According to experts, men are becoming more self conscious and this has led to a huge increase in demand for male breast reduction operations in the past year. According to BMI Healthcare, the largest private hospital group in the UK, there has been a surge in men looking to have liposuction and breast reduction surgery to get rid of their ‘moobs’ (man boobs). It’s not just the men either - in the past 6 months they have seen a 43% increase in women wanting breast reduction surgery.
The number of men having surgery to correct their ‘moobs’ (man boobs) has risen dramatically over the last year - in fact, figures show that the number of men opting to go under the knife has increased eight-fold over the last three years alone.
