THE number of men seeking a moob reduction surged 28 per cent in the last 12 months, figures reveal.
Requests for the £2,670 operation soared as blokes try to ditch their man boobs like TV’s James Corden for tidy pecs like David Beckham.
And surgeons say demand rocketed further after the Olympics with Brits keen to copy the bodies of Team GB heroes including Tom Daley and Louis Smith.
Pat Dunion, boss of surgery group Transform, said: “Man boobs can be difficult to shift using exercise alone.
“More and more men who are feeling self conscious about the size of their chest area are turning to chest reduction surgery — also known as gynaecomastia — to overcome their problem and boost their confidence.” Nose jobs have become the second-most popular male procedure, with demand up 17 per cent.
And enquiries about bald-battling hair transplants have increased since Wayne Rooney had the op, up 15 per cent.
Eyebag removal and Botox were in fourth and fifth place for men.
But while blokes are looking to have their baps reduced, more women want to boost the size of their assets.
Enquiries for breast enlargements soared by a record 45 per cent last year.
Overall the number of men and women looking at plastic surgery jumped by 65 per cent in 2012.
The rise in the want and need for this procedure continues to support the vainity theory that I will discuss throughout my EPQ project.
Interview
The interview on an Americal television channel with a surgeon named Dr Shenker shows the reasons why a lot of people have plastic surgery. It is important that I look at Cosmetic surgery from a professionals point of view as surgery counts for hundreds of thousands of jobs throughout the world. This could be used as another argument of why surgery is worth it as it provides tax money into the economy as well as less unemployment, etc.
The fact that he is doing the interview with a patient gives two sides to the story and she supports the vainity issue which I am going to cover in my article. She says that she wanted the "fullness" that she had before having her children showing that she wanted the enhancement because it looked better whereas others have certain procedures in order to help themselves
