{"title":"In the Search of the Ideal Moroccan Feminine Beauty: Body Aesthetic Preferences Across Demographics.","authors":"Mohammed Rami, Moulay Driss El Amrani","doi":"10.1007/s00266-025-05237-5","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00266-025-05237-5","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Background: </strong>Understanding regional and cultural variations in body aesthetic preferences is crucial for tailoring surgical practices and health messaging. While facial beauty ideals have been extensively studied, there are limited data on body aesthetics in Moroccan populations.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>This study aimed to identify the preferences for female body aesthetics among Moroccan respondents, focusing on breast shape and volume, buttock shape and volume, and abdominal definition.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 1000 Moroccan participants, who evaluated digitally modified images representing variations in breast, buttock, and abdominal morphology. Preferences were analyzed across gender, age, and region. Statistical associations were assessed using the Chi-square test, with a significance level of p < 0.05.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The anatomical (teardrop) breast shape, particularly with a C cup volume and lateral nipple placement, was most preferred (χ² = 41.56, p < 0.001). The heart-shaped buttock with a low waist-to-hip ratio (~ 0.58) was favored across most groups (χ² = 48.03, p < 0.001), while older participants and men showed a slightly higher preference for a rounder shape. For the abdomen, the most desired configuration was a moderately defined linea alba (χ² = 747.79, p < 0.001), consistent with global trends toward a slim, toned midsection. Regional and generational variations highlighted the interplay of traditional and Westernized beauty standards in Morocco.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Moroccan preferences for body aesthetics generally align with global ideals, favoring moderate volume, natural shapes, and well-defined yet balanced contours. However, notable differences by gender, age, and region emphasize the need to contextualize these preferences within both local traditions and the influence of modern media. These insights are critical for aesthetic practitioners and public health professionals working in Morocco and similar cultural contexts.

The protocol combines strict patient selection, advanced surgical technique, and perioperative management strategies aimed at minimizing bleeding risks.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A retrospective analysis was conducted on a patient population of approximately 3000 individuals, with an emphasis on the most recent 500 cases performed under a unified protocol. Key preoperative measures include blood pressure control and avoidance of medications and supplements that increase bleeding risk. Intraoperative strategies involve infiltration with tranexamic acid (TXA), use of fibrin sealants (ARTISS), hemostatic net placement, and meticulous SMAS flap dissection and fixation using a modified High SMAS/Extended SMAS technique.
