Ballerina Boobs Are All the Rage
Is this a recession indicator?

Whether you call them “ballerina boobs” or “yoga boobs,” the point remains the same: more and more women are opting for smaller breast implants than in the past.
According to The Wall Street Journal, some 300,000 women underwent breast augmentation surgery in 2024, and many of those women, according to their doctors, chose a “natural” and “perky” looking cup size. While these surgeries often cost the same if not more than your average breast augmentation, the ‘ballerina boobs’ trend has been steadily on the rise since 2022.
You can thank Ozempic if you’d like, or you could point to a rise in health-conscious Gen Zers; however, we can all agree, a boob’s a boob.
@wallstreetjournal In the age of Ozempic, patients are downsizing their implants and seeking surgeries that offer subtle enhancement. One surgeon called the trend "Park Avenue quiet luxury." “We all want little perky boobs,” one woman said. #wsj♬ original sound - The Wall Street Journal
