Kim Kardashian, the trend likely won't go away anytime soon.
