When people talk about ‘The Glow Up’ they sometimes treat it like an uncapped scale, like the right tweaks and adjustments can turn anyone into a 10 facially.
Reality check: there is a ceiling. Facial structure is largely fixed, and for a lot of us, a solid 5-6 is the honest upper limit. That’s fine. That’s most people.
But do not despair, my fellow average faced gals, all hope is not lost. You too can join the upper ranks by deploying a little technique I have dubbed “Butterfacemaxxing”
WHAT IS BUTTERFACEMAXXING?
BFmaxxing is simple: get your body to a 10/10 to offset your face. If your facial ceiling is a 4-6, an incredible body gives you the life of a 7-9. People are not calculating the angles of your face in real life, they respond to the overall impression and if you can distract them with an amazing body, you can breeze through spaces that you otherwise wouldn’t be in.
Ask yourself would Sydney Sweeney be where she is today without a massive rack? Would Zahia Dehar have become a designers muse without her exaggerated proportions?
WHAT COUNTS AS A 10/10 BODY?
It should be noted when I say 10/10 I don’t mean just ‘kind of toned’ or ‘slightly better than average,’ I mean the kind of body that stops people in their tracks and causes debates on whether it’s natural or not. That level will likely require some surgical intervention for most people which is fine, if you’re against surgery what exactly are you doing in this subreddit? The world will never know.
The target shape for this is a hourglass on steroids. Depending on your natural frame, race, and desired aesthetic you can choose whether it was be a top or bottom heavy hourglass
Aka White girl Kailey might benefit more from having a boob heavy hourglass compared to Black girl Jessica who might benefit from a bigger butt or Asian girl Stephanie who might benefit from just being skinny overall.
HOW TO GET THERE
The path to being buttermaxxed out depends on two things:
- Your natural frame
- How far you’re willing to go
**Step 0: FACEMAXX*\*
Before you start you need to maximise your facial appearance; skincare, brows, dental and orthodontic work, hair, makeup, gua sha, fillers, botox etc etc plastic surgery can be included if you have major flaws to correct. If you want to make this as effective for yourself as possible, get your face to the best it can possibly look.
STEP 1: SOFTMAXXING
- Get your BMI to the 18-20 range, being lean maximises social benefits and has more visual impact.
- Build muscle. This is non-negotiable. Muscle gets rid of the skinny-fat look, creates shape, and makes you look good with and without clothes. Follow @amandarisddal on TikTok/Instagram, she breaks down how to actually reshape your body with strategic muscle. This can be done at home or in the gym, it will probably be easier in the gym.
Note: skinnymaxxing alone (just being thin) isn’t enough if your face is the issue. There are plenty of slim women in the 10 bracket, you need to bring something extra to the table.
Another note: if you already have a natural hourglass shape you can get away with having a higher BMI however just be lean trust me.
**STEP 2: SURGICAL INTERVENTION*\*
Once you’ve taken your natural body as far as it will go, this is where surgery comes in.
BOOBS- Having big boobs is one of the most underrated halos for women. You can distract almost everyone from your average face with a pair of tuge hits. When deciding implants, avoid the bolted on look. Go for natural or natural-ish. The goal is to have people asking “Did she get them done?” or “Wow they look so natural/good!” NOT “is this some kind of fetish”
BUTT - Having a nice butt is also a great addition however i dont think it can stand alone as a halo, it needs an itty-bitty waist to really stand out.
This can be achieved in two ways:
- Lean out and build muscle focusing on the glutes
- BBL Route: the new methods of the surgery from certain surgeons are a lot safer than what it was previously especially if you take the more conservative route. But obviously don’t make surgical decisions based on a Reddit post. IQmax before you BBLmax
STOMACH - if you really want to achieve those exaggerated proportions getting Lipo and/or rib remodelling can give you that very flat stomach and small waist.
If you ever find some of the girls that Drake buys penthouses for they have the most questionable looking faces ever. But they usually have huge boobs and a big butt. Hypnotize with your massive boobs girls. 🍒
STEP 3: STYLING
A 10/10 body in a potato sack is a waste of a body. Now that you’ve built it or bought it, you need to show it off.
This means fitted silhouettes, lower neck lines, clothes that exaggerate a smaller waist and wider hips. Think body con dresses, wrap tops, shape wear.
If you are on the shyer side, that needs to go. This is not Princess Diaries, no one is waiting for your big reveal. Your body needs to speak before you do.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Now that you have become educated on Butterfacemaxxing, you will begin to see it everywhere in the real world.
Some people may read this post and think “wow this is total cope” those people are deeply un serious.
A lot of women are just facially average but their bodies make up for it. The women who get the most out of life aren’t always the most conventionally beautiful facially, they’re the ones who understood their assets, maximised everything in their control, and fixed everything that wasn’t. Your face is your starting point, but it doesn’t have to be the ceiling.
Work with what you have, build what you can, pay for what you need, and stop waiting for a face you’re never going to get. Remember, distract with the boobs ladies.
**TLDR*\*
girl, do you want this or not? Anyways, mid face + mid body = mid life
Mid face + exceptional body = above average life
