Breast ops defy financial gloom
Surgery to reduce male breast size is becoming more popular Cosmetic surgery has so far avoided the effects of the economic downturn - with more people in the UK than ever choosing to go under the knife.
Figures released by the profession revealed soaring rates of breast operations - with reduction of "man-breasts" among the fastest rising. In total, 34,187 procedures were carried out last year- up 5% from 2007.
A top surgeon warned in cash-strapped times, it was vital patients did not make decisions based solely on price. While many other parts of the economy are contracting, the overall number of people undergoing cosmetic surgery keeps increasing, with the number of procedures more than tripling since 2003.
While women account for the vast majority of procedures, it appears that men are one of the main forces behind continued growth. The figures from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons revealed a total of 323 operations to reduce the size of male breasts in 2008, an increase of 44% over the previous year, and a rise of well over 1,000% since 2003.
Big rises were also seen in men having ear correction, eyelid surgery and brow lifts. Mr Rajiv Grover, a consultant plastic surgeon, said that this might be due to more publicity about the procedures. "There has been a dramatic rise in the number of procedures such as male breast reduction and brow lifts - this may be due to heightened media attention, which has allowed men to realise the positive outcomes that can be achieved."
Tummy tuck Among women, breast augmentation procedures rose by 30% to more than 8,000 last year, with a similar rise in the number of "tummy-tucks".

Koobs
I have no idea if FR has a Moob Ping List. But if we do, one of you guys must run it.
[laughing diabolically and running like mad]
These guys need a “Bro”.
I remember reading that even with the silicone scare way back when, the number of knob jobs barely dipped.
"Oh, the humantitty!"
That guys name is Richard Speck . In 1966 He killed eight student nurses in Chicago. Died in prison in 1991.
Ah-hah! The keeper of The List! :-D
The pictures on this thread are truly frightening. Like ha-ha frightening...
But not so funny that sick, murderous freak in #13. Serial killer who got a bewb job and was interviewed in prison next to his boyfriend there, which is the origins of that footage. He probably sought a boyfriend for protection as soon as he entered the system.
LOL!
