Plastic Surgery for Man Boobs On The Increase

Some drugs, such as cannabis and anabolic steroids can cause breast development, and if you use these and have gynaecomastia, it's definitely a good idea to stop.

 

The BBC news has reported that breast reduction surgery is gaining popularity amongst men with gynaecomastia ("man boobs" or "moobs").

The condition is estimated to affect between a third and half of all men, especially teenagers and younger men. True gynaecomastia is linked to hormonal changes, certain medications and some diseases. This is where real breast tissue is present. "Pseudo" gynaecomastia is due to being overweight, and is caused by an accumulation of fat. (See Gynecomastia, a prevalent embarrassment for more details.)

 

Doctor Raj Ragoowansi (a plastic surgeon) told the BBC news that he had seen a big increase in the number of male patients for breast reduction surgery. But do you really need an expensive operation to deal with your man boobs?

 

The BBC's health "Ask the Doctors" section suggests not:

 

A straightforward operation can be done to remove the breast tissue, but this is very rarely necessary.

 

If you are in your teens and have gynaecomastia, there's probably nothing to worry about: once you're through puberty, the "man boobs" will probably disappear.

 

If you're overweight, making lifestyle changes to slim down could be all that's needed.

 

If despite losing weight, you still have woman-like breasts, talk to your doctor. In many cases, medicine is all that is needed to reverse the condition.

 

Gynaecomastia is a very common condition, so don't be embarrassed about consulting your doctor if you think you're suffering from it.

I don't think they'll stop spreading this message until women start taking up marijuana to get bigger breasts. Then they'll change it to shrinking breasts.

If that worked my girlfriend would have to carry hers in a wheelbarrow. They're kinda big as they are but she was an everyday smoker throughout her puberty cycle.

 

As for myself, that article would explain a lot if it was true but I'm just a fat shit so that's why I've got manboobery.
