Men are turning to cosmetic surgery to tackle the embarrassment of "man breasts" or "moobs", fuelling a near doubling in the number of people sculpting their bodies through liposuction.
Thats according to a story in the Sunday Times, which also publishes figures showing that 4,000 operations for liposuction were carried out last year, compared with 2,100 in 2005. Overall, leading plastic surgeons carried out 31% more cosmetic surgery operations last year than in 2005. Demand also increased for brow lifts, which saw a 50% rise, eyelid surgery, up 48%, tummy tucks, up 47% and face and neck lifts, up 44%.
The rise in gynaecomastia, or "man boobs" may be caused by an excess of female hormones in tap water.
