Moob Surgery - the rise in plastic surgery for ....MEN

What happened to aging gracefully?  It certiantly hasn't been the popular method for women for years.  The rise of botox, fillers, and all kinds of other crap that millions of plastic surgeons everywhere market to women over the age of 30 (yes, I've heard women as low as 30 starting to get botox!).  Personally, I can understand a little fixing here and there.  I wouldn't mind getting my eyelids lifted (I naturally have "fat" eyelids) or a bit of lipo here and there.  But seriously - I don't get the constant cosmetic procedures to make yourself look younger. 

And guess who has caught the fever now? MEN.  Really?  Men.  the ones who even look better with age (and not all of them - but many of them do - can you say George Clooney!)

And what do you think is one of the most popular plastic procedures for men?  A breast reduction.  Yes, men are getting their man boobs removed!  Surgeons last year performed 13.1 million procedures last year on both men and women, a 5% increase over 2010.  But among men there was a 6% increase!  In total that means that 18,280 men got their boobs done.

The figures also showed a 14 per cent increase in the number of men getting facelifts and a 7 per cent hike in liposuction amongst males.

  1. Cosmetic surgery can certainly make people look much better and help improve self esteem so long as it is not taken too far. In America where cosmetic surgery is big business some people look hideous because of the number of times they have gone under the knife. Not only women get hooked on cosmetic surgery but some men are just as bad.
