Getting Rid of Man Boobs – Losing Man Boobs

The number of men having breast reduction operations in the UK is rising dramatically, but is this really the result of the media spotlighting the physical flaws of male celebrities?
When both the then Prime Minister Tony Blair and leader of the opposition David Cameron were pictured enjoying the sun in the summer of 2006, newspapers from tabloid to broadsheet passed comment on their “moobs”.
Every man has breast tissue, but some have excessive breasts. This ranges from classical cases of gynaecomastia, prompted by a range of causes, to breasts enlarged entirely by deposits of fat over the pectoral muscles. But whatever the cause British men seem to be increasingly concerned over the state of their chests.
The latest figures from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (Baaps) seem to bear out this obsession.
Surgeons carried out 323 male breast reduction procedures in 2008, up a staggering 44% from 2007.
It would be easy to assume that the UK is a nation where men are rapidly becoming more obese, and they are taking a surgical shortcut to get rid of male breasts that are merely deposits of fat on top of their pectoral muscles.
Do your moobs bother you? Would you consider surgery to change them? And WHY do men have nipples lol?http://news. bbc. co. uk/1/hi/magazine/7855…
