( CNN ) Doing weird stuff to your body in the name of beauty is n't anything new . Humans have been changing the shape of our skulls , inking ourselves up and sticking things through various protuberances since before we figured out how to write . But now we have Twitter and Facebook and hashtags , so these things seem to sweep around the world faster than a quick trip to the piercing joint . And somehow , many trends these days seem to somehow involve a member of the Kardashian clan . The latest : Lip plumping . By sucking on a jar . To look like Kylie Jenner . Seriously . It even has a hashtag : # KylieJennerChallenge . Do n't worry , we said , `` What the ... ? '' too . But , we are , after all , in the business of providing you , dear reader , with information about the news , events and trends that surround you . So please read on to learn more about this and other `` beauty '' trends inspired by the Kardashians : . Used to be , YouTube would teach the kiddos how to put on eyeliner or style their hair like a favorite star . That 's so old-school . Now , the nets say you should stick your lips in a shot glass , suck all the air out and then pull it off to reveal your all-new plump kisser , just like Kylie Jenner . Except , well , see for yourself . The hashtag # KylieJennerChallenge has been trending on Twitter in recent days , with posters showing off the often disturbing results of their efforts . `` Made my chin look like a hickey a week ago and I 'll say iv never felt so dumb , '' Twitter user emmaburkie posted Monday . Plenty of folks shared the sentiment . Many were people who 'd tried it . Others were just shaking their heads . Surgeon Dr. Dendy Engelman told Seventeen that the trend is dangerous . `` Not only can significant pain , swelling , and bruising result from these suction techniques , but there is potential risk for scarring and permanent disfigurement with repeated attempts , '' Engelman said . Jenner has tweeted her disapproval of the lip-plumping trend she inspired . It 's a trend that predates the Kardashians , but they certainly gave us a lot of it : the sideboob , the flash of breast from the side of a dress , shirt or just about anything else that can be draped on a woman 's body . According to Google , the arbiter of all things , search interest in sideboob has fallen off since its 2012 peak , when Huffington Post dutifully reported `` another day , another sideboob '' shot from Kim Kardashian . How about something newer ? Surely you 've heard of the `` belfie '' ? A term reportedly coined by Kim Kardashian herself , this charming practice -- a butt selfie -- involves posting self-photography of one 's posterior , thusly : . The trend took off last year , with a deluge of broadcast butts and not a little derision , but may have reached its peak with the apparently real belfie stick -- a device for taking `` perfect belfies simply and quickly . '' Butt never fear , Kylie Jenner is here to keep the trend going , with a belfie taken just this month liked by 1.4 million people : . Here 's a fact for you : In 2014 , the number of women undergoing `` buttock augmentation '' rose by a mountainous 86 % , according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Reports . Why ? Kim Kardashian , of course , say the doctors . `` While a rounder , more curvaceous derriere has been in vogue for a number of years , celebrities like ( Nicki ) Minaj and Kim Kardashian have brought the attention to the rear to an all-time high influencing more women to undergo buttock augmentation to achieve the hourglass look , '' Dr. Constantino Mendieta said in an ASAPS statement . And he should know . He bills himself a `` butt augmentation specialist . '' Back in the day , folks who wanted to look like Rachel from `` Friends '' got her haircut . Now , they get surgery . Well , some of them . Meet Jordan James Parke , who made news this year with an interview with Britain 's The Sun newspaper in which he reportedly said he spent $ 150,000 to look like , you guessed it , Kim Kardashian . He later told US Magazine he does n't want to look exactly like Kim . But he 'd die for her butt . `` I 'd like to get a bum as big as hers , but I wo n't get implants , '' the magazine quoted him as saying . `` I 've been looking at body contour -- I want to get lipo on my stomach and back and then they put the fat back into your bum . ''
From belfies to butt implants , the Kardashian clan has inspired many a trend . The latest : Kim pouty lips spark the # KylieJennerChallenge .
