Man-boobs drive more men to cosmetic surgery

An increasingly self-conscious group of men aren't laughing at man-boob jokes anymore. According to the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons, more and more men are having plasctic surgery to reduce the size of their breasts.

The exact figures are still unknown but plastic surgeons observed that there has been a dramatic increase on the number of Australian males seeking surgery to combat gynecomastia. A plastic surgeons' spokesman Norm Olbourne notes that local trends followed those in the US and UK.

"The latest figures from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons show there was a 22 per cent increase in male breast reduction last year, while plastic surgeons in the UK also report a surge in numbers," he said.

This dramatic increase is believed to be caused by a growing acceptance of plastic surgery for men and an increased awareness of body image among men.

Richmond plastic and reconstructive surgeon Jane Paterson said she had seen an increase in men wanting breast reduction surgery. She said the majority of her patients "have a fear of taking off their clothes, going to the beach or gym".

"They're at a time in their life when it is very important for them to be completely masculine and any hint of femininity they find distressing."

Dr. Paterson also said the surgery was life-changing for many of her patients. "They love it, they're almost on the brink of tears they are so grateful," she said.

However, as with any surgery, Dr. Paterson said that there were risks, including bleeding and infection. There is also the risk the breasts will be unbalanced or the surgeon may remove too much or too little.

Breast reduction surgery in men can be as minor as liposuction around the breast area, but can also include removing breast gland tissue and in extreme cases also removing skin.
