“Insulin resistance and prediabetes can affect body shape,” Bachilo explains.
This is why V-shaped butts, for example, can be more common in older women: Lower estrogen levels result in fat redistribution from the butt toward the abdomen or midsection.Ĭertain medical conditions can affect butt shape, too. “Classically, I see my postmenopausal patients lose their hourglass shape,” Bachilo says. This means you might start losing some of your butt’s firmness or bounce.Īfter menopause, when your estrogen levels dip, you’ll likely see your fat redistribute once again, leading to more changes. Then, as you get older, your skin cell turnover and collagen production starts slowing down.
This can temporarily change the appearance of your butt. “In pregnancy and during breastfeeding, tend to accumulate more fat in their hips due to temporary hormone changes in their body,” Bachilo explains. “Nothing is really set in stone with the shape of our bodies,” Bachilo says.įor example, fat distribution, including your butt, will change once you start puberty.Įstrogen will cause fat to be distributed to your butt and hips around this time, which is why you’ll start to see your curves develop. In fact, most people’s butts change as they age and go through different hormonal changes.
