1000% Rise in Breast Reductions for Men

onna-no-ko-ja-nai-da-kara.jpg

Men concerned about the size of their breasts are opting for breast reduction surgery in record numbers, delighting plastic surgeons.

A meeting of UK plastic surgeons was told that over the past 5 years breast reduction surgery for men has increased 1000%, with the operation now the fifth most popular cosmetic surgery for men.

Plastic surgeons are delighted by all the new business:

“We are seeing men of all ages coming in to have their breasts made smaller. They are losing their inhibitions about the operation and deciding to undergo an operation which previously was a women’s operation.”

In 2008 alone a thousand men underwent the procedure, which costs in the region of $1,700.

The other top operations are nosejobs, eyelifts, ear corrections and liposuction. The popularity of penis modifications is not mentioned.

The UK has one of the highest rates of obesity in the world, with 2003 UN estimates suggesting 23% of the population is obese, only beaten by Mexico with 24% and the US with some 31%.

For some reason the plastic surgeons fail to mention the utility of losing weight in reducing breast size…

    yeah keep fooling yourself to make you feel better...

    while there's a genetic predisposition, it's mainly a problem caused by bad eating habits in your childhood

    it has to do how fat cells work and how after exceeding the limits of those cells in early ages makes your entire body work accordingly to that excess of fat later on.. also true for skinny people

    Because in America the cheapest food is not meant to fill you up since you lose market share if people don't want to eat anymore

    Because in Britain food is quiet punishment for the various crimes against humanity they perpetrated during colonization. Hence when they eat anyone else's food it's ambrosia and they can't get enough.

    Because in Mexico they sit around all day thinking of new ways to add cheese to "A flour tortilla, ground beef, lettuce, and tomatoes". God bless them for it though

    I don't know about the UK and Mexico, but in the America, the food industry has structured itself to have cheap crappy food that is advertised to people constantly. Try watching TV in America without seeing some plastic burger and sexy music trying to get you to eat yourself into a coma. The big companies load their products with semi addictive ingredients and lots of calories in an attempt to make Americans fatter, and hooked on their products.

    Food industry reform should be a top issue as soon as the economy recovers. It would drastically lower the cost of health care, and would actually solve the main problem as opposed to the "fat tax".

    Actually, when the same standards that Americans use are applied to Europe, Americans are not the fatest. They aren't even in the top 50% of "most obese Westerners". If you want to compare two things, you need to use the same system of meausurements and standards.

    But thanks for playing.

    Maybe it's because of the hormones that is injected into the livestock that we consume everyday or it may be the cause of evolution that enable's men to grow breast. If not why would men have nipples initially?? There is also a possible of men producing breastmilk if the breast are sucked long enough.

    Well, if you can "just" go make a surgery like you can cut your hair and fingernails, go ahead. I am aware many surgerys aren't risky, and don't have any chronic drawbacks, at least none which have been found out yet. But it still shouldn't be taken lightly. Also, what are they going to if that fat returns? I bet it will for the most, since they won't watch more for their health as they did before.

    Actually, man boobs =/= fat. It's about hormonal imbalance that leads to the glands growing bigger. This may be caused by the food you take in, but it's also possible that you just happen to have a hormonal imbalance (in whitch case it's likely genetic). It can happen especially during puperty. It's relatively common for a adolescent boys to have growth leading to teen-tits. For some this growth is only temporary, but for some the tits wont shrink even after reaching maturity.

    Having man boobs can be socially disabling. You may be lean but still have your tits sticking out off your shirt.

    True, if it's breast tissue you can diet all you want - it won't go away. However many doctors combine the tissue removal with liposuction when the patient is obese since there is too much fat underneath too.

    Also if you look around in bodybuilder forums you will regularly find threads about gynecomastia surgery (+tips to hide the fact that you used roids from your doctor to get surgery approval).

    It's due to female hormones from birth control that can't be filtered out of the recycled waste water, so it ends up coming back out of the tap and men end up drinking them.

    That, and eating/drinking bisphenol-a leeched from plastic containers.

    If you wanna lose weight, I recommend what worked for me. It's called the "Move to Japan Diet."

    Before I left the US two months ago I weighed 220lbs. After 2 months living in Japan, living my daily life which involves a lot of walking, and eating whatever I want for my meals, I've lost 30 pounds. You have to really try to be fat here, not to mention pay a lot of money cuz you have to eat McDonalds or red meat like every day, and that shit gets expensive.
