Kim Kardashian's "Bottom Doctor" issues warning about wanting her look

It is her most famous - and most recognisable - asset, but Kim Kardashian's extraordinary derrière has become so large that even Hollywood's "bottom doctor to the stars" has said she's gone too far.

Her backside made headlines again last week as photographs taken on a Mexican beach revealed the cellulite that is usually airbrushed out of carefully approved images of the reality star.

And according to the Daily Mail, cosmetic surgeon Dr Aardon Rollins, who is said to have treated her, said the pictures should serve as a warning to other women considering the so-called "Brazilian butt-lift".

He said: "Let Kim serve as a lesson to anyone who wants to make a body part bigger. "If they have cellulite there before the procedure, then it will be there afterwards, too. People need to think about that or it will look bad like Kim's."

And he said of the 35-year-old's backside: "It's very big, maybe too big."

According to Dr Rollins, who plans to open a London clinic this year, Kim has now lost her place as "top of the bottoms" to her young sister, Kylie Jenner.

"When people come in now, they ask for 'a Kylie'. She's younger, and her weight hasn't gone up and down like Kim's."
